REVIEW
Daumier's debut record is a fiery one, that's for sure, and it goes insanely hard right from the get go so strap in and get ready for an abrasive ride!
The band's performances are insane, aggressive and bombastic, but what holds this record back is the (probably intentional) mono sound, meaning despite the instrumental fury there are moments when the mix just doesn't sound that deep, or sounds a little too cluttered. Yes, I'm aware that's somewhat the point, but without the backing of more differentiated panning the sounds are made to be more shallow than they should. Still, this is a lot of fun and a pretty great way to vent your anger, and the fact that it's only 20 minutes greatly increases its replay factor. Check this out if you're at all into punk, but be warned that this thing goes hard.
