Khiis: Saboor 7" (new)
3 tracks of dark and aggressive hardcore sung in Farsi. From Oakland.
Our take: Debut 7ā from this new band out of Oakland who might be the first punk band Iāve heard with lyrics in Farsi. Iād be interested in Khiis no matter what language they sang in, though, because this rips. Khiis has a dense, metallic sound that sits in a fuzzy space between punk subgenres. The mid-paced parts remind me of S.H.I.T. in their catchiness and pogo-ability, but for me itās the fast parts where they shine. I might lose people with this comparison, but their fast parts remind me of the Cro-Mags. Like the best Cro-Mags songs, the riffing is straightforward and Discharge-influenced, but the drummer doesnāt d-beat, instead powering forward with a simple, confident 1-2-1-2 beat. I doubt thatās a conscious influence, but if youāre a crusty who acknowledges that the Cro-Mags up to and including Age of Quarrel are legit AF then you will love this. All three tracks are keepers and theyāre different from one another, which makes me particularly eager to hear whatās next. I suspect Khiis hasĀ a killer LP in them, but I suppose time will tell. In the meantime, this will get plenty of play.
