Review Roundup: Hoax, Dawn Of Humans, Anasazi, Kremlin, and Brain Fever

Brain Fever – La Luna
Follow @hearwax Hoax – 3rd 7” By now, Hoax are pretty notorious for their blackened-weirdo-anthemic hardcore, or whatever you want to call it; probably even more so, for leaving showgoers bloodied after their performances.
