Dolent Dolent cassette
DOLENT is a newly formed Valencian punk band that is producing blistering, grimy, and toothsome throwback hardcore. No information could be found on my end as to previous bands or projects from the current members, which adds to the ambushed effect that this body of tracks hurls. Ten songs total, and it’s a no-skip situation through the whole bleedin’ thing, with “Avail Els Murs” (“Avail the Walls”), “Punks De Tendencia” (“Trendy Punks”), and the operatic-laced “Noves Glories” (“New Glories”) being my darlings of the pack. It is also worth noting that this cassette is from the brilliant minds at Flexidiscos, whose roster is a perpetually enriching discovery for me…thank you!
