G.R.O.S.S.

 

A killer high end extravaganza from G.R.O.S.S., further cementing my belief that the Maritime Provinces have been home to some of the best DIY punk bands in the world for the last few years (check the recent CELL DETH demo, also from Sewercide). Hard to describe how much the sonic presentation does for the tracks here - great, snappy punk chops (the longest is "Rift," clocking in at a whopping 1:10) turned into piercing shots by trebled out garage hardcore guitars and a muffled, raspy sweet croon where you might expect rough and tumble snarls. Comes off like a loud, sweaty basement show where everyone is moving...do they have basements in Nova Scotia? I need to find out.
