Mondo Bizarre Magazine Concert Reviews, Concerts

It was an intense, youthful, irreverent, dynamic and joyous concert from start to finish.

Almost without interruption, with very little chatter, and no hidden agendas.

This Californian quartet knew exactly what they had come for and did not hold back. They delivered everything they had to give in just under an hour, treating their audience to energetic surf rock infused with plenty of that neo-punk edge characteristic of many North American West Coast bands.

Heavily distorted, striking guitars, a strong and present bass, and an immensely energetic, tightly played and incredibly powerful drum kit. It’s a recipe that never fails.

The first assault came with Way Too Much, Idiot, King Of a Beach and Tarantula. Nathan Williams, the project’s founding member, is effusive and provocative. He urged the crowd to split down the middle, only to then charge at one another. It worked perfectly. The mosh and the slam took over Mouco, and the rest is well known. For a few moments, we are all teenagers again.

A special mention for Nine Is God, a very well-structured and captivating song. They closed their set with Green Eyes and took their leave beneath enthusiastic applause, though without an encore. It is what it is, and that’s perfectly fine.

Sean Scully – Soul

Power & Conscience: Men, Secrecy, and the Nervous System the new post at https://www.thelisteningroomhq.com/ speaks of power, secrecy, and social reinforcement are structural forces in the male nervous system.

By understanding their mechanisms, men can notice early signs of ethical drift and respond with clarity, integrity, and restraint. The work is practical, neurobiologically informed, and deeply grounded.
