XM2



Another mid-2010s band that seemed to come and go in a fukkn flash, Barcelona's XM2 left us with this one tape...but it's enough. Brash, abrasive, choppy hardcore punk sometimes reminiscent of São Paulo's CANKRO and always spitting pure fire. The songs are over before you want them to be over - "Violencia Indebia" sounds like the introduction to the best song that you will never hear - and hearing layers of noise fall in to wage sonic war with the piercing guitars EQed to Mould '82 only adds to the chaos and/or confusion. Can't heap enough praise on this tape and then.....it's over.
