N8NOFACE has been described as a Chicano Flannery O’Connor playing chiptune Ministry, the Sleaford Mods of the American Southwest, Suicide for the 21st Century and Ghostmane meets darkwave synthpunk dashed with early Ween’s glue-huffing pop. Lyrically, his sometimes romantic, oftentimes violent storytelling tunes lean toward Narcocorrido, the bloody ballads of Mexican drug cartels. It sounds dark on the surface, but really N8NOFACE’s music is a lot of fun, and as exciting and cathartic as the birth of punk rock and hiphop.
Sharing the split is Justin Pearson (Dead Cross, Deaf Club, The Locust), Luke Henshaw (Sonido de la Frontera), Kevin Avery (Field Day, Retox) and Scott Osment (Deaf Club, Glassing) who formed Planet B with the shared purpose of creating music subversive in sound and sobering in message. Their music is rooted in hip hop, hardcore punk, turntablism, and 70s-80s horror movie scores. Throughout the band's existence, they have been consistently collaborating with influential artists suchs as Kool Keith, Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Martin Atkins (ex-PiL, Killing Joke, Ministry, Pigface), ADULT. and Invisibl Skratch Piklz, among many others. For this release, Planet B creates alongside Ms.BOAN (Medio Mutante, //TENSE//) moody, mysterious & experimental, visionary synth-pop legend Mariana A Saldaña brings to the collaboration the stormy emotions of coldwave, the ecstatic energy of EBM, and influences absorbed through her Mexican-American heritage. Serving up intense dance-pop, Ms.BOAN performs with a dramatic, emotional spirit.
This 7” split will be available digitally as well as on limited edition color vinyl in two variants, “bloodshot eyeball” and “half battery.” Digital version has the remix bonus track of N8NOFACE’s “Makes Me Wanna Scream (Planet B Remix)".
