Description
Gnarly, raging fast D-beat from NYC. Members of Urchin, Twisted Thing, etc.
Our take: Teaser release from New Yorks Fairytale; the back of the sleeve says to expect a 5-song EP soon, but its not clear whether these two tracks will reappear there. Regardless, this is some raging, primitive d-beat. Its clear that Fairytale takes a lot of inspiration from the 2nd and 3rd Anti-Cimex 7s and the Shitlickers 7, and while those arent uncommon influences, Fairytale makes it work. The sound is raw and very analog, constantly veering into the red, and while the riffs and rhythms are straightforward, theres something about them that sounds classic rather than derivative. The only complaint I have about this EP is that its so short, but I can confirm it retains its impact through repeated plays. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy, just pure d-beat hardcore done exactly right.
