Bad Habit Records have announced a split LP between Jalang from Melbourne and Unsanitary Napkin from NZ.
Fromt he label...
Aotearoa and So-Called Australian d-beat punk manic hardcore join forces to unleash a split lp.
Jalang destroy 7 songs including a Unsanitary Napkin cover. Screamed lyrics in Indonesian and English (Alda/Vocals is from Indo), hard hitting d-beat drums, heavy and vicious axe attack thats tempered with a catchiness that will groove your bones, and bass to hold it together.
Unsanitary Napkin are abit more wild in the adhiring to strict b-deat genre conventions, they make me think of alot of great 90's bands who flaunted punk conventions and just went musically rogue. I love it. They return the favour by slipping in a Jalang cover on their side.
Both bands rage with disgust at world that can sit by as genocide takes place, as women and marginalized people suffer under the boot of a bullshit system. But its all delivered with a friendly warmness that embraces the listener and allies like the humidity in a sweaty house show. The world is full of horrors but diy punk can slow a descent in total despair.
