Subdued - Abattoir LP

I did not have enjoying bands that could slot into the Spiderleg Records (Flux Of Pink Indians, Amebix etc) roster on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are! Along with Vampire and Bad Breeding, Subdued bring a real sense of urgency to the Anarcho Punk framework.

I reckon that urgency, the feeling that this is something beyond flaccid subcultural fandom and rehashed lukewarm political indignation, is more important than having a bombastically new spin on things. 

The USHC approach to recording (done at D4MT Labs, NYC where modern HC high point Nosferatu's Society's Bastard was recorded), serves them very well! Much better than a ricky ticky lentil commune sound if you know what I mean?  - Nic
