MRR Record of the week!

Records of the week: OBEDIENCIA & NIGHTGAUN EPs

NIGHTGAUN – Absurdity of Meaning EP

I just saw these dudes last week and thought that the delay effect on the vocals was the sound guy fucking around to make up for the shitty PA, but it turns out it was on purpose. It actually sounds pretty good now that I listen objectively. NIGHTGAUN plays pissed off crust with its roots buried in hardcore rather than metal. They play fast but don’t resort to the D-beat. They’re heavy but don’t chug the guitars. The lyrics are aggressive and confrontationally political, not the usual whining about issues without talking about solutions. I’m stoked on the fresh and honest punk-ness of it. The only question I have is how do you pronounce the name? Nightgown? Nightgone? Everybody had their own version at the show and I still don’t know. Somebody settle this for me so I can, with any reservations, dig the fuck out of this band. (BL) (Primitive Future)
