East LA duo exhibits rare, raw energy on self-titled EP
On their long-awaited first official offering, East Los Angeles-based PLEZZURE – consisting of Andres "Dres" Huerta and Juan "Bunchie" Vera – fuse electropunk and breaks like it's second nature. Their self-titled EP boils over with grimy, raw, scene-stealing energy.
Throughout the brisk fifteen-minute runtime, filthy strings and blistering synths crash into frenzied beats, creating a white-hot explosion of angst, rage, and discontent. With proclamations like "Fuck The System," "Death 2 La Migra" and "$nake," it's not hard to decipher PLEZZURE's worldview. EP closer "Vampire" delivers a surprisingly apt dip into darkwave and deathpop.
Sends a clear and unflinching message, as PLEZZURE speaks out against the violence ICE has been carrying out in their East LA community.
