More Info

Punk in its purest form, but no punk that any originator of the genre ever
imagined... One of the best bands in existence - LOUDER When they play, there
are no questions - ALTERNATIVE PRESSRemember that ashes always seem to
fnd a place and settle. Out of the ashes of old, Melt-Banana sizzle and scream,
slide and skitter, scratch and stitch, heralding a new wave. Melt-Banana are real.
They walk on water and effortlessly juggle all of those sharks nipping at their
heels, the ones that think they're swimming in new, unexplored territories. Here
are the imported children of no waves gone by, a hardcore-informed maelstrom of
experimental heart surgery - straight from the heart of Tokyo's ferocious
underground.
In short? Take all of the scrabbling atonal dissonance of no wave, bathe it in the
hysteria of hardcore, then rinse with the acceleration of speed metal. Repeat.
Musical guests include K.K. Null of Zeni Geva and Jim O'Rourke of Brise-Glace.
