First 100 on Transparent Blue
Can Kicker (Luke, Shorty, Jo, Emma) grab you by the ears, drag you into a dark alley, and kick your can. You'll be glad they did. -- winch
"Cardiff’s supremely noisy quintet Can Kicker...If you like your hardcore to flex some serious muscle while skirting around the edges of goth and post-punk, their self-titled debut just could be the record for you. Like a breeze block to the back of your skull, this is guaranteed to make everything feel frayed and fuzzy at the edges, delivering a knockout punch that’ll leave you reeling. Luke Penny’s voice is often lost in the maelstrom of pulverising power chords, but he’s no grunting hardcore knucklehead. His delivery is an impassioned yelp that’s dripping with anger and a matter-of-fact sneer that instantly sells his conviction, while the band conjure echoes of Die Kreuzen’s’ Century File’ one minute, Blitz’s ‘New Age’ the next. At full pelt, they sound like Protomartyr and Discharge fighting over whose turn it is to slash the cops’ tyres; the rest of the time (say, the scintillating headfuck of creepy-crawling classic ‘Waking Dream’), they’re busy making the holiest of rackets.
