Babyshico – Demo

Powerviolence is fun. It’s always very youthful and most of the time people in these bands don’t take themselves too seriously. There are silly jokes in the lyrics, song names and album covers. They are bored, they are angry, they want to play fast and scream loud. That’s how it is.

Babyshico is a hardcore punk/powerviolence band from Concepción, Chile. Although they are far away from the capital, they probably hate most of the things that people in their hometown like, so they try to escape the shit of their city with some raw music.

The demo starts right away and the first thing we notice is a serious Spazz and Charles Bronson worship. They even have a live cover of the latter. High-pitched screams and deep, gorilla-like vocals are mixed with heavily distorted bass and fuzzy guitars. You know the drill. Hard hitting, fast paced beats interspersed with slow parts to contrast the overall energy blast. Nothing fancy, right in your face.

They are killer live, but on this demo they don’t give us much more. It leaves us hanging. They are still quite new, so we will have to wait for a new release with new songs to see where all this could go. I hope they give us something more drastic than what No Comment and Crossed Out gave us in the past.
