Lack of Interest Bitter About Life in General 5xCD boxset
A slick five-CD collection of crucial L.A. powerviolence outfit LACK OF INTEREST’s discography spanning 1993 to 2013. Across two LPs and various splits and comp features, LACK OF INTEREST showcases ultra-fast, violent playing that is evenly matched by the uniquely over-the-top barked vocals that are a hallmark of the band’s sound. In addition to the influence of early powerviolence bands like INFEST and CROSSED OUT, there’s definitely some ’80s Midwestern hardcore like NEGATIVE APPROACH (their cover of “Pressure” is included here) informing the band’s earlier style. And while some evolution can be heard over the course of the band’s output, they never lose any of their feral energy. Very cool set worth checking out; includes a booklet with lyrics and photos.
