After two 7"s (one on Deranged and one on Sorry State), Raleigh, NC's Davidians delivers their first 12" record. Realizing the sound hinted at on their previous two-song single, "City Trends" combines elements of art-punk and hardcore into one of the freshest and most distinctive sounds in contemporary punk. While Davidians pick up on various threads in punk's 40-year history - the pulse and heaviness of '90s noise rock, the quirky rhythms of Wire's branch of post-punk's family tree, the brooding atmosphere of goth and the velocity and concision of early-'80s U.S. hardcore - these elements are fully digested, growing organically out of the sound of four people of varying ages and backgrounds playing in a room together. 12" ep includes digital download.
