M80 (slang or firework?) is a new band from Oakland, California, playing some kind of 80s female fronted american punk. Not much informtion about them.
Just before their january south california tour, M80 released Apathy, a 5-track demo tape. The band is delivering some classic, but catchy, snotty punk rock you immediatly find familiar without being able to name any band it would be a copy cat of...
With fast-but-not-too-much songs, a very "crammed" guitar sound (à la Mudhoney) a bit unusual in this kind of punk and a very teenage-like female singing, M80 does not completely go by the book while respecting all the codes... and creates this mixed feeling of home safety in a newly discovered place.
Out of these 5 songs M80 and Void are the two with a clear hardcore vibe and I can see the band going to a more classic female-fronted punk hardcore direction as many bands did for the last few years.
In a nutshell it's a classic but enjoyable demo for a band that you should check out live!
M80 is on Rien à Faire #11
