"Evil Taste" is a CD release by Rich Taste that delivers a dark, driving blend of modern rock and underground punk energy. Across the album, the band explores themes of temptation, urban nightlife, and the fine line between pleasure and self-destruction, wrapped in gritty guitar work, powerful rhythms, and catchy, sinister hooks. The production emphasizes rawness and immediacy, making the songs feel like live-club anthems that balance melody with aggression. "Evil Taste" is aimed at listeners who enjoy intense, guitar-driven sounds with a slightly decadent, nocturnal atmosphere and a consistently high energy level from start to finish. Rich Taste present themselves here as a band rooted in the DIY spirit of underground rock scenes, combining tight musicianship with a clear sense of attitude and style. Their songwriting focuses on concise, memorable choruses and dynamic arrangements that build tension and release, making the tracks suitable both for attentive listening and for party or club settings. The group has built its profile through energetic live shows and a growing following in niche rock and alternative circles, positioning "Evil Taste" as a statement of their uncompromising aesthetic. The CD format underlines the album character of "Evil Taste": a coherent, carefully sequenced listening experience rather than just a loose song collection. Listeners can expect a clear sonic identity, with recurring motifs and moods that make the album feel like a complete narrative arc, from its opening tracks' immediate impact to the more brooding, atmospheric moments toward the end. The release is handled by Crazy Love / Cargo, a label and distributor known for supporting distinctive, often underground-oriented guitar music and niche subgenres. Their catalog focuses on artists who cultivate a strong identity and loyal fanbase rather than chasing short-lived trends. With "Evil Taste," Crazy Love / Cargo once again underline their commitment to authentic, characterful releases that appeal to collectors and aficionados who value physical formats, solid production, and consistency in artistic vision.
