BEATCRAVE FAV: The Mae Shi
If one were to combine nerds with ADD and rebels who aren’t posers, then feed them PCP, the result would be Los Angeles’ spastic punk band, The Mae Shi. Perfect for the digital clip generation, The Mae Shi write songs that are short enough for a person with the most severe case of attention-deficit disorder, yet contain impressive craftsmanship. With vocals sounding like they’ll be damaged any minute, unwarranted drumming, hysterical guitar riffs, and disorganized song structures that are frustrating because one can’t follow but love because it’s just salacious chaos, this band yields an awesome “holy shit” from any listener.
Check out The Mae Shi in our new BEATCRAVE FAV series where we pick one awesome band a day, give you all the details you could ever want, and then let you vote for you favorite pick every Friday.
