Stream Life Is Hate's New EP

Napier hardcore punks Life is Hate have released a new, deliberately untitled EP of eight tracks of noisy DIY mayhem. The EP was self-recorded and inspired by UK band Die - from whom the band take their name.

“In terms of the lyrics it’s all extreme frustration and being paranoid and wanting to punch all the people who fuck us off on a daily basis at work etc. Instead of starting fights and getting in trouble we play d-beat hardcore” said vocalist Matt Szwed of the subject matter.

The tape is available soon through local label Manifestation Music and comes in a ziplock bag with a risograph-printed tape sleeve, insert, sticker badge and “sneaky surprise”. Listen below...
