Kowloon Walled City
Kowloon Walled City features some of my best and most talented interwebz buddies, but that is not the only reason that you should pick up the new vinyl. If you enjoy crushing, massive hardcore that you can still shake your ass to, you need to have a listen.
The San Francisco four-piece - Scott Evans on guitar/vox, drummer Jeff Fagundes, bassist Ian Miller, and guitarist Jason Pace - are like one giant rhythm section, pummeling listeners with drop-tuned impunity. For a year now, they've stirred up a sludge that owes as much to the Bay Area's past as it does to AmRep's glory days, garnering comparisons to The Melvins, Neurosis, and Unsane.
The Turk Street EP can be picked up here in vinyl or CD format.
