A split 7″ EP by Wellington crust punk band Scab<\/a><\/strong> and Australia’s Walrora<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Two bands that, I believe, are from New Zealand. SCAB plays definite, serious crust-core. Deep, barking vocals over demo quality heavy crust. Somewhere in between DISRUPT and TRAGEDY. Nice tempo changes and a solid foundation to work with for future releases. WALRORA start with a grinding, vicious pace but throws in a lot of heavy, slower parts. More crusty than power-violence, similar to bands like SCHIFOSI, NAUSEA, etc. Lots of women in this band which is always great to see in this style of punk. Worth hunting down!!
