The O.G. New York no wave “movement” may only have lasted from 1976 to 1980, but its influences were widespread. And while the genre’s most commonly canonized bands — Teenage Jesus and The Jerks, The Contortions, Mars and DNA — didn’t share many stylistic similarities outside of atonality, all four implied a “fuck you!” to every imaginable establishment.
Talk Normal are the latest act to pick up the No Wave gauntlet, and the five tunes on this EP are bloody brilliant fun. Bored vocals, galloping drums, guitars that sound like animals dying and, best of all, some bona fide tunes: these gals got it all.
