Chueko - Tools of oppression 7"
In the past few years Portland has produced some top-notch hardcore,
most notably in the family of bands such as ALIENATOR, SUCK LORDS, REEK
MINDS, etc. The latest installment of this cluster of weirdos is CHUEKO,
with their four song debut 7”. Fierce fast, hard punk with solid paces,
great tones (notably the bass, often taking the helm as the courier of
riffage) and really catchy tunes. There are many nods to HC bands past,
specifically 80’s USHC, but there is also a nice UK82 overtone, giving
the songs a nice swagger, often bringing to mind GBH (in fact the intro
for “Stupid People” is a direct homage to said band). This ep deserves
to be on your turntable if you appreciate the aforementioned bands and
hardcore with an emphasis on punk. No cheezy breakdowns or macho
posturing, just steady driving slamming shit which will demand multiple
flips of the record
