This is music that feels like a physical confrontation. It is fast, jagged, and deeply unconcerned with traditional song structures. Instead of verses and choruses, you get frantic bursts of energy that rarely last longer than a minute, punctuated by sudden stops that leave your ears ringing in the vacuum. It is the sound of a band playing as if the room is about to be raided.
What sets this apart is the 'stop and switch' dynamic. It is not just a wall of noise; it is a calculated series of rhythmic collapses and reinventions. The guitars are thin and biting, the drums are a relentless assault of blast beats, and the vocals are a desperate, throat-shredding howl that feels like it’s being recorded through a failing microphone.
Start with 'Pleasureland' if you want to experience the full breadth of their volatility. It is a concentrated dose of Albuquerque punk history that serves as a perfect entry point for anyone who finds beauty in controlled sonic wreckage.
