RAPE REVENGE - Paper Cage

RAPE REVENGE describe themselves as a "feminist queer vegan straight edge band from Calgary". Pissed  rabid ultraviolent one might add. The level of aggression is extraordinaryly high.

The members of RR are all involved in various social projects of all kinds giving them enough topics they write their songs about. Frontlady Samantha expresses her anger towards the social and political injustice we're all facing with bloodcurdling screams, supported by guitars that construct a quite dissonant building on the solid foundation that are bass and drums. The sound is brilliantly balanced giving every intrument the necessary definition without losing the raw edges that powerviolence needs.

If you like any kind of aggressive fast music, do yourself a favour and buy this awesome 7" on vinyl or download it via bandcamp. "Paper Cage" is one of the best releases of 2012!
