Antibodies: 2019 + 2018 12"
Look up the Canadian city of Charlottetown and youâll learn a decent chunk of its musical history. Big bands, opera... even fiddle music, thanks to early Scottish settlers in the province of Prince Edward Island. What the guide books wonât tell you, for some unfathomable reason, is that the place is also home to one of the most blazing weirdo hardcore punk bands on the planet.
Meet Antibodies: Ben, Teajay, Ryan and Brett make a thoroughly scuzzy, blink-and-youâll-have-missed-half-the-album racket that shares a lax attitude to studio fidelity with their countrymen the Booji Boys. So far theyâve racked up one mighty impressive demo tape and two intensely enjoyable albums, the helpfully titled âLP 2018â and âLP 2019â.
Itâs the latter two releases weâre talking about today, since theyâve been compiled together onto one unmissable slab of wax (equally helpfully titled âLP 2019 + LP 2018â). With each side ten tracks long and wobbling around the 11-minute mark, itâs clear theyâre aiming for brevity, concision and a speedy approach thatâs gonna see âem ram as many full-pelt ragers through your ears in as short a time as possible. Yes, on first listen itâs a blur of furious energy and brutal power chords, with barely enough time to pause and take it all in. But of course, by the tenth listen youâll have declared them your favourite band and written them a dictionaryâs worth of love letters, begging them to come play your town.
This ainât music to savour subtly, or to spin in the background while reclining gently on a chaise-longue while sampling the finest wines and most befuddling of gourmandises. This is punk rock in its purest form. It sounds like Thee Oh Sees, shorn of the krautrock groove and 60s sprinklings, firing themselves from a cannon straight into a brick wall. Itâs relentless, not that youâll want it to stop. Itâs Black Flag if theyâd only stuck with Keith and realised their songs could all be edited down to something even more potent. Itâs two records from last year and the year before, juxtaposed to form your favourite album of 2020. Play it once, play it twice, play it over and over again, forever; Antibodies are the product of and cure for boredom - and boy, do you ever need âem in your life.
