Description
“Chicago is a violent place violence that is both immediate and implied and Blystex are a product of that violence. Their first statement, Nasty Licks, is not a cute recording; its not playful or fun. Nasty Licks is six stompers of primal proto-hardcore beats behind guitars that sound like a bite to the windpipe. The lyrics paint Chicago as a jungle and cast scenes about predators and prey.
To be young in Chicago is be watched and scrutinized, but to be young, a woman, and an immigrant is to be more than watched, its to be hunted to be stalked by beasts hiding at the end of the block. These are not revolution songs; these are songs of affirmation and declarations of resilience while fighting through the brush because while Blystex declare I am not an animal! they are hunted just the same.”
