Hell yeah, this LP unloads some supremely mangled hardcore from a Brooklyn trio called Drunkdriver - another awesome band name, by the way - and it's more of that severely anti-social, blown-out thrash-fug that we've been hearing from Parts Unknown and bands like Pissed Jeans, Violent Students, and Snake Apt. Fuck, Drunkdriver might be one of the noisiest of the bunch. The band is based around a basic lineup of drums, guitar and vocals, and guitarist Kristy Greene sounds like her riffs are being crapped out of a chain of broken Gorilla amps, half hardcore punk riffage and half noxious feedback splurt, super distorted and shitty sounding, strewn over the herky-jerky drumming like viscera covered in dirt and gravel. Awesome! This record is so distorted and gnarly sounding that my needle can barely take it, the whole sound is fully in the red and blown out, utterly gnarly and gross sounding, but holy shit does this rock, too! Nine songs of nihilistic hardcore primitivism with songs like "Secret Eater" and "Sick Kid" and "Dick In A Mousetrap", primtive riffs jammed through torrents of shrieking speaker hum and garbled distortion, ugly noise-soaked anthems that sound like an old 80's hardcore band being filtered through the pure noise-vomit violence of early Ramleh. Actually, I think that might have been how I also described that Total Abuse CD that we listed a few weeks ago, and there are definitely some similiarities between the sludgier, Flipper-ized songs on the Total Abuse disc and this stuff. Drunkdriver don't really speed their songs up though. Each jam just plods along through a cloud of failure and noise and simple two chord riffs. Man, if you love Brainbombs and Cherubs and Violent Students, you'll adore this slab of grime. Los Angeles punk fans might recognize drummer Jeremy Villalobos from his previous band, Wives, whose other members went on to become No Age. This record KILLS.
