Hehe I'm happy! my favorite Aussie label (Helta Skelta Records named after the almighty
Perth band of the same name) is back with the debut demo of a brand new band made of people from my
favorite punk crowd in the country: the Perth/WA punk scene!
Hell yeah it didn't take me long to recognize the voice of Ashley
Ack who's been singing and screaming in the great
Cold Meat (check out
their 7"s
and
their last year LP
if you haven't yet) but also in
the Debbie Downers
and in
Plastic Bags
before that.
This time she's teamed up with ladies from bands leaning on the post-punk
/ new wave side like
Nerve Quakes,
Product
and
Body Type
(And Helta Skelta also?), so some people have moved to the
thrilling state of Western Australia recently!
Anyway ASH IS BACK!
There're only two tracks available on their bandcamp page for now on so
let's take it as an appetizer before the official release of the tape on
the 15th of November.
Described as being influenced by early punk bands like the
Raincoats and classic post-punk / new-wave bands like Au Pairs and
Pylon I have to admit that Krimi sounds a lot less
in-your-fucking-face than Cold Meat for example but it doesn't
sound like soft new wave either!
Dressed For Distress got a strong early Bristish (anarcho?) punk
vibe, recalling immediately bands like
Faction,
Honey Bane
or more recently some of Rosie Davis' songs featured on
her 2020 12". I'm a lot more into anarcho punk than new wave so I guess that the
bells it rings for me. A great song anyway no matter which way you look at
it.
Friction adopts a more classic punk pace that takes us back closer
to Ashley's previous bands (and I'm not complaining!) but with some
slower parts (guitar solos/bridges?) which got that nice early
Pylon-esque vibe the label was talking about...
Two great tracks as an introduction to Krimi's demo: a very promising
teaser!
You can listen to Krimi on Rien à Faire #28.
