Cheetah Chrome Motherfuckers were probably Italy's first hardcore band, and like their early 80s American counterparts, they did it sloppy, fast, and without much thought. They way it should be. "400 Fascists" is part Void, part Germs, and thoroughly vile throughout. The lo-fi production and choppy beats must have been an influence on modern NYC mutant-punk; CCM sound as urgent as Crazy Spirit and as belligerently primitive as Dawn of Humans. Their follow up, "Furious Party", is a slightly more polished piece of mysterious-guy hardcore, but this debut EP is dripping with the the kind of energy that has only recently resurfaced in the form of Toxic State Records.
