Despite the fact that they’re nestled all the way in the southwestern
corner of the US (Phoenix to be exact), it’s likely that Gay Kiss has
visited your town sometime in the past few years. They’re a touring
machine, and the band’s remarkable work ethic is apparent on this, their
second full-length release and first for Sorry State. When a band plays
this much they get a tightness and cohesiveness that you just can’t
fake, and indeed Hoax are probably Gay Kiss’s only rivals in riding a
pit-clearing groove. More than just a particularly tasty salad of mosh
riffs, though, Preservation Measures is dense, complex, and
ambitious, melding the best parts of skewed punk like Rudimentary Peni,
forward-thinking hardcore like Double Negative, and ambitious yet heavy
90s noise rock into a sound that is 100% their own.
