Description
Our take: Paprikas first cassette came out on Iron Lung, but this new tape is the first release on a new label called Chaos and Chill, released for Paprikas recent tour. I was a big fan of Paprikas first tape, and Smoked rips too. While Paprika sounds like a hardcore band of the 2020s, the elements of their sound come together in a way that doesnt sound like anyone else. Their riffs are nimble and catchy, but the guitar tone is a biting and mid-range-y, more like a death metal tone than a typical hardcore punk sound. The vocalist has a snotty bark that commands the room, but I think Paprikas secret weapon is how they arrange their songs. Theyre full of catchy stops and starts and dynamic accents that keep the energy level sky-high. After three originals, they finish up with a cover of the Buzzcocks You Tear Me Up, known to nerds the world over as the first d-beat song. Excellent stuff.
