OUST – Rather be a fuck up LP

The cities of Nijmegen, Rome and Amsterdam have been chosen by fate to host one of the most promising current hardcore bands around. OUST is the name chosen for the group, to expel, to purge something from the body… rage, hate… all the things that make us feel unhappy in these dark days. With the rhythm of frenetic drums that shift between speed and mid-tempo, impossible guitar riffs, and inherent bass lines forming the solid foundation of a voice full of hate and many things to say, OUST delivers contemporary hardcore in its purest form. Drawing from the long Dutch tradition of this sound, they make it their own across 7 anguishing, claustrophobic, sometimes noisy and experimental tracks, yet always direct and raw in their consistency. That’s Rather Be a Fuck Up, with art by the living genius Mateo Correal, including a fanzine printed in risograph with lyrics, texts, and artwork.
