Fake Shark — Real Zombie!

I did­n’t know about this appeal­ing­ly scruffy Van­cou­ver punk band until just now. Lis­ten­ing to their 2008 debut album Zebra! Zebra!, I can hear a log­i­cal descen­dant of old Van­cou­ver punk bands like Skin­ny Pup­py, which I was very fond of in the 1980’s. There’s a sub­stan­tial tech­no influ­ence, and much more rhyth­mic and struc­tur­al com­plex­i­ty, but the mood they pro­duce is as punky as any­thing done in the Archa­ic Punkal Age. The drum­ming is to the click, the vocals harsh, but not irritating.
