Richmond artist Gary Stevens has been doing Harsh Noise since 1999 with releases on labels like Hospital Productions, Dead Gods, No Rent and Veil Tapes.
He spends most of his time tattooing and digging for obscure hidden gems for his killer mixes as DJ RAT-WARD, so I am really stoked that he took the time to do this release.
I noticed that he had stuff start coming out again right around the time AAD resurfaced...so I asked him about two years ago to do a tape and he just recently surprised me with the recordings and then finished it off with great artwork...another bucket list release for sure.
Straight to tape live electronics that came out lo-fi yet very punishing, with relentless fried and fuzzed out high tones.
