Dust Collector Dust Collector LP
Upon first listen, this L.A. band resembles classic blown-out noise punk bands like DISORDER and the SWANKYS with a relentless drum cadence and ultra-distorted guitar tone. After a track or two, it clicks that this noise isn’t blown-out at all and actually has crystal-clear production that highlights every turbo bass riff and static-sheet classic punk/hard rock/pogo chord change. The vocals are of the right-about-to-vomit school and make for a band that is undeniably heavy and abrasive, but also fast and catchy. “Rawkin” sounds like LEBENDEN TOTEN covering the RAMONES, while songs like “Scalpel Life” and “Unholy Knife” could bring fans of DISCHARGE and BATHORY together in the pit. Raw hardcore for everyone. And check out the wild artwork – it’s like little demons jumped off a Chips & Beer cover to drag everyone’s favorite billionaire rodent out of copyright protection.
