EXXXON

 

Jensen turned me onto this crew a few weeks back - a small crew of mutants who dipped out of society and are hiding out in the middle of nowhere Wyoming and appear to have licked their survivalist to-do list because they seem to have more than enough time to crank out ear bleeding ass shaking raw punk at a pace typically reserved for bored teenagers. I'm sure the other bands will make their way onto these pages eventually (though I would hope that one blast of these EXXXON tunes will have discerning visitors sourcing these sounds independently). This crew sounds like early '10 NW Indiana hardcore (think CCTV, LIQUIDS and the like) reborn...well, reborn in rural Wyoming...and this old ass man over here is just eating it up. Two songs on Gas Tape, three on More Gas, both released earlier this year and clocking in just over six minutes (together). I try to make friendly suggestions rather than blatant commercial endorsements, but there are nine more tapes where these came from and Deluxe Bias has me completely hooked.
