SCALP

SCALP is a raw, bludgeoning powerviolence band hailing from Los Angeles serving up politically charged audio terrorism since their 2020 formation. Known for merciless 30-second tracks and mosh call lyricism, this chaotic crew delivers scathing critiques of modern capitalism, police violence, and social decay through their signature blend of crust punk ferocity and metal-adjacent breakdowns. Their 2023 album *Black Tar* and subsequent EPs like *DOMESTIC EXTREMITY* cement their reputation for hyper-compressed aggression, combining power electronics with blastbeat pummel across tracks that rarely outlast a microwave timer.

The band maintains a confrontational DIY ethos through self-released digital drops and limited-run tape offerings, their recorded output maintaining the grime of their notoriously destructive live shows. Recent releases like *EGODEATH* and *LUCID INTERVAL* show slight expansion into sludge territories while keeping their lyrical focus sharp on systemic failures and personal collapse. SCALP's discography functions as both primal scream therapy and revolutionary call-to-arms, delivered in bite-sized chunks of maximum sonic density.
