Fuck Patrol — Contact

Fuck Patrol is an transatlantic harsh noise collaboration between two gay ‘n’ proud noise artists, and “contact” is the projects first sonic fruits. The two piece  brings together Texas noise legend and multi project linked Richard Ramirez, and Irish based Mark Ward of  quirky harsh noise/HNW project Where is This  & owner of excellent Irish noise label Bored Bear.

This first release comes in the form of a 3inch CDR which features three tracks that hit between just over the three minute mark to just shy of ten minute mark a piece- with the two longer tracks been wrapped around middle short three minute track. The projects sound really is a nice mix of both parties sounds with Ramirez thick and seared noise textures raging against Wards quirky & sometimes harmonic bound noise craft. The tracks here are a rewarding mixture of harsh noise, brutal industrial texturing, a few active HNW dwells, mashed up and melted easy listening harmonic trails, and gay porn movie samples.

All told “Contact” is a rewarding and worthy start to this new project, and I’m sure it will be of interest to fans of Ramirez more active Harsh noise work and Wards quirky yet brutal noise attacks.
