Putrid Boys: Tape #1 cassette
First release by this band out of Richmond, VA.
Our take: Fast, dark, and psychedelic hardcore from this Richmond band on their first tape, whose seven tracks (in eight minutes) could probably pass as an unheard United Mutation recording. The vocals are similar—a proto-death metal throaty gurgle—as is the way the music darts in unexpected directions. Putrid Boys also remind me of creepy 80s Japanese hardcore like the Execute, Zouo, Mobs, etc. The recording is warm and live, lo-fi in a way that helps you imagine this is a lost 80s artifact. As those comparisons might lead you to believe, it’s killer. It’s very limited too, so don’t sleep.
