Slovenly US レコード& CD

Review: While the last time we heard from Midnight Snaxxx was the 2019 LP Music Inside, a record critics rightly-lauded for its relative breadth and diversity, here the Oakland, California group deliver two tracks of pure adrenacol-powered punk rock that has one foot in the gutter and another on stage at a packed, sweaty gig. If you can remember what those are by now.

Opening on 'Contact Contamination', a staccato, raucous stomp-off that explodes into screeched choruses backed by manic drum and cymbal combinations, it sounds like blue murder just arrived at the bar for that money you owe. 'Fight Back' takes a lead from that, then goes even further, quickly hitting a furious pace that's only interrupted by the occasional percussive breakdown, helping recharge before the next onslaught.
