MYAKKA


Why not keep it killer, right? No sense wrapping up the first week of 2019 with some clunker, so here's a ripper from 2016. MYAKKA sound anxious the whole damn time, with a constant surge and some of the weirdest sounding punk guitars I've come across in a long long time. And not "what the fukk?!?" weird, more like "I've been listening for ten minutes and it turns out these guitars are weird" weird. Which is really a much more effective (and honestly? ...weirder) weird. All the gut punch you would expect from a modern south Florida hardcore act, and this one sticks with you something fierce. I recommend not dismissing the flip side - they did they whole "here's our demo backwards on the back side" thing, and it works really really well.
