Fantastic debut single from this Philly band released via Richie Penetrator's Richie Records/ Testostertunes imprint. Reminds me of what a better recorded Homostupids offering could sound like on "Meat" (not that this is a high fidelity job in the slightest either), mating garage-punk and hardcore for one of the tastier songs I've heard since the New Year. Wicked solo and a real bouncy and tight rhythm with nasty vox. "Normal Citizen" is deconstructed cyborg-punk like shit, with dual vocals from one dude with a fresh tracheotomy and the other in retardo-warble style, heavy and electronic, and "Ugly" keeps the same vibe, remiscent of a less irritating latter-day Functional Blackouts-like moment. Drum sound mixes the real shit with some machine beats and there's plenty of static and echo to go around. "Robot" is drone-dirge tomfoolery with stream-of-consciousness rambling. Really like this one a lot, visceral thrills backed up with some offbeat tricks and an overall sense of mechanical menace while still sounding pretty loose. Want more. Great insert too.
