AKKA

I really hate when I fall in love with a newer band, only to find they've just recently broken up.  Sighhh..AKKA was an all-female crusty hardcore band from Shikoku Island, Japan.  I guess they were mainly active during the 2000s? Their particular style of punk on their sole 7", 5 Songs, is just so unreservedly brutal and dark...the song structures are heavy, melodic, and are pushed as hard as they can be pushed and the desperation in the music and vocals is authentic and powerful.  Thanks AKKA, I know I'll be listening to this record many many times over.
