Malinformants Central Location cassette
Politically-driven punk rock from somewhere in California. The range of song topics on this seven-song cassette seems to all be about rising rent, gentrification, poverty, and issues within the American political system. Those are undeniably things that suck. Musically, this sounds kind of like a street punk band whose vocalist has a similar barking vocal style to that of UNIFORM CHOICE, but with about half the range. There are notes of other sub-genres peppered in within the course of this cassette, including somewhat predictable modern hardcore and melodic pop punk; the latter is especially noticeable when the backing vocalist joins in the chants. A very clean, discernible, slick recording which you wouldn’t necessarily expect from a band’s debut tape.
