Yowza!!! This one's bangers! Not heard their first one-sided effort but this full-length outing is an absolute treat. Real fucking loud, Amphetamine Records/Skin Graft style brutal noise rock from ex-members of Coughs. I can't tell you which members though cause I don't know and it's not obvious from looking at the sleeve. The press release suggests that at this stage the Coughs reference is almost devoid of value but I disagree. This is very much in the same vein but they've just got rid of the industrial double drum assault and replaced it with a Weasel Walter style rampant noise-core drumming style. It brings to mind the most violently excellent moments from xBxRx but with a vocalist that sounds more like the Divorce singer... real fucking gruff and angry basically. So, don't need to elaborate any further really as this is a must have for anyone into ace noise-core shit like Arab on Radar, festival Of Dead Deer, Crimson Curse, Gay Beasts, PRE, xBxRx, The Flying Luttenbachers, all that good shit on Load, all that Rhode Island stuff and of course Coughs. Housed in an immaculate screen printed sleeve with shit brown with speckles of ganja green. This ones the pick of the week for me! Totally awesome.
The wax for Cacaw's "Cacaw" debut LP in an edition of 500 (green/brown vomit splatter) is here w/ hand-screened jackets! Here are the deets: Back in early 2009, Permanent issued Cacaw's debut "Get A Brain" EP and quickly sold through the first pressing of 300 copies. There was an immediate repress, which has also since sold out. Here we are just over a year and a half later, proudly offering Cacaw's follow-up eponymous LP, which has been pressed in a limited first edition of 500 copies. If you dug the brutal noise rock sounds crammed onto the one side of their debut EP, you're gonna flip over their brand new LP. It's heavier, louder, and longer. That's right, two full sides of Cacaw's signature noise rock brutality. A big selling point for their first release was the fact that two former members of the Coughs are in Cacaw, however, Cacaw have since garnered their own audience and the Coughs reference seems barely worth mentioning any longer. For those of you who haven't heard them yet, Cacaw takes the Coughs sound and distills it down to a more minimal yet no less intense brand of really fucking groovy noise rock. Cacaw have quickly become one of Chicago’s most popular underground rock bands. Fans who have witnessed their live shows always seem to be left begging for more.
