City Hunter - Demo Cs (2012)


Three tracks in less than three minutes, that's what I like to call hardcore. Raw and harsch to the point. Aggressive cover, with a man smiling in the shadow, wearing leather mask and gloves, threatening a girl with a huge ass knife on her throat. I wish the second release will include a picture of the cut bitch. It reminded me of the good Giallo films era, and this comes in a case similar to old VHS ones, even the back have a storyline-like with the lyrics and a tagline'' ..'til the blade goes dull ''. Best packaging ever. There is this menacing sound that's mind blowing, I love it, violent and dark, I really can't wait to hear their EP that will be put out by Youth Attack records, I believe. This review is as short as this demo cassette, but what else could I say? Three top notch songs to listen to while you're prowling these filthy streets. A soundtrack for human hunt. Stab and repeat. Stab and repeat. Stab and repeat.
Blackout rage. 2012. USA.

Stephen Bessac / Kickback (interview) part 2

Image
First published in Neons Fanzine #3 (split with Shocktilt) Read part 1 How did you dive into the underground scene in the 90s ? Peter Sotos, Whitehouse, power electronics, ... Opening yourself to filthiest and more immoral spheres I discovered Peter Sotos through Apocalypse Culture, like many others and then by getting my hands on xeroxes of PURE as fast as I could after reading that interview. PURE was exactly what I wanted. No apologies. Just pure unadulterated lust. I was already fully aware of what I was looking for in many things. That’s also why the work of Peter Sotos had such a resonance for me at the time. It was way more honest and dangerous than most of what was passing for extreme at the time. I discovered WHITEHOUSE and countless Industrial / Power Electronics /Noise acts around the same time, through a friend of mine. He turned me to the genre, knowing my tastes. The ''musical'' side of it was brand new to my ears, but the covers, the packaging,

Read part 2 Scans from Neons #2 Click on the pics to enlarge Or scroll down to read the written interview This is the first part of the interview, mostly focused on Thailand. For those who don't already know who Stephen Bessac is, let just say he's a french scumbag who doesn't care about you or anyone. He stands alone. Living his life his own way, without being held accountable to someone for his behavior. He was also the singer of the furious hardcore band Kickback , famous for their violent, unpredictable live shows. But that won't be the subject here. It has already be discussed over and over, with a lot of ridiculous (or not) rumors. Stephen, sick of Paris, and France in general, said one day ''fuck it!'' and left everything behind without saying goodbye, direction Bangkok... Since when do you live in Thailand? What are the reasons that made you leave France? I have been living in Bangkok for almost five years now. I

Back in the late 80s and early 90s, Full Force Frank made some noise in the underground scene with his notorious murder-obsessed xeroxed fanzines called  Singin’ Dose Anti Psychotic Blues  and  Livin’ In A Powder Keg And Givin’ Off Sparks . Adam Parfrey, owner of Feral House publishing, even decided to interview him for the second edition of his cult book  Apocalypse Culture . « Frank, talk from a psychopath ». An insane man expressing his obsession towards violence, particularly mass murders, and women’s feet. At the time, a copy of his fanzine could even be traded against a pair of used women’s heels. There had been much speculations over his identity throughout the years, who can be hiding behind this mysterious figure? We don’t know much about him. According to Parfrey, Frank is a Brooklyn loner psycho, who was mentally, physically and sexually abused as a child. He grew up with a mind filled with anger and hate, not capable of any emotion. He said is soul is dead.  «
