K.K. Rampage keep the room unsafe on All Wet Arsonist

K.K. Rampage are clearly not in the business of making polite little guitar songs for brand mood boards. All Wet Arsonist (Demo), released on 3 June from Piss In A Cup, Feed It To Your Mother, continues the Chicago band’s commitment to noise rock, post-punk, punk and weird-pop abrasion. The appeal here is not refinement. It is attitude, damage and refusal. There is still value in music that sounds like it might get kicked out of the venue before the second drink is served. All Wet Arsonist has that demo-state intensity, where the roughness becomes part of the message rather than something to apologise for. After years of algorithmic rock trying to be tasteful, a band like K.K. Rampage feels almost useful in its unpleasantness. They are not asking to be liked. They are asking whether the room can handle being made uncomfortable.
