Plezzure * Plezzure (Mod) [New CD]

Plezzure blast frenetic electropunk. East LA duo exhibits rare, raw energy on self-titled EP. On their long-awaited first official offering, East Los Angeles-based Plezzure - consisting of Andres "Dres" Huerta and Juan "Bunchie" Vera - fuse electropunk and breaks like it's second nature. Their self-titled EP boils over with grimy, raw, and scene-stealing energy. Throughout the brisk fifteen-minute runtime, filthy strings and blistering synths crash into frenzied beats, creating a white-hot explosion of angst, rage, and discontent. With proclamations like "Fuck The System," "Death 2 La Migra" and "$nake," it's not hard to decipher Plezzure's worldview. EP closer "Vampire" delivers a surprisingly apt dip into darkwave and deathpop.
