White Jazz/Lies
(Deathwish Inc) new ep
White Jazz is a
new band from three quarters of Rise and Fall, giving nods to Minor Threat with
Greg Ginn type lead attacks. In “Bliss”, White Jazz are cultivating aggression
into sweeping waves of exhaustion and release. With “Gutter Rainbows”, Noise and
chaos copulate while filter through pedals of MC5 + Rollins Band + Dicks. There
are many influences. But this erects itself to be adored by a vast spectrum of
fans. The riff is the pith, but many other factors pack a pretty deep bite. The
throat of the vocalist is as impactful as any snare or guitar string. These are
not songs as much as they are four dudes beating their instruments to vent the
frenetic swarm in their heads. Lo-fi, DIY recording adds to the dangerous
aesthetic. Listening to this is like listening to the burning of an altar.
Boasting from members of Skin Like Iron and The Hope
Conspiracy, LIES play the hardcore of
Infest, Haymaker, and Extortion until it bursts into rocky noise. This is dirty
and gritty. Lies exhibit a bitter restraint while fusing Motorhead and Negative
approach. “Deny Me”, the second track is a blitzkrieg of off timing drums and
furious barking, powerviolence or what have you. It is noisey hardcore that is
vomited upon the two inch tape until we get that breakdown. It is catchy and
will have VFW hall floors absorbing blood. Lies have recorded what the internal
dialogue of a mapless Mid-Westener navigating Boston’s downtown.
