Rusted Shut
 

Phew! The S/T album I downloaded and assumed to be the new full length is actally a pre-Rehab Rusted Shut album. Thank goodness, cause while it's still good it doesn't go any farther than the template that Flipper started, just slow noisy punk songs, unlike 'Rehab' which was like the bastard child of all the nastiest and best parts about hardcore, black metal, early grind, noise, any avant-improv fuckery. The new album is called "Dead" but the dead is crossed out, don't know how to type that sorry, and is on Load. I can't wait to hear it.

Here's a review:

I saw Rusted Shut play in Houston at least 8 times.

Houston always has great walls of guitar noise....
