JUVENTUD JUCHÉ
Even with the aid of Google Translate we couldn’t find too much info on this Madrid-based, Kim Jong II-obsessed trio. But we feel absolutely compelled to draw your attention to Juventud Juché’s recent EP, where the band smash out a thrilling hybridisation of jerky post-punk and wired garage rock over six abrasive tracks which never make it past the 1:25 mark. There’s only one guitarist in the group, but somehow he conjures up a razor sharp attack which sounds like a duel between Andy Gill and Terry Ex. Although we can’t understand the literal meaning of the chanted punk- rock sloganeering on tracks like En serio, no, the sentiment feels as intense as a rubber bullet.
