This thrash happy London band deal in a ferocious brand of Spanish language euro-crust that will appeal to fans of Destino Final and Crazy Spirit. Strangely, their demo got me thinking about Jean Paul Sartre’s famous assertion that he “never felt so free” as when he was fighting in the French Resistance living under the jackboot of Nazi occupation. Crust Punk has often invoked resistance inspired imagery; raging against war and injustice, church and state. But on this one there’s a rare sense of joy that bleeds through the screams, scathing riffs and wild breakneck drumming.
Outside of hardcore, much of the last few years worth of punk and indie rock has been all but dominated by jingle jangle guitars and fey songwriting. So I guess in retrospect it was only a matter of time until more bands like Workin’ Man Noise Unit would start raising their ugly ugly ugly ugly heads. The London band’s current demo “Drinkin’ Stella to Make Music to Drink Stella to” channels classic AmRep style noise rock like a possessed spirit medium vomiting fluorescent jacketed bile over her unsuspecting séance guests.
