Listen To Mandate's Self-Titled Debut EP
Blasting super city punters with an ultra-aggressive set at Full Noise 2023 over the Easter long weekend, Ōtepoti hardcore punk four-piece Mandate's new self-titled debut collection feels not unlike the sonic equivalent of a finishing move from Mortal Kombat. Mind-bogglingly frenzied and bone-crushingly heavy guitars, hammering percussion and inhuman yowls slap listeners around over 14 breakneck tracks delivered with admirable commitment to aural intensity — bearing such titles as 'Angry Man', 'Egotesticle' and 'Sad Flex'. Including members from Long Distance Runner, Cuck and Electric Mayhem, you can cop a cassette edition of Mandate's new EP HERE and experience their live onslaught with special guests galore firsthand at the following dates — kicking off tonight at their hometown's Yours with Night Lunch, Dale Kerrigan and Fairuza...
