BAND OF THE DAY: ASSAULT

The first Band of the Day in just over a month, and to compensate it's the most lo-fi, clattering shit that can be unearthed, the sort of music that sends the posers screaming and wailing off back to their collection of Toxic Holocaust vinyl, and leaves the true, stalwart sons of crust gazing meaningfully in pride, the urge to rage hard rising in their chests. Or something like that.

East Jakarta's Assault formed as a side-project for a number of prolific musicians in the Indonesian crust scene who weren't quite as prolific as the band's core liked, resulting in them being repopulated by members of DeadSystem, Arianggara and others, and getting them into the furiously kinetic place where they could blast out the ten tracks of buzzsaw crust punk that make up their Anti Cimex-approved 2009 demo 'Here We Are'.

If only they weren't too punk rock to be active on the internet and let us know what they're up to, eh?
