Rehash Neu Klang War Crimes & Love Songs 12″
Mangel, hosting the likes of ONYON, KLAPPER, and an early EP from LIIEK, surely has its finger on the pulse, and REHASH NEU KLANG is no exception. Formerly known simply as REHASH, these young punks from Antwerp bring us their second EP, War Crimes & Love Songs. I hear late ’70s rock’n’roll-steeped punk, something on the upbeat side like the SAINTS or MAGAZINE, with more of a post-punk guitar sound like you might hear from WIRE. There’s moments of uptempo jitteriness, other moments of slower reflection, but it all drives along powerfully, keeping you hooked throughout the six tracks. Check out “Kriegslust” for a good taste. Definitely recommend this one.
