N.E.O. N.E.O. 12″

Hailing from the frigid northern reaches of Finland, N.E.O. channels the raw, untamed spirit of being punk into a musical maelstrom that’s both exhilarating and cathartic. Their blistering guitar riffs, thunderous rhythms, and relentless vocal delivery (which is something that is very much a Finnish punk signature) coalesce into an uncompromising sonic assault. I don’t understand Finnish, but singer Jossu sounds pissed-off as hell! Recorded by Ville Valavuo from KOHTI TUHOA and YLEISET SYYT, one might even draw some comparisons between N.E.O. and these bands. A defiant middle finger to the ears, and a testament to unadulterated hardcore. Expect mosh pits erupting and fists pumping.
