OUT NOW!!!
NAPE NECK "LIVE AT SONIC PROTEST FESTIVAL 2023" Cassette
Trio from Leeds playing post-punk that’s simultaneously tangled and taut, danceable and destructed, all while resisting any attempts to be easily situated as the latest addition to a specific geographic and genre-based continuum that stretches back to GANG OF FOUR and DELTA 5. There’s definitely some echoes of Andy Gill’s razor-edged guitar scratch in the mix, but if anything, NAPE NECK’s knotted rhythms and the intersecting/overlapping vocal shouts from all three band members bring to mind neo-No Wave revival led by bands like MELTDOWN, SCISSOR GIRLS or ERASE ERRATA, who drew inspiration from the spiky tension of first wave UK post-punk but translated it through the more wild and free tendencies of DNA-descended downtown art-noise.
We release the concert they played in 2023 at Sonic Protest Festival on a limited edition of 50 copies on cassette out now on our bandcamp:
