Maybe the author confused Tommi's set with somebody elses, that's the only logical explanation I can think of.
I think only band who could be lumped to "sounds like 92 era GW" (= Punishment LP, that is) would be Con-Dom. And even they have distinctly different styles. Otherwise I can't see that type of material being performed on the fest at all?
But I'm quite sure, that if you're 1) bald 2) finnish - you may have to suffer from certain impression some people like to have about you. I won't complain, since probably one of the major guilty ones for this, haha! But most certainly, if someone is watching to stage and conclusion is "aww, yet another bald finn youngster provocateur making copycat PE" tells a bit about nature of criticism? I mean, in case when there is no youngsters, no provocation, no PE. But again, I like to warmly remember the golden Finnish noise journalism where big cultural tabloid defined Hijokaidan as great noise and Incapacitants as juvenile power electronics singing about their cocks!
Concerning Grunt show, at least according to my standards, there was no sleaze, there was no XXX, very little of violence or actually not at all (from my perspective). Lyrically or visually. But I guess one can't avoid appearing as greasy thug under conditions, and that is actually very satisfying quality -> If past impressions have been so strongly annoying and sticky, you can't shake them off your brain, it seems some kind of unintentional success!
It's kind of blessing that in genre there is nothing to be achieved beyond personal satisfaction. I'm kind of surprised feedback was as good as it was.
