ANFO

 



If you were digging through crates in the early '00s, then you came across ANFO records. The La Sangre.... EP seemed to be in every bin for a while, the split with D.F.C. was my first exposure to the Brazilian thrashers (who I'd finally get to see ten years later) and there  and I feel like there's probably a CD (or two) sitting on my CD shelf (ok - shelves)....but naturally, it's the tapes. There are a couple of splits that predate LatinoAmerica Resiste, and this first full length length harnesses all of that power and then some. Throaty, churning political crust punk - emphasis on punk, you know? I wonder what would happen if a band like this dropped in 2023, but I know what happened the first time I heard ANFO: I got chills. Shit is real.
