  • Laundry for the Apocalypse played Round 5 of the 2012 Arkansas Times Musicians Showcase.

Round 5 winner Laundry for the Apocalypse played a set that started out with the punky, upbeat “Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2” before settling in to the “Murdertarp for the Apocalypse,” which sounded truly world-ending, with crashing doubled drums, pulsing rhythm and frontman Aaron Sarlo’s unhinged wail. Impressively, the band sustained that energy level for its entire set.
