Man’s Assassination, Man make brutal, crazy punk so hardcore DIY that the drums sound like they were swiped from some munted demo tape from the early ’90s that was ripped to shreds in a crappy boombox then painstakingly pieced back together again. Brothers Bill and Jon Gray of The Mae Shi, Greg Arnold of Residual Echoes and Of Aire with Adam Payne and Justin Hunter comprise California’s sassiest mutant punk hybrid, and are every bit antagonistic and aggressive as you’d expect from their previous band credentials. They came to EMJ’s attention when it was announced they would be playing a charity gig for The Smell with HEALTH, Abe Vigoda and Tearist (featuring members of Silver Daggers) tonight. Their frenetic energy, creatively interlocking and climbing guitar and bass riffs, powerhouse attack and spitting venomous vocals are captivating. So if you’re in LA, what are you waiting for? They’re playing in a few hours!
