[DESCRIPTION]
DESCRIPTION:
It sucks when a band ends in tragedy, but thats what happened with the Richmond, Virginia noise rock band Tigershark when their drummer was found dead beneath a bridge at the age of 26 in 207. The band called it quits, but we were left with a couple of records from Tigershark that captured their too-brief existence in a burst of energy, two splits with bands that Tigershark were friends with in the RVA punk scene that noise rock fans should really check out.
This split 10" with Thank God is a blast of fierce, brutal Dixie noise punk from both bands, released through the same label that has brought us the excellent September Songs LP from Souvenirs Young America and the Marianas Trench EP from The Catalyst. Tigershark's side is three songs of furious noisy post-hardcore, totally ass kicking and thrashing, mixing together burly Am Rep distorto riffs and crazy complex math rock and heavy, impassioned hardcore. The songs go from sludgy, angular heaviness to pensive guitar arpeggios, with hoarse vocals screamed at the top of their lungs, intricate bits of Slinty instrumental mathiness, chaotic heavy riffage, super heavy drumming, moody little melodies and hypnotic grooves appearing through the burly crush. I love this sort of Am Rep influence filtered through a fierce DIY hardcore energy, sometimes reminiscent of a heavier, more frantic Drive Like Jehu. Really cool, really manic, and you should check these guys out if your into stuff like Akimbo, Black Elk, and Forensics.
Thank God are a perfect match for Tigersharks heavy, crushing angularity. The South Carolina band features members of the legendary anarcho-punk band Antischism and screamo weirdos Guyana Punch Line, and their side of this 10" serves up three songs of brutal chaotic hardcore with some really quirky riffs and vocals that remind me of that old Gravity sound. Their guitars go from eerie atmospheric chords to dense tangles of angular hardcore thrash, drums blast and stutter, and it feels like OG screamo, the real stuff, up through the quiet mathy interlude in the middle. The vocals are cool too, violently trading off between frantic, rabid screams and a haunting croon.
Furious, frentic heaviness from both bands, presented in a limited edition 10" on thick black vinyl, and packaged in a silkscreened chipboard jacket with a full color insert.
