About this set
TOOLS OF THE TRADE are an established grindcore band based in Kuala Lumpur, founded in 2004. A favourite among old-heads and curious youngsters, Tools of the Trade have toured around Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Europe over the years, and have recently completed a Japan tour as well. Since their founding, TOOLS OF THE TRADE have been relentlessly productive with the music, having released three full-length albums in various formats, and two EPs. Their music is described as a “face down in shit” grindcore blended well with hardcore punk. Their songs are strongly influenced by contemporary political situations, socio-anarchy, and oppression in daily life.
