Iowa Beef Experience The First Killing Gang EP

IOWA BEEF EXPERIENCE utilize mid-tempo HC and a gritty guitar approach to anchor a fairly generic set of songs on this EP. Energy is high, but originality in songwriting seems to be largely absent. Powerful sound, though.

Stickdog Stickdog LP

An unexpected pleasure, this debut vents out a demented, ugly vertigo that uses LIVE SKULL and RAT AT RAT R as a starting point but along the way still spits out an excited hardcore industrial din.

Suburban Death Trip Psychodelic Discore LP

Distinctive, nasal vocal meld with a gritty instrumental sound not unlike a cross between BLACK FLAG and traditional fast-and-loud HC. The result is unique and effective a fair proportion of the time, though consistency isn’t S.D.T.’s strong suit. Aggressive and loud.
