KIDNAPPED
Collected Works 2017–2019 LP
I don’t know an awful lot about the New England region of the United States, but from what I can gather from this record, it’s fucked. Miserable and bleak. I say this with all the speculation a punk way down on the other side of the planet can; my interpretation of KIDNAPPED’s home state is made purely based on this record. What a fuckin’ ride it is. Furious, pummelling HC, more so in the vein of bands that tackled that slightly stranger side of 2010’s powerviolence (holy shit, remember WATER TORTURE and ROBOCOP?). I say slightly stranger, but there’s no element of pretension here, just a hell of a lot of anger and speed, followed by some truly crippling breakdowns. There’s a bleakness to this kind of HC that I really fucking like, it eschews poeticisms and goes straight for the throat. Despite appearing to be a compilation, this thing whips by like an LP, highly recommended. (PS: The DOOM riff cutting into that pinging snare on “Shit Tier Kinda Guy” is the chef’s kiss on this record.)

This Spanish punk outfit carries forward an assortment of '80s hardcore influences, leaning heavy on riffs and speed. Pure pogo. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 6, 2017

Simply one of the greatest Grindcore/Powerviolence acts of our generation, they don’t even need guitars to kick your ass! Their live performances are even more punishing! WORLD FUCKING PEACE! johanmacky
