Impulse on Banadcamp

[medjuck]

I've noticed a couple of releases from Impulse on Bandcamp.  What's up with that?  (I'm not complaining.)

Makes sense to make their releases available on a platform and retail outlet that is very widely used

Impulse (as a search term) doesn’t seem to bring back any albums.  Would you share some examples of what you saw?  Thanks!!

The Messthetics are described as "Washington DC’s experimental jazz punk trio". I don't think I'd go that far but whatever it is, it's not for me.

I love the cover - classic Impulse.  Music, not sure yet.  Thanks for the link.

So I did a quick dive into this and apparently this description comes from two of the members of Messthetics being former members of the punk band Fugazi (which I only have passing knowledge of).

Yes, that's correct. Messthetics are bass/drums from Fugazi plus Anthony Pirog on guitar. It's an interesting combination of progressive loud rock and jazz. Not for everybody, but I like it. Saw them at Big Ears, too. Very high energy.
