Z-Pak 15 Minutes With Z-Pak cassette
This rules. Second tape from Philly punks that delivers weirdo hardcore of the highest order. Z-PAK sounds like Doc Dart of the CRUCIFUCKS fronting SACCHARINE TRUST on speed. The shrill, frenzied vocals pierce the fast punk, and we even get some BLACK FLAG-style atonal soloing on “Jaws of Life.” On “Whiplash,” vocalist Alex’s voice cracks through the octaves like MARIAH CAREY going through puberty. Unhinged and exciting, this is a band that is probably best taken in fifteen-minute doses, repeated a few times a day.
