Soakie Soakie [La Vida Es Un Mus]

With seven tracks delivered in about 15 minutes, Soakie’s vicious, unrelenting debut most certainly does not overstay its welcome, not that this bracingly confrontational foursome display much concern with whether they are welcome or not. In fact, one gets the impression that Soakie relish a cold shoulder. They are, after all, directing some of their most venomous ire toward members of their own scene, most pointedly on Boys on Stage and What’s your Gender. Timeless hardcore driven by distinctly modern concerns, Soakie’s debut heralds the arrival of an irresistible new force in punk.
