Have you ever seen a pig in sexual ecstasy? I’m talking the animal here – not the enforcers of the capitalist state. Pigs, when they reach sexual climax, can cum for up to 30 minutes. Wild eh? Imagine that. You probably can’t, unless you’re on some tantric trip. Well, here’s a compromise from Crew Cuts for ya – the SUSPECT demo for the first time on wax. Hardcore punk of the early 80s variety from Germany. They got the hardcore bop and stomp of Negative Approach blended up with the same kind of poppy chaos that makes early Angel Dust a real blast to listen to. The weirdo edge they’ve got going doesn’t seem intentional but maybe they can’t help it. There’s something about a pumping drum beat and juicy bassline walking about all over the fret board while the song is choppin’ and changin’ about between fat breakdowns and straight up fury, while the singer rages about cops, big business, and people that they feel have done them wrong that really strongly suggests street corner maniac “WEIRDO”. But I tell ya what – you might not experience 30 minutes of straight up cumming-like-a-pig when you hear this record but the 7 minutes of hardcore punk offered by SUSPECT might be the closest any of us get in 2022. Pressed on pink vinyl.
