MILISI KECOA



Punk is almost always better when it's a little rough around the edges, and Bandung's MILISI KECOA is a perfect example. Ramshackle light speed hardcore punk with a hint of Oi! and omnipresent gang vocals. I snagged their split with HÅRDA TIDER when it came out, but this 2010 escaped me until recently (thanks, Matt). Way rougher, but in a way that feels honest - the solos aren't quite dialed, the vox crack every now and then, and the drum fills are like a bag of rocks rolling down a hill. And they turn "Attitude" into a 63 second fastcore burner. It's exactly the shit I wanted.
