NASTY (bel/ger)
Belgian-German aggro punk outfit Nasty (stylized as NASTY) bomb-drop their new album, Heartbreak Criminals, via Century Media. The quartet—featuring Nash (drums), Paddy (guitars), Berry (bass), and Matthi (vocals)—follow-up Menace (2020) even more pissed off and with even more love in their hearts. Tracks like “Resurrection” and “Don’t Play with Fire” illustrate Nasty’s growth as artists while continuing to hold the flag of “f*cked-up music for a f*cked-up world” high. Indeed, re-recording old-school, fan-favorite tracks "Declaring War” and “Chaos," both off 2006's Declaring War, connects Nasty's brow-beaten dots from the beginning to who the group are today. Heartbreak Criminals a sonic life lesson of fist-fights lost and battles hard won. Nasty are perseverance.
