From: Seattle, Washington
Genre: Powerviolence
For Fans Of: Spazz, Charles Bronson, Man is the Bastard

You know what I was really sick of? Guitars. God those things suck, always providing notes in a higher register than basses. Seriously, who needs them? Lewd Gesture sure as hell don't, and they seem to be doing just fine without them. This ep provides a blistering 15 minutes of straight drum and bass powerviolence, and doing it in the best way possible, with plenty of blast beats, a little bit of noise to keep the Man is the Bastard school of powerviolence happy, and even some vocals that remind me a lot of MITB. It's good to know that there are still PV bands out there who worship MITB (as it should be) instead of joining the new era of powerviolence that revolves around ripping off Weekend Nachos and Punch's sounds without just changing their band names to Weekend Nachos 2.0. I dig this album/ep/whatever you want to call it a lot, although, in the long run, some longer noise passages and maybe a guitar would help to more fully flesh out their sound a bit.
