With six tracks that leave you in tatters, Anxiety Driven Nervous Worship, the debut EP from the Plaque Marks, is a primal force to be reckoned with. Available on vinyl via Learning Curve Records and CD courtesy of Reptilian Records, the short selection from the supergroup of local heavyweights exhibits a relentless, haunting, rhythmic and vocal snarl. That chainsaw-grinding tension and power looms, before boiling over the surface in ominous, heart-pumping sludge. Kung Fu Necktie will play host to the band’s EP release show on Wednesday, November 15, with additional support from Bardus, Rubber, and Buildings. (Photo by Dan Torrieri)
