Thoughts & Prayers (Bang Bang)EP
ruff.feechers is the first solo project of Ashish "Hash" Vyas. Hash, who has thrashed out noise rock roots from the late 90's San Diego music scene playing in GoGoGo Airheart (GSL Records) before graduating to the groove laden hip stars, Thievery Corporation for the following decade and a half.
Ever indebted to the groove, ruff.feechers takes these experiences as well as other opportunities he's had like playing with Angelo Moore's Brand New Step (Fishbone) and filling in with bands that play reggae, jazz, punk and roots rock and has twisted them into his own brand of indie tinged dance punk.
Opening up the EP is Shady Side of Centredale. In his best one man band paying respect to the likes of Suicide, this track works as an biographical document of shady business that happens on city streets nationwide.
Where Wasting Time feels angelic and dreamy with moments lost in the chaos of a fever dream. Closing out the release is the title track Bang Bang. A poignant piece taking all the elements of a messy political scene and mixing it all together in a Maggot Brain-eque chaotic montage.
Again, ruff.feechers keeping true to the groove, keeps the party rolling with beats and the same visual assault Hash has come to be known for.
Psychic Static is honored to have ruff.feechers debut EP, Bang Bang(Thoughts & Prayers) available for streaming on all platforms December 11, 2024.
