Assassins 88 are a two-piece lo-fi indie noise punk band from Canberra, Australia. Please do not let this "88" confuse you as it has nothing to do with the nazi "88". I have to admit that it's been awhile since I've heard something similar. It's like No Age meets Lightning Bolt but in a very twisted way. Or maybe it's The Locust sonically infesting The Mae Shi. The truth is that these two aussies produce pure sonic chaos that it's in a way appealing with it's raw and dirty sound and screaming vocals. Add to that some really energetic performances and you get an idea what to expect from this two. The drummer literally kicks-ass. The first time I heard their music I felt like my ears were raped by this weird cacophony of various different sounds. But very quickly I realized that it takes time to appreciate such music. I can recommend "Girls Girls Girls" off their debut album with it's simple no-brain lyrics and distorted melodic sound. I can imagine this being played at a house party. Definitely not a music for everyone but might surprise many. Sonic mayhem!
