Nazi
Dust- Wretched Hour 12” review
Super noisy, mile-a-minute, grindy
hardcore punk, minimalistic in every way, from lyrics to sound to imagery. It’s simplistic and somehow modern in its
craft, despite being loosely based on music that’s thirty to forty years old;
it’s got an aura of mysterious guy hardcore and is indeed shrouded in mystery
regarding its origins and its plans as an entity. Youth Attack had a hand in getting this band
on the map, and is not unlike the bands that share that roster with them- let
that be a preliminary guide to what they sound like. Still, it is well-harnessed to project energy
of sonic and propagandic proportions (lyrics are short, stuttered, and
repeated- this is classic propaganda, be it good, bad, or indifferent). Grab a schizophrenic with anger problems off
the street, put him (or her) in front of a microphone, and give him/her a band
of kids who like angry and fast sounds, but don’t know much about playing
instruments- bam, you’ve got Nazi Dust and their latest offering, this
“Wretched Hour” one-sided 12”.
