Keep On Keeping On...

It's time to speed things up again. You may know Tokyo's incendiary ensemble, NK6, from their Yellow Beauty" 7" or their split with Dudman. If you do, then you also know that the Gauze influence is not subtle (they aren't shy about announcing Fugu's role in producing their records), nor is the blazing fast hardcore they produce or the terse lyrics they disgorge. The "Keep On Keeping On" 12" is a fantastic piece of thrashing mad Japanese hardcore that I can't recommend enough to the speed freaks out there. The North American version (Deranged Records) is pictured and ripped here, but there's another version here with different cover art. Thanks a ton to Punk Dinner blog for posting Kanji song titles for so many great Japanese bands! His/her/their work made tagging the violent and noisy little masterpiece below a lot easier. So if you don't have NK6's Bloodsucker Records 7", it's in the folder too (at 320... etc.).





Get 'em here

Yeah awesome thanks for posting this. I saw these guys rip it up playing with Gauze in the Yokohama F.A.D back in 2001.
Ive had the vinyl of this for a while so its great to get a rip.
Cheers

I found my mistake in track editing... sorry for the inconvenience (I didn't cut "Never Say Die" and "Poser" in the right place on the 12"). So the new .rar should be right. Let me know if I screwed anything else up!
