BACONHANGER - "hoosier holocauspitality" // bad taste #28


baconhanger's debut, hoosier holocauspitality, may be bad taste's most brutal, unrelentingly punishing release yet. the audio equivalent of a middle finger in your face, hoosier holocauspitality is 15 tracks of intense breakcore and gabber, jacked up on sample cutups and circuitbent toys. from start to finish, there's no time to relax, no place to hide from the aural assault.

UNSZENE - "reckless stepchild" // bad taste #29


5 years after it's initial very limited release, reckless stepchild is finally unleashed to a wider audience. circuit-bent electronics & mutilated tape loops produce cascading waves of static that give way to intermittent rhythmic underpinnings in a true free-form spirit. lo-fi & raw in nature, unszene will lead you to a world of analog in decay. featuring collaborations with bobby vomit & unusable signal.
