If you have no idea who they are then CHECK THEM OUT NOW! Their sound has recently been described as “ferocious, asphyxiating sheets of warped two-dimensional Gameboy glitches and bruising drum bombast that pierces your skull with their sheer shrill force, burrowing deep into the brain like a fever.”
I have never heard anything more awesome than that.
