prank. 033 / 10 tracks / 1999

+ lyric booklet.

First LP by this amazing band from South Carolina; a crazy, eclectic blend of ultrafast grindcore, Nomeansno-style complexity, gloomy/melodic hardcore, crust­core and a few other genres. By no means a brains-only art project, though, despite all the sophistication the music is still wild, powerful and aggressive. Excellent. [9]

Erste LP der genialen Band aus South Carolina. Eine irrwitzige, extrem vielseitige Mischung aus ultraschnellem Grindcore, Nomeansno-Komplexität, düster-melodi­schem Hardcore, Crustcore und einigen anderen Genres. Trotz aller Ausgefeiltheit definitiv nicht verkopft oder abgehoben, sondern immer wild, kraftvoll und aggressiv. Super.

Tracks: something about smashism / rip your heart out / cliche culture / speak softly / the red sea / fairweather jonestown / crummy life / the kids are pissed / papertrail / protect the fear
