Five hours is the duration of a popular energy shot. It’s also the time it took for the Buzzcocks to record and mix their 1977 release Spiral Scratch. For a quick fix of energy, the Buzzcocks deliver way more caffeine. After listening to their four tracks of disjointed, energetic, punk-rock awesomeness I am wide awake and thrumming.

I get that same sensation from Liquids.

Liquids is an Indiana punk band whose first release is Ruff Demo: a classic disorderly collection of abbreviated punky tunes. Just five minutes long, Ruff Demo is ear-meltingly fast and packs in enough high-pitched guitar bending and nasal-shouting vocals to please any ’77 punk fanboy.

With a quick, plucky opening bass line on “Untitled” and pounding, puncturing drum fills on “Swarm,” the band’s rhythm section is an assaultive blend of speed and anger. The guitar fluctuates between rapidly switching bar chords and nimble junkyard solos. The song “Fire” is a flea market mismatch of drumbeats and guitar rhythms shifting constantly between perfect sync and total dysfunction. Repetitive silences somehow stitch it all together. Only in great punk can chaos and harmony coexist.

Lyrical complexity is not Liquids’ thing. On Ruff Demo the lead singer yells the same words over and over at different pitches and with varying degrees of rage. On “Ants” he chants “Ants, ants, ants, ants, woah, woah, woah, woah.” There’s also a song called “Swarm.” I sense a bug problem in this band’s past.

Ruff Demo is four little gems of pure punk adrenaline. Take a hit and set your tired blood coursing.
