(Night School)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Self-proclaimed XFCER (Xenofeminist crisis-energy rock) duo Guttersnipe arrive with a new racket, eight years after their debut. Guttersnipe deal in delivering maximal noise and destruction and push the boundaries on what can be achieved as a two-piece. Screeched vocals, bursts of percussion triggering synth modules pushing out possessed dialup internet memories, and ultra-processed guitar all compete to be the first to induce an anxiety attack.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re easily overstimulated, this probably isn\u2019t the album for you, but persevering and white-knuckling through delivers an experience that is the antithesis of the increasingly dreary world of AI-generated slop, endless war and bigotry we are cursed to live in. For reference, they would easily slot into the label rosters of Skin Graft or (the now-dormant) Load \u2013 so think a more druggy Ruins with a touch of Athletic Automaton and you\u2019re halfway to getting some idea of the madness presented here. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>words GARETH MOULE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/guttersnipe.bandcamp.com\/album\/extinction-burst\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Extinction Burst! by Guttersnipe<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GUTTERSNIPE Extinction Burst!
