So yea Gang Green formed in Braintree, Massachusetts in 1980 by three 15 year old boys. This original line up would disband in 1984, but little after that, their first ever release, which is THIS EP im reviewing, came out. Atleast the first 2 tracks on this EP were later included on Gang Green's album "Preschool". Gang Green would later deform to more of a speed metal type band but this is from the period when they were really good and fast pure hardcore punk rock. There was only 100 copies made of this EP and its Taang Records' first release. Lets take a look,
1. Sold Out
The beginning sounds really happy and they sing something like "All we want is money..." i can't understand the rest, but soon the happy part ends and he sings "Give back the people what they want!!" and it gets super fast. The drummer is insane. Unbelievable he can play that fast and its just the basic beat, he throws in even faster fills. After the madness, it cools down a bit to the same "happy" sound as it did in the start, and soon gets just all jamming without any vocals, but towards the end they speed up the song and throw in a crazeeh geetar soloe.
2. Terrorize
Some guitar feeback in the start, but not for too long. It fucking explodes. Another super fast song, dare i call it super duper fast? pretty hardcore ehehehehehehehheheeheh. This song is like 43 seconds long. Can't understand a word. Cool, bizarre yelling during the chorus.
3. Taang Dub
Obviously gotten its title from the band's record label. Or is the other way around?
In the beginning the drums and the bass jam a little, but soon the drummer wants it to turn more fast so he plays so and the song gets as he wants. The vocals hit and i still havent heard a single guitar chord in the song. After some angry yelling, theres a little jam part again. After awhile, a real quiet guitar sound is hearable, but soon it they crank it up and it plays pretty crazy solo, but thats it. THE END. go home
This is the first time i'm hearing Gang Green, i don't know yet how does their later stuff sound. I like to start from the first album usually. Definitely a band worth checking out.
My Rating: 8/8
