Manchester Punk Festival Issues 40th Name Your Price Compilation
Manchester Punk Festival have released the 40th volume of their name your price compilation series via Bandcamp ahead of this year’s…
In the sticky-floored underbelly of Washington DC, where the amps buzz louder than the city’s bullshit, Sexfaces have been brewing something gnarly. Their debut full-length, Bad Vibes OST, is a full-noise, zero fluff slab of punked-up nihilism that is out now via Slovenly Records. This eleven track dose of chaotic energy is the sound of a band that knows exactly what it’s doing, and doesn’t care if you like it or not. Accompanying the release is a jagged, visually striking video that channels the same raw urgency and no-frills defiance that fuels the record.
Sexfaces ain’t here to play nice. Jacky Cougar (Des Demonas / Thee Lolitas) pounds the drums like they owe him money, while Sal Go (Stop Worrying & Love the Bomb / The NVs) saws through the noise with guitar that’s equal parts bratty and brutal. Hana Racecar (Tadzio / Coven Tree) layers in viola with a sneering elegance, and FiFi Allin (TK Echo / Et At It) slings basslines that punch and swerve. Together, they churn out a sound that drags the droney madness of the Velvet Underground through the gutter, filters it through The Fall‘s acerbic wit, and ties it all together with the punk attack of The Damned and the scuzzy swagger of Royal Trux.
