This disc is fuckin' titanic...one of a couple of discs and records I just scored off of the Canadian label Divorce Records, Vision Correction is
the first full length album from Be Bad, a gang of scum-core/free jazz addled miscreants from Halifax, Nova Scotia, bellowing forth with eight tracks of
bruising riffage, cathartic howling and a tendency towards free noise that puts these guys in a class of their own. I'm definitely hearing some of that post
-millenial Am Rep noise rock skronk in these jams, a little Black Flag soaked in toxic waste and left to sprout into a psychedelic freakout beast, with lotsa
tough as nails hooks smothered in distortion and frantic guitar noise, pummeling rhythms that seem to be coming from multiple drumkits at once, and dark,
grasy vibes, but with some real nasty FX abuse painting everything in sicko acid hues. Then "Battledick" kicks in and you're suddenly swept up in a wave of
crushing improvised hypno-sludge riffage and sheets of black guitar drone stretching out across the night sky, incomprehensible maniacal vocals and what
might be a theremin spewing cosmic dread across an 8-minute motorik jam of monstrous proportions. Tough stuff. And as if that wasn't enough to rank this one
a top-shelf dose of psychedelic hardcore, they close it out with the quick n' catchy as fuck indie sludge-freakout anthem "(I've Got No) Positive
Vibrations"...that song is awesome. Fans of that drug-trip skuzzcore vibe that bands like Snake Apartment and Violent Students are pushing lately should be
checking Be Bad out post-haste, although these dudes are definitely doing their own take. Comes with killer lysergic artwork dished out in a metallic silver
-on-black package.
