V/A The Locust / Melt Banana
Description
A split release of massive proportions, this new 7' pairs 2 of the most volatile and original bands to emerge from hardcore punk in the last 10 years. Tokyo's MELT BANANA (2 songs) should be familiar to anyone with a taste for the extreme, having released God-knows-how-many albums and singles on the likes of Skin Graft, Slap a Ham, A-Zap, HG Fact and others. THE LOCUST (5 songs) are virtually a household name these days - suffice it to say a lot of kids will be chomping at the bit to get their filthy paws on this. It's also the band's first release as a 4-piece and the difference is remarkable - the 'blastbeat' now more of a form of punctuation than the whole basis for a song. Full color artwork by Sam McPheeters (BORN AGAINST, MEN'S RECOVERY PROJECT) that will bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye. Colored vinyl.
