Maine hybrid punx empowered by the Bastard violence, makes you wonder how no band already made claims of instant ejaculation upon Alexander James Murphy's cold, metallic touch, how no non-cyborg organically dreamt up Burroughs-style phallic flesh-guns, machine-gun-hands, the morning shaving ritual resulting with resistors & transistors on the rusty yet self-aware razor, pre- or post- Verhoeven or, uh, Shinya Tsukamoto. Anyone the least familiar with my person is also familiar with my powerless, ambivalent cyberpunk fetish, hence I cannot claim disinterest in Ryan Page's projections of allegedly rational, yet irrationally steamy sounds. Robocop is powerviolence done the old school way, but their trudgin' sludge - nervous, coarse punk juxtaposition echoes off of skyscraper windows and the blind, alienating surge of technology, despite the classic inside jokes ever-present in this vague genre.

You can get the demo here, but I also ought to mention how Randall (ANb) picked 'em up, "put out" their Robocop II full-length effort free for download over at Grindcore Karaoke + Childer's kickass review skills at Grind & Punishment.

  4. This is GOOOOOD!

    Blown away at first listen. More in your face than the album which I'll need more time to grasp.

    Thumbs up for Randall and Grindcore Karaoke, he should add 'donate' button or something to the site though.

    And thumbs up for the two of you, raising the grindcore blogging bar ;) No joke
