Contrabandist Vol. 1 (Vault Curiosities: 2015-2023)

by Richard Edwards

supported by

natel0ve Freezer Burn. it’s a song you could put on repeat for an hour or two, maybe more. Richard’s and Rhett’s voices complement each other beautifully. the lyrics are the epitome of Richard Edwards style lyrics. nobody else could write a song like this.
the entire album is so beautiful and the combination of songs we’ve heard before and songs we haven’t makes it a very interesting listen. this is the good stuff right here. i’m absolutely excited for volume two. Favorite track: Freezer Burn - w/Rhett Miller.

Found this while searching up the “ grindcore “ tag . Probdbly the greatest grindcore album I’ve ever heard , next too carcass’ sickness . Then I learned this was Richard’s first band and got even more excited seeing that Margot & the Nukes is one of my all time favorite old school death metal bands !!!! Either way this is a super cool and fun listen if you love Richard and Margot , regardless of being into grindcore or not there’s a lot of other genres in this , I hear a lot of 90s post grunge Sean Hampton
