Aesthetic Of Anger are a new anarcho hardcore punk band from Eugene, Oregon who formed in 2019 after a chance meeting at a Subhumans show in Portland. The line up of the band is John Copeland (ex Dogma Mundista, drums), Evan Crowley (vocals) and Hot Pockets (guitar and currently bass). Their mission statement is to take d-beat back to it's primitive roots. No melody, just in your face hardcore Discharge style punk. They're currently on hiatus due to the global pandemic but once allowed out again they've another 10 songs almost ready to unleash.
That's 10 songs in addition to the 4 they've just released on their Demo ep. Titled Burn Piggy Burn, it's available name your price here : https://aestheticofanger.bandcamp.com/releases
The ep barrels headfirst out of the starting gate with pummelling opener Scum Rat which almost reaches the 1 minute mark but not quite. And then we're thrown by KRS-One bellowing out "Woop-woop! That's the sound of da police!" but just as you think maybe we're getting some rap, normal service is resumed and the blitzkrieg continues as the boys in blue come under fire. Track 3 is more early period Discharge worship as we're told to stand up and fight for our rights. A very promising demo finishes with another 60 second aural strafing that leaves me wanting more.
Pick of the bunch? This is Burn Piggy Burn...
