Fuckin’ Lovers Crucifixion of the Masses EP
Brain-rattling noise from Philly’s FUCKIN’ LOVERS, whose namesake (a song by noise-punk legends CONFUSE) tells you what you need to know about their sound on Crucifixion of the Masses. Snotty, hectic, and with a touch of psychedelia thrown in, it’s a heady brew and burrows deeper into your skull with each listen. The dual vocals, nasty guitar and bass, and crashing drums peak on the raw blast of standout “Arrogance.” Also of note is final track “The End,” an effects-laden, out-there instrumental that sounds like four walls of noise slowly closing in on you. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds. Great band, great EP, highly recommended.
