Pusdrainer / Sunken Cheek

The Pusdrainer side of this is taken from Bandcamp and the Sunken Cheek side is my rip. The first and last Pusdrainer tracks are very subdued and ominous, kind of death industrial sounding, I think. The middle song is much more harsh and in your face but is still similar to the other two in structure. Justin Lakes retired Pusdrainer in 2013 or so but has continued to do noise with Shredded Nerve. He also seems to have resurrected Pusdrainer, having released a new tape last year and done some shows under that name this year and last.

The Sunken Cheek track is more straightforward instrumental noise. It's fine but not as interesting as more recent material, I think. Sunken Cheek has only continued to grow and improve in the years since this split, and the latest tape on New Forces is excellent. (edited Feb 2019)

Human Beard released a pretty decent quantity of cool noise and I regret not supporting the label while it was active. I think they were finished by the time I was getting into ordering shit from underground labels. I'm going to have to lurk discogs for more Human Beard releases, and I will hopefully get more stuff by both artists on this split at some point as well.
