"Houston hardcore band Mexican Cokestirred up buzz in the hardcore scene after building up a reputation for wearing bank robber ski masks and waving a shotgun around on stage at their shows, and now they’ve signed to Convulse Records (MSPAINT, Gel, Militarie Gun) for a new self-titled EP." - Brooklyn Vegan
There’s little available information about Techie Blood, the new hardcore band that features members of Stressors and Cudgel, other than its 2 abrasive mixtapes. The short recordings were uploaded to a mysterious YouTube channel called Guy Fieri Official, and the bandcamp page labeled ledzeppelinofficial. Techie Blood’s music is punchy, fast, and violent, with distorted, steely instrumentation that culminates in a barrage of noise. Though their first demo sounds mechanized and industrial, it ends with a washed-out, distorted beat that strangely evokes R&B. Techie Blood’s extreme name and aesthetic resonates with the anti-gentrification current in the Bay Area’s rock scene, with many bands reacting to the region’s skyrocketing cost of living with aggressive, angry music that departs from the garage-pop of years past.
