Class Act Malaise LP
CLASS ACT from Kansas City follows their debut tape with Malaise, a grimy and offbeat LP that toggles from full-speed West Coast-style hardcore punk to lumbering mid-tempo noise rock. There’s offbeat, angular guitar work, some instrumental interludes, and vocals that gleefully rant and rave throughout. It’s a frantic and at times chaotic listen; fans of MINUTEMEN and SACCHARINE TRUST will find lots to love here.
