Lie Still

Benumb was one of my favorite bands to emerge from the powerviolence scene in the 90s. An often overlooked and underappreciated band on Relapse, Benumb released some of the best grind / hardcore ever on that label and isnpired a crop of new "fastcore" bands such as XBrainiaX, Get Destroyed, Weekend Nachos, and others. Just when you thought it was safe to play slowly again comes Lie Still, a new project featuring members of Benumb, Lack of Interest, and Paranoid Freak Out. What you get is what you'd expect if you're familiar with those vets, some of the fastest and most punishing tunes recordable by humans. No fillers, no dance parts, and no care for whatever is cool at the festival circuit this summer. Straight out of the East Bay and headed for your town is Lie Still. Fuck off.
