DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Like a lot of the stuff that I've picked up from the Iron Lung Records label, this is another band that features hardcore workaholic Jensen Ward from Seattle powerviolence duo Iron Lung (as well as Walls, Pig Heart Transplant, Dead Language, and who knows how many other bands that I'm forgetting at the moment); this is another Seattle area band, but you coulda told me that Society Nurse were some long-lost backwoods hardcore band from somewhere outside of Chicago circa 1985 and I might've bought it, they've got that Midwestern psychotic, noise-damaged thrash sound down pat, spewing out ten short compact blasts of skronk-infested speed damage cross both sides of this record, laced with eerie leads and GOBS of noise and feedback. I fucking love this stuff, the singer's got this fantastic shredded yowl that sounds absolutely murderous, snarling through the negative, nihilistic lyrics while the band slams through these short bursts of ugly, deformed, psychotic sounding hardcore punk, the bass guitar blown all to hell, the guitarist clawing at his strings and strangling his axe till it howls, issuing some wicked Greg Ginn-esque solos that whiplash wildly all over the 100 mile per hour tempos and angular riffs. They've got this tendency to collapse into these weird noisy breakdowns where everything just sort of crumbles into bouts of string-scraping racket and hissing amplifier snot for a minute, then suddenly explodes back into the violent thrash, only occasionally veeing into one of their slower, crushing breakdowns. It's all puked up on this 12" with zero polish, the whole feel of the thing echoing the crazed off-kilter hardcore of bands like United Mutation, Void, Die Kreuzen and Mecht Mensch without coming across like some retro worship deal (not that I'd turn my nose up at any band mining that particular set of influences, mind you), instead channeling a similar sort of frantic noisy ferocity into something way uglier and more "left field". Fans of the Iron Lung Recs aesthetic probably already have their fingers fluttering over the "add to cart" button for this thing (especially considering that it's released in a one-time pressing of seven hundred copies), but anybody into violent, angular hardcore are well advised to check this monster out. The strange, hallucinatrory pen and ink drawings that adorn the cover (courtesy of Matt Adis from Salvation) only adds to the fractured mental state of this record. Highly recommended. © CRUCIAL BLAST
