Henan noise rockers The Columbian Cola Ltd., one of the most fiercely original and unhinged acts, return to throw listeners into the deep end of delirium with their infectious cock-eyed swirl of surf rock, psychedelic, garage rock, shoegaze, and lo-fi noise pop. They essentially weaponize noise pop (and to a degree shoegaze) against listeners - turning a catchy jangle-filled melody into an assault on the ears - its chord progression becoming more frantic and the reverb turning into some diabolical form of harsh noise. The band is hitting the road for their latest tour, and they’ve tapped a great guest - Serious Desperado - the young emo noise rockers inject their whirlwind sound with hard-edged angst, muscular musicality, and a youthful vulnerability that’s both heedless and sincere.
