Psycho - 6 Song E.P. - Son Of 8 Song E.P.

I`m fucking happy and excited. Today we will continue a theme about grind history. And we have today a very legendary band. We will be listening to the early Psycho work “Son Of 8 Song E.P.”! There is no sense in saying how much Psycho has done for the underground (they are really fathers). Their early years were really crazy, amazing shows in basements, raw recording sessions, there was a lot of fun (and of course there still is). This EP is only the second release in Psycho's discography. They released it in 1985, and it still sounds very rad. I was lucky enough to get a fresh re-press into my collection and I must confess it's very nice to hold this thing in your hands. Also it`s great that the new version has all the old art, I really believe that is very important (there is even a Xeroxed insert). This picture brings me smile. All this hardcore punk party looks so lovely. Old art is the best. As for music…
This is what I call real punk. Moldy raw sound, groove and pure aggression these words describe the whole thing. All 6 songs are charged with a good portion of kicking energy. If you listen to their previous work “8 song EP”, then you will definitely feel the changes. This EP contains more aggression, more hardcore madness. This record is fast and tight. This screaming guitar is really good, yes it has a simple sound, but it is very perfect for this genre. Also just listen to the bass guitar; these loud clanking noises are just adorable. The drummer has no high technical skills but he tries his best. So in the end I just only say that every second on this vinyl is worth being heard.
