German noisy, grungy garage punks MALFUNC PRISM have dropped their debut EP and it’s surely is no disappointment. “Ritalin for the Masses” sounds like a self-abusive record that crawls slowly just to go back to writhing with fury, and spitting ugly outbursts of controlled noise. Drawing from the likes of NIRVANA, BIKINI KILL, and THE DISTILLERS, MALFUNC PRISM still have a lot to do to go beyond their lo-fi sound and become a unique figure with a clear vision and identity, but it’s a fine start for a fresher.
