Plastic Meat Losing It EP
Thrashy, fuzzy punk from Madrid that’s equal parts early ’80s-era California like the AVENGERS and rushed, spazzed-out pop à la DICKIES and BUZZCOCKS, the former reference not exclusively because the singer awesomely brings to mind Penelope Houston intuitions. The band lands in that fast, angular proto-punk sound that their fellow Spaniards and the Australians are doing so well right now. This is their second EP, burning through six songs in ten minutes, and just seems to be scratching the surface of what they’re up to.
