Ratstab-
Noise War tape review
D-beat raw punk with a bit of a
snotty Germs-ish singer. Everything
sounds so blown out, even the bass (which is the best sounding instrument in
this band), and it makes this difficult to listen to- nothing is distinct or
even sounds like it was tracked separately.
If it was, they did a hell of a job blending it together to create a
wall-of-sound aura with a screaming idiot (as all punk singers are) over top it
all. It is indeed noisy- it’s very
stripped down and simple, not great not bad.
It’s your friend’s band who is not your ideal opening group at a show,
but they’re always available, reliable, polite, and supportive. Maybe that’s what a scene is supposed to
consist of, even if the bands aren’t great.
This is still better than a band who virulently rips off ONLY Hatebreed
and Madball and hollers at the crowd “Why don’t you fucking pussies mosh!?”
