Replica’s Beast EP is the second release from this Oakland hardcore punk band. The quartet, led by dynamic singer Dharma Mooney, continues fueling their sound with urgency and speed. The songs, driven by an edge of early 80’s So-Cal hardcore and early 90’s East Bay punk energy, is full of literary references and anarchic attitude in traditional punk length: The EP lasts less than nine minutes. Play it loud.

RIYL: Interior 27, Pagan Piss, No Statik, Infect (Brazil), and Permanent Ruin.
