Culo (with the double dot above the 'u') and sriracha. for some reason those words seemed to go together. Now do the flavours? Well let me tell you...
Wavy Lays Sour Cream & Sriracha. They're wavy lays. The actual chip is nothing to write home about, fairly sterile with enough thickness and crunch to be adequately dippable. What about the seasoning you ask? Well, coverage is okay. First impression is that they taste like typical sour cream based flavours, you get a lot of potato with em and a simulated sour cream not quite sour but you know, smooth-sour? The sriracha is present but not overpowering, it takes quite a number of chips before you start to feel any heat. There's a mild sweetness to these lil thangs. If you're into sour cream based flavours and want to get a lil frisky, give em a go. I'd like to see another chip brand try this flavour combo on for size, could be really interesting on a better chip base. I'd recommend trying them at least once.
So yeah, to me Culo sounds like a blend between 80's hXc and 77' with crusty vocals. They range from mid tempo to fast on the hardcore spectrum (does that make sense?). I got their 2013 album The Return of Culo - My Life Sucks and I Could Care Less this past spring from Deranged Records when I went on a real Deranged binge (great label). Good shit. Lyrics are pretty much unintelligible just listening to the album. However looking at the song titles I'd guess they're somewhere between nihilism and sci-fi. The lyric sheet is in a zine form..with a live shot of (I'm assuming) their singer at a show on the back..naked. After reading the lyrics, shit's dark, angry and yes nihilistic. Addiction is well represented. Aggressive to say the least.
Stay hydrated,
