Description
JJ and the As release their debut 6 track EP and its a barrage of punk nuggets that explode out of the speaker. The treble is on full and the bass down low as the Danish/Barcelona powerpunk band unleash hell and fury. This is punk from the golden eras of the late 70s and early 80s and even a bit of early 90s from people who have been involved in hardcore scene for all of their adult lives. Its relentless and is an absolute fireball of speed and energy. Think a mix of Gorilla Angreb, Screamers, Spits, Rip Off Records and those classic Killed by Death 7s that now are worth thousands. Get your dancing shoes on and enjoy every last second of this gem that came out of nowhere. (Sean Forbes)
Our take: Blistering, hooky punk from this Copenhagen / Barcelona band on their debut 6-song 7. The labels description mentions the Spits and Rip Off Records and I hear that in the jittery 16th notes, but its tinny in an almost industrial way that makes me think of Metal Urbain or the Screamers. As important as the frantic rhythms and noisy textures are the hooky vocals, which are bathed in distortion but brimming with melody. I also love that there are six songs here… theyre in and out quickly, but cover a lot of range, from the bashing hardcore tracks like Show Me to the more tuneful Head in a Vat and the brooding The Shrew. Energy, hooks, distortion whats not to like?
