Joro Path: Golden Lines cassette
Hardcore punk from Athens inspired by mid-'80s Japanese bands
Our take: Total Recall Recordings, a new label from Athens, Georgia, taps hometown talent for their first pair of releases, including this 4-song weirdo ripper from Joro Path. Like the Death Rites demo I also wrote about this week, Golden Lines is bathed in the aesthetic of 80s Japan. I like that while Joro Path likes the hard stuff—your Mobs, Zouo, Execute, etc.—they also embrace the left-of-center quality many of those groups had, just totally nailing the vibe of “obscure flexi from 1985.” Maybe you need an appreciation of that stuff to understand where Joro Path is coming from, but as someone who has a very healthy appreciation for that sound, I think this totally rules.
