NANDAS

 



This scene did for New York in the mid-'10s what the Silenzio Statico ponx had done for LA a few years earlier. I don't mean NANDAS specifically (or even Toxic State in particular), but for a while you could just tell something was happening and you knew that it was something you wanted to hear. Even if everything didn't grab you (me), you (I) still picked it up and checked it out because there was a thing happening and that's what happened when I copped the Exo EP and I fukkn loved it. Murky, cold, monotonous pogo squirms fronted by uncompromising demented snarls? Yeah, that's the shit I was looking for at the time, and NANDAS delivered. I missed the demo but I caught up eventually (obviously, because here it is) and a decade later I'm still mentally moshing....
