Durham, NC based post-punk quartet Blab School looked up a winning recipe in the playbook for recording an angry album. Their self-titled record brushes shoulders with both garage and goth rock, seasoned with a dressing of nihilism and not giving a fuck in general.
Nevertheless, it is very danceable and it will go down well with the dressed-in-black outsiders with a craving for old school twin guitars and an in-your-face rhythm section. It will clear the room of frat boys and sorority girls who might have wandered in by mistake.
Blab School:
Ryan Seagrist: guitar, keyboards, vocals
Elizabeth Killian: guitar, vocals
Dave Cantwell: drums
Fikri Yucel: bass, backing vocals
Blab School is released via Fort Lowell Records (hand-numbered - 100 copies - yellow translucent vinyl, digital).
