|| GRAPTHAR'S SONG OF THE DAY: THE EX "FRENZY" ||
I just discovered this band this week, despite them being pretty well-known in the world of European punk/DIY music. Apparently in the '80s, they were the Crass of the Netherlands, super weird experimental anarcho-punk stuff. This album, Starters and Alternators, is from 1998, and is definitely different than their early stuff. It's way more post-hardcore/post-punk influenced, with some definite mathy stuff, some Sonic-Youth sort of guitar dissonance thrown in, and some super Euro-socialist punk lyrics.
This song is particularly cool IMO, it's in 7, which automatically gives them props in my book, and, despite the odd meter, stays really groovy, and is super original, especially considering this is almost 20 years old. The guitar lines are great, I love the dissonance and weirdness, it's sort of everything I love in post-hardcore/punk stuff.
Hope you guys enjoy it too!
AND SOME NEWER TRACKS HERE!
