Fake
Asian Rolex- 74K34514NR013X EP tape review
This French hardcore band is a mix
of a noise and wall-of-sound punk, using very simplistic but loud and powerful
guitar tones. The vocals are screechy,
high-pitched shrieks that don’t seem to follow any contingent rhythm- it’s
atypical for hardcore, no doubt.
However, there is still a subtle method to Fake Asian Rolex’s
madness. There’s a spooky guitar tone
whenever a lead is to be found, though that is uncommon. No lyric sheet here, and given how dissonant
and cacophonic the music is, I am hard-pressed to decipher what the band is
singing about, aside from the song titles, which are largely nonsensical to
begin with. I do find humor in the last
song on side B- something about the opening riff of the song being stolen from
a moderately famous band. For those who
like their music shitty or their noise high quality- this darts back and forth
across that noise/music border like heart monitor.
