They’re Bad Brains meets Faith No More meets A$AP Rocky. Album is coming Friday (stream below) cosigns from Metallica, Mike D, Dillinger Escape Plan, Faith No More, Dave Sitek (produced some of the album). They have one of the most captivating live shows I’ve seen. Their sxsw Boiler Room set this year is in my top 3.

With a live drummer, grinding electronics and the intense screamo co-vocals of Eaddy and theOGM, the trio conjured Bad Brains, Big Black, Rob Zombie and Black Flag. Ho99o9’s set was revelatory. Flailing across the stage and into the pit, the singers exuded complete control of their noise and vision. Just when you thought they couldn’t expend any more energy, Eaddy ended the set with a back flip — an expression of the musical liberation they’d achieved. – NPR
With two rappers backed by electronics and a drummer, the songs leaped through decades worth of gut-punching sounds — slow subwoofer-abusing hip-hop, death metal, thrash, wriggly synthesizer tones, punk, post-punk, some splotches of pink noise — as waveforms flashed and strobed on a video screen and the rappers jumped all around the stage; one did a flip. Ho99o9 was a welcome charge of adrenaline. – NEW YORK TIMES
