MALCRIA // VDS


MALCRIA have a weird edge, like there's something they aren't telling us. It's forceful hardcore with engaging song construction, but then that bass almost sounds like it wants to be in a goth band and the singer sounds like he could be in an Oi! band if he wanted to be but then they just rip through a mid-paced stomp like "Histeria" and I can't picture them playing any brand of punk other than this - because this is theirs. VDS are a little more raw and unpredictable, but no less powerful. Blasts and whirlwind hardcore with multiple vocals, plenty of dirt unsuccessfully trying to hide the hooks that populate these creamers. "No Sé" is the jam of this 2014 tape, and these two Mexico City bands deserve your attention.

hi, thanks for your kind words on the tape, we all felt great about what you said, currently Malcría is working on a new tape including a re-mixing of the demo and a whole new set of songs. we'll definitely send you one. meanwhile, you can hear the re-mixing here.(it's got different vocals because we lost the originals while doing this and we sang a bit different due to illness) https://malcriahc.bandcamp.com/releases. thanks again from everybody, your blog kicks ass!
