We hope that this EP will stand as a document, not only of what we’ve done but also of those who helped us along our way. Styles clash and collide as the days bleed together and cities come and go, yet through the chaos, a common theme appears, one of the kindness of strangers and the power of community. Each track recounts a unique moment, a shared joke, or a crystallized emotion inspired by the people we met, the bands we played with, and the cities we visited. 33 songs speed by in under 10 minutes, one for every city we played. Sudámerica Ruido y Amor is about that trip. The tour became too much to take in all at once, it’s totality became a blur, while each individual memory burnt itself into our minds and our hearts. As the days flew by, each felt like a lifetime, each city a whole world onto itself. We may have even learned something about the world, each other, and ourselves. We met amazing people and fell in love, with new friends, and with life. We got tired and worn down, we fought and got sick, yet had no choice except to continue.
We got free tattoos, free CDs, and free beer. We played with amazing bands in cities we’d never even heard of before. An utterly DIY tour that we’d planned and booked ourselves we slept on floors, played in houses, in squats, in burnt out buildings, anti-fascist boxing gyms, and on the street.
It was a tour we’d dreamed about, some of us for years others for just the past six months, excited about new places to explore and new people to meet, different languages and different cultures. Today, we’re unveiling a power pack of 33 ultra fast micro songs about their last year’s South American tour, with each song written about a different city they played every night! “ Sudamérica Ruido y Amor” comes out on July 5th via Chinese label Genjing Records, but you can hear it in its entirety right now!ģ3 shows in 37 days, the numbers seemed unreal as we set off screaming through 7 countries, crossing an entire continent. Email Brutally fun powerviolence / fastcore Beijing punks STRUGGLE SESSION are obviously having fun doing their thing and they are about to transfer more wild energy to the audience.
