Lame

***LAME is back with their sophomore record. Ten tracks of direct, pummeling and tortured Hardcore-Punk. While the musicianship on this record is superb, with every instrument being upfront, it is really the vocals and lyrics what push the songs to the edge. Sally’s singing is manic, with very introspective lyrics, with a constant sense of hopelessness permeating through the entire record. Bringing to mind the almighty G.R.B. on the vocal and lyrical approach. Musically LAME is part Chain Reaction part the first D.I.R.T. EP, with hints of Midwest HC and Mediterranean Modern Punk. With a very driven bass, chainsaw guitar heavy on the fuzz tone and a very imaginative drummer. Without shadow of a doubt, this record fits right in with other Nuevo Sonido Balear greats.

Recorded Halfway between Studio Impala Uno in Mallorca and Ramon’s Bedroom in Berlin. The record comes in a reverse board sleeve with an obi, insert and extra poster. Artwork by Bernat Mundial with help from the rest of LAME. Poster by Nicky Rat.
