Torx Torx cassette
With their crypto-exchange-ass band name and a visual aesthetic cribbed straight from some bottom-of-the-barrel egg-punk act, this Leipzig trio is just absolutely begging you to ignore their shit. Which is a shame, really, because this cassette is pretty alright! It’s nine tracks of minimal, jazzy art-punk—imagine MINUTEMEN playing a mix of GANG OF FOUR and YOUNG MARBLE GIANTS, but fronted by a vocalist who sounds like Richard Hell doing an impression of David Byrne. When they keep things crisp or punky, it’s great. But when they veer into post-hardcore territory, it starts sounding like CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH. Worth a listen!
