AYPEROS

 

I often write about things that remind me of other things - about listening to things that make me thing about other times when I listened to other things. That's Nihspra in a nutshell, and I am fucking frothing while I introduce myself to AYPEROS because these sounds are emblematic of one of the best times in (my) punk history. This is mid-'00s stadium crust; PDX SweDe-Beat infused with black metal and CELEST(E) blasts and then just.......fukk man, just listen to the title track here. Please. PLEASE. 

NIHSPRA

XAMPLES

 

What is this.....? This is early '10s LA raw ponx unrealized. This is MANIA and DRAPETOMANIA. This is ADOLESCENTS and SADICOS and also UK82 and Group Sex and all of that shit, because what is this shit really....? It's punk. Shit is fukkn punk. PERIOD. Like seriously, what else do you need. Seems like XAMPLES were ever so slightly on the back end of the SoCal wave that stopped all of the (us) old(er) punks dead in their (our) tracks....but that's just context. Today is really just seems like this tape fukkn rules and the title track will blow your mind.

END OF THE LIE
