A short one today about this cool demo hailing from the Australian state
of Victoria. Ugly World Amusement Park is Shane and
Nick, two friends who most probably played in other bands before
that (but I could not find any information about them). Nick is
also a visual artist and he is responsible for the super cool artwork of
this demo cover, I absolutely love it. UWAP, as the cool kids say,
is therefore a duo studio project (except if they wanna play live with no
bass and one guitar only but I would not advise it), the kind of project I
can strongly relate to as I'm involved in something similar called
Guimauve (some more tunes coming soon!).
Ok so this demo features five fast hardcore punk absolute rippers! It's fast, it's angry, it's straight forward, it sounds exactly like it should: it's perfect!
Strongly influenced by 80s US hardcore, UWAP songs are mostly made of fast parts but also got some heavier parts (on Gut Oil most notably), mix the whole thing with very snotty (sometimes even a bit "trashy") punk vocals and you obtain a killer result reminiscent of the best bands from the current Kansas City scene like D.Y.E or Loss Prevention... which are influenced by the whole No Way Records era... which was strongly influenced by ripping fast 80s Midwest and Cali (among others) hardcore punk bands like The Necros, The Fix etc... you know the deal. And to not limit my name-dropping to the almighty United States of America I can also think of Akne from the UK or of a "lighter" version of Scab Eater from 'stralia.
But as we're talking of a duo studio project I guess that one of the most accurate comparison would be with Courtroom Sketches (check out their super cool tape).
Well anyway it is pointless to lose more time to ramble unnecessarily, you got the point, this is a killer demo so turn up the volume and blast your eardrums!
N,J'Oi!
