DAILY FIX: Suppression

by | Nov 5, 2010 | MUSIC

For reasons you will soon learn, I’ve been listening to a lot of Suppression lately. Their original Roanoke incarnation were one of the best power-violence bands of the 90s, and that is proved by this multi-camera footage shot in Rochester NY in 1997. They’re playing the songs “Subservient Fuck” and “Blood Of Millions,” both of which appeared on their split LP with Cripple Bastards. Be prepared for noise, feedback, speed, brutal riffs and plenty of crowd-baiting stage banter from Jason Hodges. This is the shit.
