Sorry State Records – 25 Mar 2024
Chaos OK (featuring members of Logic Problem, Kakamaki and more) may be a funny name, but there is nothing funny about the music. Their debut demo is a love-letter to relentless, and relentlessly noisy, early-80s hardcore punk. The fuzzy and distorted production, echo-y percussion. It now only sounds like the 80s, it sounds like it was recorded in the 80s in some back alley studio, and then made its way across multiple cassette tape re-recordings until it finally showed up in your car's tape deck.
