Cicada Something Else flexi EP
For the first time since 1803, two distinct broods of periodical cicadas emerged during the same season this year. Trillions of these noisy bugs dotted the Midwest and Southeast US over the past couple of months, emitting a maddening, high-pitched buzz while engaging in a mating frenzy before littering landscapes with their discarded carcasses—a shameful, disgusting, and carnal affair. As it turns out, a third horde of nasty CICADA has been discovered, and it’s these ripping gents from Richmond. With haggard growls commanding whipping fits of catchy, menacing hardcore, this flexi presents three snappy tracks in less than four minutes. With any luck, we’ll hear more of this much sooner than the next expected invasion of the band’s namesake pests (they won’t be back until 2037).
