Blast Worship: Durian

Where they from?
Philadelphia, PA. I went 0-3 with my NFL picks last week bringing my season total to 6-8 — yikes! Well, just because you’re behind doesn’t mean you can quit so here are another three picks for this week that I’m sure will totally not pan out: I like the Broncos -7, the Cowboys -3.5 and and the Bengals +14.5. Feel free to ignore these and read the rest of the article.

Why the hype?
PHILADELPHIA! It’s dirty, mean and rather unkempt and no single grindviolence band best manifests that filthy dishevelment quite like Durian. Featuring ex-members of the rather beloved Chainsaw To The Face, Durian lurch and skronk their way around madness, creating the sensation of a roller coaster literally about to fly off the rails at every twist and bend. This is gritty stuff, ya know like Gritty, the Flyers mascot? Have I jammed enough Philly references down your throat, or do I need to bring up the fucking Liberty Bell for you?

Latest Release?
Pecking Order, self-released. Some lineup switcheroos have left this unit a bit more nastier and cracked (like the Liberty Bell). New vocalist Otter brings a tough-guy charm to the grind proceedings and the band’s music still features John Burton’s rather prominent bass tone, which adds character, kinda like onions on a cheese steak. WIZ WIT!
