Tar Pond – Petrol (Prophecy Productions)

With a band name and an album title such as the above this was never gonna be light and fluffy or fast and spiky.  The fact that I have drank too much coffee this morning certainly puts me at odds with this dirty… Continue Reading →

Mud Spencer – Fuzz Soup (Argonauta)

One person projects are de rigeur these days. No time for band members when you got the vision and skills. Instrumental? Of course – don’t need no shouty egotists to take me where I want to go. But …. a one man… Continue Reading →

Butcher In The Fog – Exonerate Me Baby (S/R)

London three-piece Butcher in the Fog have been around for 8 ish years and how I have not heard of them until now is a travesty. Exonerate ME, Baby is their third full length release and they celebrated it recently at London’s beloved scene… Continue Reading →

VOR – Depravador (Third I Rex)

Vor? What is it good for? Quite a lot actually! A lot of the time when a release purporting to be “sludge” hits my inbox or doormat I am dismayed. Usually folks are so busy with the big riffs and… Continue Reading →

Chestburster – Slime And Guilt (Svart)

My initial enthusiasm for this band was due to the fact that I thought this was the grinding terror UK version of Chestburster only to find that this is the Finnish version. A quick listen online gave me enough to… Continue Reading →

The Atomic Bitchwax – Gravitron (Tee Pee)

When two thirds of the band are recording and touring with another band it is quite a feat to write and record an album as damn good and rockin’ as Gravitron. When that other band is Monster Magnet who famously… Continue Reading →
