NUCLER BLUD

 



The way I understand things, sometime in or around 2021 the members of Oakland's ULTRA kinda fizzled. Decided they maybe weren't really feeling things and the band just kinda faded. Then they decided to inject new life into their creative orb by doubling the speed of their songs, and the result is NUCLER BLUD who debuted a week ago in San Francisco supporting AVSKUM (who were, of course, stellar). This plan of theirs, it worked really well. Really well. The six songs on Form Raze are all fukkn stunners, propelled by fierce snarls and a buzzsaw guitar that is tweaked just right so that it never enters mindless fuzz territory (note: mindless fuzz is wonderful, but NUCLER BLUD have songs that need to not get lost). This introduction is only eight minutes long, but these punks are on their way to some serious shit. You've been warned.
