More Metal Jams from Athens

The greatest metal act since Metallica, Acid Baby Jesus, hails from the great motherland of Greece from a scene that seems to revolve around a sick DIY space called Kataremeno Syndromo. About a year or so ago when I was creepily investigating this situation on the world wide web, I stumbled upon what is possibly the noisiest band from Athens. BAZOOKA makes you think of things like war and bubblegum and maybe some kind of cartoon character, but now you'll think of sexually deprived Athenian punks making a lot of noise with dual guitars battling it off with two drum sets which ultimately results in one of the tightest sounding punk acts I've heard in quite some time. The obvious winner on the EP or demo is "I Want To Fuck All The Girls In My School," but it would be nothing short of foolish to deem this radio appropriate. Every song on this EP thing rules hard, but "Mountain SA" is on a completely different level of brilliance, or at least one that is radio appropriate. "Mountain SA" opens into a solid warm fuzzy reverb soaked punk number and then morphs into a glorious moment of noisy chaotic feedback and then explodes into more warm fuzziness and then fucks with you all over again. I think we dig warm fuzziness. If you were into the Acid Baby Jesus tape that exploded at WUSB back in January, definitely turn yourself onto Bazooka. You can check out the FCC unfriendly track here.
