There are so many micro-scenes that will likely remain unexamined except by serious archivists and documentarians; a reality resulting from too many pockets of punk for the greater community to dig into all of them. We're separated by geography and genre and time and it's simply not possible to go down every rabbit hole because the further you dig, the more to isolate yourself from the other rabbit holes and micro-scenes. But holy fukkn shit.....someone needs to immerse themselves in the first few waves of Indonesian DIY hardcore and punk. The context of the sounds is incredibly important and powerful, but even blasting the sounds without context will melt your face and every time I turn around there's yet another band I had never heard from a scene I knew nothing about and....and they fukkn destroy me. Enter NOISE INSIDE. This one dropped in 2002 and I swear it has not lost an ounce of intensity in the last two decades. "Police Shit" is worth the price of admission on its own, but it's the whole damn tape that gets me charged - imagine high energy DIY hardcore that delivers guttural UK crust with '80s crossover velocity and Y2K thrashcore intensity. Think about that shit. I typed the last sentence just as "My Life" kicked in and it was like "oh yeah, all of that shit plus raging Japanese HC" and now all I can think about is the Killed By Indonesian Hardcore comp that need to exist. So yeah, try to have a Monday that leads to a week of some kind of life knowing that this tape exists and no one knows about it.....and good luck.
