PLACID - Aller Jamais Retour EP
Weirdo Hardcore-punk on the eggier side of things that combines chorus-drenched noisy guitar and fast frantic drumming; but what made me fall in love with them are the super snarky vocals. Some songs are in English and others are in French (I believe the singer is from Luxembourg and the band is based in Germany). The lyrics are quite vile but the vocal delivery has a candid touch that makes the songs all the more catchier. It’s as no-bullshit as it gets and the drums are barrelling through the noise. There’s no mosh parts per se but definitely moments that will make people run into each other like maniacs in the pit. I described this as putting EXIT ORDER, BIB and LITIGE in a blender, but they definitely have their own thing going on.
