The Tits: Great Punk Tits 12″

Description

Hardcore Noise Punk from Tokyo! This is a collection of their highly sought after 7″s, flexi and lp from 2017-2019.

Our take: Compilation LP and first US release from this Japanese noise-punk band who recently toured the US. I hadnt heard of them before the tour, and when I looked them up on Discogs, it surprised me to find how extensive their discography is, with severaldemos, 7s and flexis, and an LP. There isnt much info on Great Punk Tits, so Im not sure what comes from where, but you can hear some progression across its sixteen tracks. While you could describe everything on this LPas noise-punk, the earlier tracks have more of a traditional Japanese hardcore sound a la the Execute or early Lip Cream. As you get further into side 1, the Tits get crazier and more unhinged, moving more toward a sound that reminds me of Indignation-era Confuse or Creation and Destroy-era D-Clone. With powerful production, great dynamics in the arrangements, and a noteworthy vocalist, the Tits are worthy of those lofty comparisons. Despite their tour, I havent heard a ton of hype about the Tits, but Id put this up there with Physique and Extended Hell as some of the best raw hardcore Ive heard this year. Highly recommended.
