The Loud Residents

Layers of fuzz, feedback-drenched echo, drums that BOOM like a sledgehammer at the bottom of a grain silo, these kids (#hephephep) from Malaga sound like they've been told to go make a noise all their lives. Maybe they'll mellow, hopefully they won't - either way 'Savagexplosive Girl' sounds like The Ramones produced by Phil Spector (oh, wait) and 'Mafia' starts like vintage Alice Cooper before giving way to a railroad riff of foundation-shaking dimensions. The drums on 'Fuck The System!' appear to be at the point of detonation. All six tracks have a momentum that sweeps away any over-thinking. With music as raw as this, life seems simpler - The Loud Residents - don't go changing!

    Hi, I´m the little Phil Spector behind the production but They have it all and just had to push the rec button and add some tricks from the old school. Today is my birthday and I´m so happy that people can appreciate the talent of these kids (15,16,17). I agree with you, if these kids don´t change they will have a great future.

      Thanks for taking the time to comment - we did meet (briefly) after the Bruce show in San Sebastián. Yes these kids have it in abundance and you've done a great job capturing their vitality - not as easy as it sounds. I look forward to hearing lots more from them.
