It sounds like these guys recorded pretty early on in their existence, since the drumming is way repetitious and the sound is primitive and sloppy. But as with many Swedish bands, the guitar is gnarly and the vocals are raw and powerful, which provides a glimpse of their future.
Mix some skunky melodies with abrasive Swedish thrash and you end up with the BRISTLES, who continue to produce high-powered potential mind bombs. Their latest tape release is a step up from their debut EP, all the way around. Storming out the maniac mayhem with blitzing guitar distortion and lots of boisterous activity, whether chanting or slowing down the speedy pace, this fires a full round of quaking thrash. “Don’t Care About Me” is a quick laugh riot.
This tape isn’t up to the quality of their Don’t Give Up EP, since it lacks a bit in the production power and the vocal choruses aren’t quite as tight. They do a strangely British form of thrash with lyrics in English and cool chants. A new EP is on the way.
