Brand new 2 song flexi from this (semi) local hardcore punk outfit. Limited to 250 copies total! Our take: A brand new two-and-a-half minute explosion from one of my favorite current hardcore bands, North Carolina’s own Public Acid. If you’re a fan of their killer LP from last year (and a lot of us are!) you’ll need this brief but essential addendum. 152 Seconds is Public Acid’s first recording with their current live lineup (their guitarist Kai played both guitar and bass on the LP), and the sound is denser and more chaotic. While the record is brief, I’m not sure I could take it being any longer because, by the end of these two tracks, my heart rate is elevated and I feel like I’ve been sprinting for all 152 seconds. I swear this record is so exciting that I catch myself forgetting to breathe while I’m listening. Also, I want to note that while flexis have a reputation for sounding bad, this sounds incredible, and just as good as any hard vinyl record in my collection. I suppose I understand not wanting to shell out for such a short record, but 3.2894737 cents per second of Public Acid is a bargain in my book, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll play this at least four times in a row every time it hits the turntable.
