Description
Debut vinyl release from this NY punk band.
Our take: After an excellent demo back in 2017, we get the debut vinyl from New Yorks Pobreza Mental. Im glad this one stayed in the percolator for a while, because it displays a notable amount of range across its five tracks. I hear some of the off-kilter rhythms of contemporary Spanish punk bands like Una Bestia Incontrolable, a lot of the wild sounds of early South American hardcore, and some catchy UK82-style riffs. While some moments sound primitive, others like the inventive drumbeat in Tormenta and the ripping guitar solo startingNowhere to Go are more ambitious. While Ya No Me Pertenezco isunpretentious in its delivery, this is a record packed with surprising twists and turns. And, as per usual with Toxic State, the gritty recording, beautiful artwork, and handmade packaging are all 100% on point.
