Molecular Genetics From the Gold Standard Labs is 44 tracks of hardto-find and out-of-print material from the early years of the Locust.
San Diego legends the Locust have been blowing minds since 1994
with their unique mix of grindcore speed and aggression, mathcore
complexity, and new wave weirdness. The band quickly earned a
reputation for their unique sound and live presentations;
singer/bassist Justin Pearson claims, "I wanted to change the way
people perceive music, or maybe just destroy it in general.” A
veritable “Who's Who” of punk royalty – everyone from
Tristeza/Album Leaf/GoGoGo Airheart/Crimson Curse's Jimmy
LaValle, to Tarantula Hawk's Dave Warshaw and Dylan Scharf, and
Cattle Decapitation's David Astor – have gone in and out of the band's
turnstile. In the process they have created a singular body of work,
and an important piece of that appears on Molecular Genetics From
the Gold Standard Labs, collecting for the first time all of the band’s
pre-Epitaph recordings.
