Angerboys - I Wanna Be a Nihilist

  


  Angerboys (https://www.facebook.com/Angerboyspunk) are from Recklinghausen, Germany and they're one of the bands I stumbled across this week in my constant search for cool new music to put together on a playlist for the weekly Just Some Punk Songs show (https://www.facebook.com/events/405893611028704/). 

  They announced themselves in 2019 with a demo boasting 9 tracks of "weird n' nervous hardcore punk" (https://angerboys.bandcamp.com/album/demos-19). Those tracks have been dusted down and added to and now make up the bands debut album. It's titled How To Profit From The Panic, has a cool sleeve and is available on pink vinyl (Plastic Bomb Records : https://www.plasticbombshop.de/Gesamtliste-Musik/PB-Releases/Angerboys-How-To-Profit-From-The-Panic-col-Lp::27056.html ) & cassette (Rilrec : https://rilrec.de/shop/startseite/128-angerboys-how-to-profit-from-the-panic-lp.html). You can also get it from No Front Teeth  https://www.nofrontteeth.co.uk/



  So what do they serve up? A bunch of short, shouty and wonderfully undisciplined hardcore punk bangers. Pitched as Vengaboys, only angrier, and compared with the likes of Loli And The Chones/Nina Hagen etc, the band are fronted by 'singer' Taylor Snifft who's mission statement seems to be to shred her vocal chords as quickly as possible. It's an impressive debut. You can listen on Youtube :  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_naYg_jbmDihmwhbdIca2tbjb-tIe6EK68

  This is one of many highlights, it's called I Wanna Be A Nihilist...
