VIVID SEKT – Who Protects Us From Ourselves? – EP

Three new tracks from rarely-recorded Portland band comprised of members of Arctic Flowers and Moral Hex. This sounds like it was very much influenced by early ‘80s UK anarcho punk, with things leaning more towards the sensibilities of quasi-goth punkers like The Mob than the more martial beats of Crass or Dirt. Lyrics are intelligent and poetic while keeping their point in focus. Now a three-piece with bassist Anya handling main vocals and Alex (Arctic Flowers) keeping the melody strong alongside dual vocals and solid drumming. Youtube
