Brain Tourniquet - ...An Expression In Pain LP

Brain Tourniquet, a DC band in the vein of “classic West Coast Power Violence legends like Man Is The Bastard, Crossed Out and Neanderthal” will certainly appeal to that intended audience, but are so goddamn GREAT they also transcend that niche and should appeal to anyone after a dose of the most affecting contemporary Hardcore.

Brain Tourniquet have best conjured the post-82 demos Black Flag creepy crawly sound (minus the stoner malarky), and welded the miserable post-Sabbath riffs of Iron Age and Innumerable Forms (whom they share a member with) with dexterous yet thuggish hardcore riffs. All this with an insane level of straight edge precision. Very real. - Nic
