BASEMENT - COUNTERCLOCKWISE EP (2014)




















Basement (Libourne, France) has been kicking out the noise-rock jams since the mid-90s. If you like Jesus Lizard, Unsane, Distorted Pony, Cop Shoot Cop and Fugazi in a big concoction to consume, then you should slurp this down. This is their latest, 4-song 12" EP, which rocks! But don't stop there.  As always, please sample their bandcamp cocktail menu for other great noise rock beverages to get your head fuzzy in the right way. Cheers!
(Day Off/Some Produkt - 2014)

as i mentioned a while back.
there's just so much stuff out there to consume, i can't really keep up with all the new stuff you put up, but...

if you have the time, i just heard some tracks by a band called 'white drugs'.
the album's called 'harlem'.
the guy who runs the blog put up two youtube tracks as a taster ('the stinger' and 'i hate your face').

you know what?
hand on heart, i think there's a distinct possibility you might shit yourself with the pure noisy joy of those tracks!

dammit!

you've already posted it :)

see?
that's what happens when you get snowed under with all the new stuff getting posted:
you end up totally missing things.

ah well, it's really good though innit?

as our acclaimed blighty actor hugh grant would say "that makes me go a bit shouty crackers!"

Thanks for the awesome comments!! Much appreciated!!

And you know...by mentioning White Drugs, you reminded me that I have to post their other album, 'Gold Magic'. So thanks for that! I'll get that one up pronto!! That will make you shit yourself as well.

Gold Magic is a tasty album. Glad to hear some new stuff from those kiddos.
