Whipping boy

Another purchase from Missing Link. The debut cassette by Brisbane based weirdos Multiple Man. Put out by Major Crimes records in 2013. The label dubs them "primitive future punk, poisoned new wave" .

Can't remember where i first heard these cats but i really dig this release. Slow dirgey synth numbers (Whipping Boy) share space with more upbeat songs (Photo Arrays). Reminds me of the excellent Tough Troubles, whose 2010 album "Illnesses" blew me away. Really like the Westworld/Factory Records style artwork of this release. Much as i hate to reiterate what other people have said, for an accurate description of where their sound lies Major Crimes pegs them as "for fans of Tubeway Army, Chrome and Caberet Voltaire" which i definitely agree with. Especially the Chrome comparison.

Listen here.

"This won't hurt a bit..."

Picked up the Nazi Dentist demo tape from Delayed Response a few weeks back. This is from the first run of 50. I don't know whats going on over there but the Brisbane scene has been killing it recently with Nazi Dentist joining the ranks of bands to watch alongside Last Chaos (see previous post), Sick People and Heroin SS.

Nazi Dentist play a tough style of straight ahead hardcore with dual female/male vocals. I particularly like her parts, really agressive. She sounds like she is going to knife anyone who comes near. None of the tracks are named instead being identified by roman numerals. Track VI stands out for me, hitting a good mix of dirgey mosh parts and typical hardcore speed.

A second run has been released which you can pick up from either the band or Delayed Response. You can download it here but i highly recommend you pick this one up. A band to keep an eye on.
