CONTORT - AN ISLAND OF NOISE IN AN ISLAND OF SILENCE TAPE

Contort - An Island Of Noise In An Island Of Silence
Dublin, 2010, Distroy Records/DIY, Tape

No way am I gonna write the description for this one! This is a band that I am delighted to have been involved with over the past year. This 8 track demo is now sold out, recorded on 4 track by J.Grimes in the Karate Club practice space, this is as noisy as noisy punk can be :) The following is taken from a description of the band by our good friend Jeri from Black Seeds Records (Malaysia). "Hailing from Dublin, Ireland. This cute yellow tape providing 8 tracks of wall of noise and chainsaw buzzing guitar! The vocal always reminds me of Taff from DISORDER. Opening tracks with slow intro and there you go, listener will having a earache if they got a chance to see them live. If you into GAI, CONFUSE, SWANKYS, GLOOM and old DISORDER you probably love this tape. Recorded using 4-track machine thats the way raw noise punk should be done."
