PLUG - BACK ON THE SKULL (2013)














So when I first saw this album cover, it made me think of early 90's heavy/industrial/noise type stuff. And it's that far off, sans the industrial aspect. And available on cassette too, so there's that.

This 5-piece from San Antonio, Tejas, recall the early sounds of Helmet, Tad, Melvins, and Unsane, with an updated style similar to Whores. This is their debut which they blast out plenty of originals along with a Discharge and a Fang cover. They also have a new 2 song EP on their Bandcamp, which is more southern rock/punk. Its ok...but I prefer this record!

Anyone who can pull off Discharge and Fang and have it come out sounding pretty damned good is okay in my book. This rocks!
