COUNTY Z

 

I feel like I encountered COUNTY Z at exactly the wrong time (for me). All I wanted then was faster and louder - and I definitely didn't want violins. In 1996 I would have eaten this up. Today I listen with intent curiosity. But in 2001...? Nah motherfucker, I wanted blistering drums and sonic tonnage...thankfully these sounds were patient and they waited for me to come around. I'd file them alongside KREAMY 'LECTIC SANTA, THE EX and SUBMISSION HOLD for fans of outsider experimentation within the loose confines of DIY punk will be at least intrigued (if not enthralled). I still like sonic tonnage though.
