Let’s gut it out with Imelda Marcos.
I mean it, because we’ll have to. We brace
ourselves, we hang in there, we are bombarded, we survive. Just like the real
Marcos herself, hidden in plain site, rolling in a Scrooge McDuck fortune
likely obtained just as illegally as the so-called “Mallard Baron’s,” we are
beset on all sides, and we must use the armor at our disposal.
Imelda Marcos the duo, Matt and Dave, just as
corrupt, just as rich (or is that the opposite?), sling “Tatlo,” their
masterpiece, at the forces hell-bent on bringing them down. Swimming through
their vault of gold coins amassed due to the second printing of this cassette
(first one black shell; second one yellow!), the boys shred guitars and pummel
drums and punch angst in the face with magnificent release.
Hey, Bandcamp user stanimosity may have done me
a solid by calling out Battles, Don Cab, and Bitch Magnet as Imelda Marcos
influences, and I can’t disagree with him. The former first lady of the Philippines
SHOULD have great taste with all that money! Because money buys great taste, am
I right?
“Tatlo,” people. “Tatlo.” Play it well, play it
often, wear it out.
