Radio - Sunday, June 26th, 2022

On tonight’s Equalizing-X-Distort, we have a few sets featuring new releases. Andre does a mini feature on earl(ish) emo. Colombia voted on a new progressive government so we’re going to celebrate with some Colombian punk. And pride started out as a riot so in honour of today’s parade we have some queercore to riot to. Tonight’s demo feature is a power violence band from Vancouver called Noose Sweat. Download the show here.

Demo Feature
NOOSE SWEAT from Vancouver just had a flexi come out on 625 Thrash called “Death Denial” which was described as “Highly effective powerviolence from this Vancouver, Canada band. Raw, ferociously fast, incredibly well-executed, greasy, precise, murky and severe. Seven songs that last as long as it takes you to read this review. Huge cover art by the great and subversive artist Tommy Wilson”. This demo was recorded before the flexi and is a little rawer but for power violence fans will be appreciated. You can find the demo on bandcamp.
