VILE GASH


Released for last summer's West Coast tour, this tape compiles all the jams from these Midwestern sweethearts you might have missed out on. Seasoned veterans, the members of VILE GASH have taken their experience and put it to good use over a slew of demos and vinyl releases, many of which were immediately relegated to collector scum status. Far from mysterious and pretentious bullshit that is frequently (though inexplicably) mentioned in the same breath, VILE GASH are streamlined and furious - exactly the way hardcore bands should be. "Unfit" from the second demo seems as if it's half an hour long (it takes up over a quarter of the entire cassette) but its simplicity is brilliant, and rarely have three descending chords sounded so punishing. 20 songs in 23 minutes, including a few live covers.

Just digging thru the guts of your massive library and came across this gem. Sure, I've heard the band, but I haven't heard this specific tape. Brutal knuckle drag, dare I say, hate punk? Not trying to destroy all the fun with labels... but with music this angry, you can't deny that hatred is part of the equation... Pure, focused anger at EVERYTHING. Anyone trying to political or personal with this stuff has already lost the thread.
