Punk in its purest form, but no punk that any originator of the genre ever imagined... One of the best bands in existence - LOUDER When they play, there are no questions - ALTERNATIVE PRESS Remember that ashes always seem to find a place and settle. Out of the ashes of old, Melt-Banana sizzle and scream, slide and skitter, scratch and stitch, heralding a new wave. Melt-Banana are real. They walk on water and effortlessly juggle all of those sharks nipping at their heels, the ones that think they're swimming in new, unexplored territories. Here are the imported children of no waves gone by, a hardcore-informed maelstrom of experimental heart surgery - straight from the heart of Tokyo's ferocious underground.
In short? Take all of the scrabbling atonal dissonance of no wave, bathe it in the hysteria of hardcore, then rinse with the acceleration of speed metal. Repeat. Musical guests include K.K. Null of Zeni Geva and Jim O'Rourke of Brise-Glace.
