I'll admit it. When it comes to wearing sick punk t-shirts of bands I've never heard of, I am the worst offender. It's just that hardcore artwork is so amazingly crap, in the best possible way. These bands were using sardonic humour way before irony became a thing and they still do it better than anyone else.

Ever been so pissed off it makes your gut want to lurch or your body want to launch out the window? Evidently so has Extortion, if their albums are anything to go by. Following up their 2008 full-length release Sick (with the vomit-coloured vinyl alone making it worth the purchase), Loose Screws is another physical representation of where these WA malcontents' heads are.

With a bunch of releases, several East Coast tours and a trip to the states under their belts, it's fairly safe to say that local powerviolence dudes, Extortion, have been keeping things frantic the last 12 months. Watch them match that pace, maybe even kick up the BPMs, as they launch latest album Loose Screws.

SixThousand is a subcultural guide to Perth, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Perth writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence SixThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
