Sakura Violencia flexi EP
The three-song Violencia flexi was created by four-piece Las Vegas band SAKURA, and it fucking rips! Drawing heavily upon the extensive sound catalog of Japanese hardcore, SAKURA melds noisy, terminal velocity punk into songs that immediately call to mind other things that rip, like RESIN’s 2021 Pot Overdose or DEAD CITY’s 2022 Banned from L.A. What I’m saying is that if you’re into that punk crudo that makes your inner ear feel like a kick drum, or when feedback sounds like an M-80 in a bowl of Rice Krispies, then you’re going to want to pick this one up.
