I received this fine little 3 song EP called Turk Street from San Francisco’s Kowloon Walled City a few days ago in my e-mail and I’ve been listening to it off and on for the past few days on the computer. It was mentioned in the e-mail that Kowloon Walled City is intended to be no-frills, undecorated, and heavy. If that is indeed the intention then I believe that they've definitely achieved that, in my opinion. Kowloon Walled City is pretty much everything that I enjoy about sludgy bottom heavy rock. Although it’s only three songs to go by, these guys are batting a 1.000 so far, there is nothing to dislike about these tunes as they are crushing. According to singer/guitarist Scott Evans the band has plans to hopefully release a full-length some time this spring through Evans’ own label Wordclock Records. If so, then I’ll definitely be looking forward to hearing it.
