Gerty Parrish

Gerty Parrish Bulks Up

Load

Think of the loudest, most in-your-face hardcore/punk band you know. Now take away all their instruments except a guitar and cheap fuzz pedal, and give them a casio keyboard and ’80s vintage drum machine. Voila! Gerty Parrish. Churning cliche sound sources and aggressive music results in some potent curdling, but if you can withstand the sheer power of a single-note synth lead over a pounding beat, this is your Excedrin. Not for the faint of heart. Load Records, P.O. Box 35, Providence, RI 02901
