M.O.A.B. Massive Ordinance Air Blast Tape

Here's a 13 minute slab for those of you who think that raw distorted and chaotic DBeat noise punk can only come from Kochi-City, Japan and Portland. The rough streets of Long Beach are littered with testosterone overloaded would-be surf bros sketched out on bathtub crank, and an over-saturation of third rate white boy faux dub/reggae, but beneath the surface and in the shadows you will always finds The Punx, and this time they manifest in the form of MASSIVE ORDNANCE AIR BLAST. Six tunes that start with textbook raw DBeat and move from there to insane blown out breakneck UK tinged hardcore. "Tweaker Waste" is a total Bristol style scorcher, but then "Economic Collapse" has a breakdown worthy of a clean cut So Cal finger pointing dogpile, and "Industrial Machine" has a City Babies-era G.B.H. feel. The highlight of the tape is the four minute closer, "Concentration Camp," a reverb drenched mid tempo introduction leads to a fist pounding song that is fucking brilliant in its pure simplicity, and the only thing I want to do after listening is start the tape over again. The drummer for M.O.A.B. was also in Jakarta, Indonesia's PEACE OR ANNIHILATION, and is in Long Beach attending university. Lucky Long Beach dudes grabbed themselves a rager behind the kit, and here's hoping that there's a vinyl release in the near future.
