D.I.

Rip-roaringly riotous hardcore punk from a band who were there at the start! Angry Samoans are aggressive, exhilarating and undeniably fun, helping to establish the sound of a genre which defines so many people's lives to this day. Angry Samoans have been controversial from day one, getting blacklisted from all LA venues after releasing a track berating a famous DJ, arguing for his departure ("Get Off The Air!"). They have released four studio albums in their career, with each one exploring new territory within the hardcore genre. Live, they bound around the stage with endless energy as Mike Saunders spits out his satirical verse upon a begging audience. Guitars screech and wail and pound out endless power chords in a frenzy of destruction. Drums rip apart ear drums as Bill Vockeroth pummels out thunderous beats. It is nothing short of a whirlwind, a tornado of endless riffs and roaring vocals. Despite being together for over twenty years, they still have the potential to cause a riot, best experienced in a small venue loud. Whilst they haven't made any new releases in recent years, they continue to perform. Perhaps soon a new album will surface, reinstating their punk credibility to a new generation of fans of hardcore.
