GAUZE - KAO O ARATTE DENAOSHITE KOI

Seems that I'm on an 80s hardcore binge today, so enjoy it while it lasts. GAUZE were a hardcore punk band from Tokyo, Japan. They're considered to be one of most important bands to come out of that area for that time period, and with good reason. KFTH did a better review of their 1997 12"/CD than I ever could:

"1997 saw the release of their newest 12" Kao O Aratte Denaoshite Koi (literally translated means "Go wash your face and come back" - a Japanese expression used after someone is physically beaten by someone else) which has to be the best record by a hardcore band that had been around for 16 years ever. It is simply their best work, the songs explode from the grooves and kick your face in, then snap off your teeth with a pair of rusty pliers. It's that intense."

In summation: not for the faint of heart!
