KAKTUS KARUKA – Demo 09
What happens when a great band breaks up? Most just fade away. Others stand up and start something new. The latter was the case when Chokecocoi broke up. Without a question, the best all-female hardcore outfit that ever graced the Philippine soil. When they broke up, Tweety started Staid (see review) while Odessa and Sheryl started a brand new thrash outfit called KAKTUS KARUKA. When I saw them play last Sunday, I said to myself, fuck yeah, these guys got it going! All out fast thrash all over the fuckn place.
This is their 8-song demo which never lets up. No slow breaks here. It’s just fast and faster hardcore. I think Sheryl’s voice has grown throughout the years and it shows in this demo. Recorded live, the quality needs a little more to desire but this demo is f’n awesome. The packaging was very nicely done too. Screen printed cardboard and CD-R. The inlay features a nice fold-out piece of paper with nice artwork and lyrics. How can you go wrong with song titles such as “Dog God” and “Demokrazy”. It’s the season for new bands to pop out of the woodwork so keep your eyes and ears peeled for this one. www.myspace.com/kaktuskaruka, kaktuskaruka@gmail.com.
