COLD RED MUTE - Kindness CD (2017)

The name says mute. The record does not.

Melbourne's COLD RED MUTE exist somewhere in the uncomfortable space between punk, metal, and the kind of rock that sounds like it was recorded under fluorescent lights at 2am. Kindness is not a gentle album. It's psychotropic punk in the truest sense, genre-blurring in a way that feels deliberate rather than accidental, the kind of dark, unsettled Australian alternative music that doesn't fit neatly on a shelf anywhere, which is exactly why it's here. The Melbourne underground has always made room for bands that don't fit, and this is one of them.
