MP3: BLLTPRF CPD - Esoteric fraud
Sidestepping from yesterday's post on the damaged no-wave of Knife and Ape, today I bring you the damaged new-wave of BLLTPRF CPD (nee Bulletproof Cupid). When you hear this stuff, the punk-influence claims of other new-wavish acts like The Sounds or Surferosa will seem laughable. They just sound so damn tame in comparison to the furious energy of these dudes. The track I've posted today is much, much more guitar-heavy than a lot of the other, more keyboard driven songs on the record, so my "new-wave" label might seem a bit misleading at first. The band probably does have more in common with the noiserock of old Boner Records bands like Steel Pole Bath Tub or Star Pimp than, say Blondie, but whatever - gotta start somewhere. Besides, don't synths usually equal new-wave? Anyhow, if any of the other Trewetha bands such as I Love You Baby! or The State of Floral Beings piqued your interest, you'll definitely be into this as well. It's in a similar vein, but still with a unique sound of their own. Dig it.
