I know what you're thinking - you're thinking "It's Friday so there's probably (hopefully) going to be a mix tape" and "There's been so much crucial Indonesian shit on The Escape lately, I would love a collection of bands I've never heard of from the world's fourth most populous country." Good news, punk: I have got you covered. THE STUPID are harsh, relentless and out of tune. MEINKAMPF (in addition to having a really unfortunate name) are also out of tune and have the weirdest duel vocal trade offs. DISPARATY are uncompromising ramshackle hardcore street punk (and also pretty much out of tune). THE PLAGIATOR play catchy gruff punk anthems - kinda like WHITE TRASH SUPERMAN with super harsh vocals but from the world's fourth most populous country and definitely drunker (and also they are also pretty much out of tune most of the time). It sounds like the bands just lined up outside the studio and walked in one after another and banged their tunes out on the same equipment while the engineer slugged homemade swill and didn't move a single fader. Look, I would be lying if I told you that any single song on this tape was going to improve your life, but we listen to punk to hear punk - not to improve our lives. Sometimes we get both, but we're here for the punk. So it's Friday, and I've got some intriguing Indonesian tapes burning a hole in my shelf...so you're welcome.
