flub - s/t

flub. what a strange name. i didn't know the translation when i first read the title of just another artisan era records release. my research brought up the result that it means similar to a big mistake - still a strange name. when i visited the tube to check them out i found two videos. the first one showed the members performing in white shirts in front of white bed sheets. i really began to wonder.
the next video showed the members in front of the same bed sheets but this time in colourful hawaiian shirts. on top of this the vocalist looks like zach de la rocha and the weird feeling about this band reached its climax. alright, put aside all those admittedly odd appearances and what is left? solid deathcore that feels like it was made in the mid 00's with an proggy edge to it.
all this is very enjoyable because the band knows how to surprise. when you think you know what flub is about, they are coming with another bizarre twist round the corner. great debut that doesn't bore with too much detail. short and crisp! i ordered at jpc.de without knowing what colour-way i would get. i was really happy when i unwrapped the coolest. pink with light blue and purple splatter. 100 copies made. artisan era. 2019.
