God dammit, the problem with rock and roll these days is that everyone just buys their instruments from a fracking music store. Whatever happened to pride in craftsmanship? Whatever happened to DIY? Remember when people actually had to build their own instruments, back in…uh…1287?

Thank god for the installation art nerds in Boston’s Neptune, who have no time for such frivolity and foolishness as “shopping” or “visiting music stores,” well, because they build their own instruments out of scrap metal. SCRAP METAL, you shits. You want “industrial?” They got it right here:

Jesus H, you could put an eye out with that thing.

Neptune are hitting the road on Feb. 28th in support of their abrasive new face-scraper Gong Lake. Neptune’s songs are as cold, unyielding, and disarming as their instruments–and obviously, the show is something to witness live. That sass is in the main:
