JUMP THE BLINDS

 

More lost DIY '10s North American punk, this time from Niagara Falls, New York. Nine abrasive garage hardcore screamers, sweaty like 1990s Columbus (if you know...then you know) and smart like 1970s SF, blasted through a filter steeped in first wave 1960s proto punk. And then there's "Why Try?," a garbled awkward track that sounds like an escapee from a mid-'80s Dischord institution, and "Bed Bugs," which is like an orphan EDDY CURRENT demo that raised itself on the streets in the rough and tumble 2000s. I think I've covered all of the relevant decades now, so I'll leave you to this JUMP THE BLINDS recording.
