Kremlin has become kind of a legend in Toronto in the North American hardcore scene more broadly both because of their incredible musicianship, and because like any band of a similarly legendary tier, they finished before they even started. The band, composed of members of Molested Youth and School Jerks, started in 2011, and put out two demos that year of devastating, skeletal hardcore that sounded like a perfect cross between USHC and Swedish d-beat. In 2012, this gem of a 7" came on on Germany's excellent Hardware Records, with 410 copies pressed on black vinyl, and another 110 pressed on white vinyl, each numbered with a stamp on the inside of the sleeve. Will You Feed Me? is an interesting release, as it signifies a departure from the sound on Kremlin's demos which was decidedly restrained and minimal toward a noisy and characteristically uncontrollable raw punk sound. Following this release, Kremlin released an LP, and certainly their most bizarre release, the Last Last EP cassette, which featured two heartstoppingly brilliant instrumental jams that sounded more akin to Hüsker Dü than the Shitlickers, and broke up at the same show the EP was sold at. Will You Feed Me? was reissued in 2013 and 200 more copies were pressed on white vinyl. Do yourself a favour and buy this record.
