Valuing punk rock authenticity, Disaster Artist consistently achieves a raw, live sound on their recordings. Right out of the gate, on the speedy, frantic “Weaponize,” the band’s vocalist makes an immediate impact with a whole variety of gutteral grunts and vomits.  The drummer is relentless and keeps it all from collapse. “White T-Shirt” is just as speedy, and its guitar tones and textures (along with a heavy fuzz bass) make a strong impression. Unexpectedly, the band has an instrumental in its arsenal, “Twin-headed Dragon,” that spotlights each of the band’s members for what amounts to a solo showdown that’s something of a punk-fueled jam.  Clearly, the band set out to avoid any hint of slickness and that aim is achieved.
