DIS-TANK - Wasting Prayers on a Fucked Up System

  


   Who Is Your God?
  Where Is He Now?

  James Domestic must be one of the UK's most prolific artists. He's been responsible, or at least involved in more projects than I can remember over the last few years. Off the top of my head I can think up The Domestics, Tokyo Lungs, Bring The Drones, PI$$ER, KÖRD VÄRLD, Froggy & The Ringes & Hazard Profile. As well as this he's released his own solo material (a new solo single will be available digitally on January 14th with pre orders for a new album probably going live on the same day) and he runs Kibou Records releasing music by the likes of Las Ratapunks, Negativo, The Bristles etc...

  Another one of his bands are DIS-TANK (https://www.facebook.com/distank). They're a D-Beat influenced hardcore outfit who released an album in 2015 titled Hardcore D-Beat Bruisers Vol.1  https://kibourecords.bandcamp.com/album/hardcore-d-beat-bruisers-vol-1

  As far as I'm aware, we never got a Vol 2 but plans were in place a couple of years ago to release more tracks as part of a split 7" but due to Covid and other shit, it never happened. The DIS-TANK tracks were already mixed and mastered and now they've seen the light of day on a 4 track ep titled Wasted Prayers on a Fucked Up System. You can find it here :  https://kibourecords.bandcamp.com/album/wasted-prayers-on-a-fucked-up-system

  The ep kicks off with a statement of intent called D-Beat Existence and never lets up. All tracks are brief and brutal slabs of pummelling noise with James shouting enthusiastically over the top of a blitzkrieg backbeat. It's a hell of a way to test out how bad that New Year's Day hangover is so play it  loud. 

  This is the title track, it's called Wasting Prayers on a Fucked Up System...
