Admit You're Shit (A.Y.S.)

 

Admit You're Shit (A.Y.S.) technically came out of the 80s Anarcho-Punk scene but they have little in common. They play a brutal combination of US Hardcore (including a cover of the Minor Threat classic "In My Eyes"!) with anti-political vocals that keep you awake at night. And they do a pretty good job of it too! A.Y.S. haves some ludicrously quick Punk parts with ranting vocals but shows a great deal of technical ability with a pretty good production quality. This band manages to play fast and well without merging Metal or any other UK82 features into the sound. I've never heard anything remotely like it and the US influences show just as much as their UK ones. Expect no mercy in what is one of the most under-represented and under-appreciated Punk band ever!

(As a really sad fact i have to add that the singer of A.Y.S. came far off the track (after the band split up) and joined the british BNP (British National Party)... where he still poisons minds to this day.)
