Local Trap "Demo"

From: Portugal

Playing: Dirty hXc
Could sound like: lo-fi TRap Them

Just one song: Society drops out

Back on this side of the ocean, not far from where the cold waves of the Atlantic burst into salty tears and mingle with the sand: Vila Nova de Gaia, Oporto's bad twin sister.
You probably don't know anything about this city, right?
Trust Local Trap for a short and exhaustive visit... and Vila Nova de Gaia will look like a mixture of some cheap and desperate US suburb that wouldn't even make to a Larry Clark's movie with industrial leftovers from somewhere around Antwerpen (in february). It's bleak, it's wet, some kind of a sick green fog is hanging around, and that smell may be rotten flesh from an unknown animal.

In fact, it's not really the case.

But Local Trap definitely sounds like these kinds of landscapes. They've already been labeled as “hardcore sludge”, and that would be a short but efficient way to describe it. Their hardcore can be nervous and/or heavy, the sound is just sick, and the songs' structures are complex enough not to bore, but they are not utterly chaotic, which means they stay focused, and go straight where they have to: in your face.

If it should remind me of something, I would say a kind of Trap Them, for the good dosage between hardcore heaviness and punk excitement; but with less muscles and more nerves. And a twisted mind glowing through a kind of smile I wouldn't like to notice above my shoulder when I'm shaving.

You can get this dirty piece of rock'n roll from their blog.

Some fresher news through their facibooki .

And the bandcamp, for their split CD with Knives Out.
