You’d be hard-pressed to dig up an uglier, meaner, more mean-spirited band than El Dopa. Certainly not that other El Dopa from Boston. This El Dopa crept up from Oakland like some Devonian creature crawling on land for the first time. They existed briefly in the mid-1990s, oozing bad vibes that hinged heavily on a skuzzy early Neurosis punk roar and gloomy lyrics detailing suicidal, drug-addled and humanity-hating rage.
Though they figured into the Gilman scene and featured members from the decidedly more life-affirming bands Econochrist, Grimple and Samiam, El Dopa sound like they hate you, hate themselves and hate the veil of conscience that stands between staying in and shooting up, or climbing a bell tower and shooting you.
With that in mind, it makes sense that „singer” Greg Valencia yowls and screeches like Eyehategod’s Mike Williams. There’s a fair amount of that band’s tortured squall in El Dopa. Both exude agony and an unhealthy preoccupation with self-destruction. But neither band would sound quite the same or even exist were it not for their vices and lack of virtues.
