FEX URBIS

 

Decidedly more stripped down than their 2018 effort, the first release from London's FEX URBIS acts as a roadmap to their path of future destruction. Like a sonic beast emerging from a placenta of E. Smith influenced outsider punk, these five tracks hit the wall hard and slowly slide down into a puddle. Cuts like "Sewer" will grab the dark punk set, while the whole tape nods to the noisy guitar driven nihilism that dominates the aforementioned sophomore effort. Fans of acts like BAD BREEDING, TRUE RADICAL MIRACLE and/or SUBDUED might want to pay attention here...to another act that ticks all the right boxes but still finds a way to avoid fitting into any of them.
