Self Made God (2009) — Jason

Mothra – Dyes — Self Made God, 2009

Noisy manic hardcore from Poland in the vein of Deadguy, Botch, or Norma Jean. Once again completely not my thing but Mothra seem to know what they are doing with their mathy assault. I wish I had more to say about this but I really don't have any frame of reference and it's too easy for me to make Polack jokes. I was bored throughout Dyes as it was just too haphazard as the band seemed to just take a bunch of parts and throw them together to make a song. If this were the early 2000's, I'd probably be more into this.

When Horror dropped last year, it was well worth the privileged price of entering the collected world of The Mekons. I was lucky enough to find their first LP—"The Quality Of Mercy Is Not Strnen"—in a thrift store many blood moons ago. This began my foray into the ever-changing world of The Mekons and their many ever-changing forays into the … Read more
