The best band I saw this year! Kansas City, MO’s MENTIRA marry the unbridled experimentalism of early Japanese hardcore with the contemporary melodicism and rhythmic inventiveness of the current Spanish punk scene — the groovier spiritual sibling of DESTINO FINAL, no doubt! — and emerge with something entirely their own. Estilo loco! A band that blew me away from the first minute I saw them, this is their debut on vinyl, lucky number TSF-013. Features members of AMERICAN HATE, NIÉGALO TODO, NATURAL MAN, UNFORGIVEN 5, and more. Limited to 500 copies and 25 tour edition test presses, all on black vinyl, with Risographed sleeves produced at Oddities Prints in KCMO. “Vivimos en eterno engaño, en constante vacío existencial.”
