Austerity Dogs

Product Information

As with the cold leftovers of last night's kebab hastily consumed on the way to work in the hope of staving off a hangover, it may not be pretty but it's undeniably nourishing. The word 'cunt' is used within the first ten seconds of the record, in an aggro spoken-word opening that sends an immediate signal of what's to come.

Brilliant," I thought, "more wannabe 'Mod' twats selling that line about how important it is in working class culture to wear a sharp coat.As quotable as Half Man Half Biscuit, as in thrall to the rhythmic force of language as the Wu-Tang Clan and as 'wow, where the fuck did that come from? Two years later we made the move to our present address, 35 The Headrow, where we have remained ever since. A turbulent brew with just as much 60s garage rock bite, head-spinning psychedelia and '1991-The-Year-That-Punk-Broke' grit to offer as Vinum Sabbathi riffage. If you're looking for a few reference points, then imagine a stripped-down cross between John Cooper Clarke (minus the literary), Mark E Smith (minus the stream-of-consciousness), the street-punk likes of Cock Sparrer and Oi!

Designer, architect and artist, his iconic work for Yes, Uriah Heep, Budgie, countless Vertigo sleeves and much more, has almost come to define 70's sleeve art. This lends the record an uncomfortable cubism – a hotchpotch of half-remembered impressions from the night before coming into relief through the hangover's haze: a disorienting miasma of contemporary bullshit. A band just as comfortable sharing the Temples festival bill with the likes of Electric Wizard and Neurosis as they are alongside Nick Cave, Iggy Pop and Deborah Harry on the forthcoming Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions album 'Axels And Sockets'. minus any racism), and maybe a touch here and there of Wu-Tang (minus, well, anything American whatsoever).The subjects of the lyrics usually focus around modern working life, unemployment, the criticism of celebrities and just working class banter. Apparently, members of the in-house posse for the day had been so appalled by the opening tracks of 'Austerity Dogs' that it was refused point blank back onto our wheel of steel.

In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. Formed 2 years ago out of the ashes of Leeds garage rockers The Bacchae, the band were seduced by the brutal and hypnotic lure of the riff, to emerge translucent skinned and bleary eyed from their cocoon as the ferocious kick-ass heavy rock outfit that is Black Moth. As with all NHS releases the album package will be something very special, with some very special cover art. Due to inventory and accounting purposes, we do not exchange items received for different items than originally purchased.

They also look to more current acts such as the Melvins, Sleep and Electric Wizard for inspiration, though singer, Harriet Bevan, still maintains a vocal style that evokes the haunting psychedelia of Grace Slick and psych-Satanist, Jinx Dawson from Coven: the woman responsible for the "sign of the horns" in rock'n'roll. Sleaford Mods know this too: on 'Urine Mate', frontman Jason Williamson tells us about seeing one of Nottingham's better known alcoholics putting his bin out and "stinking of urine", whilst people from Mapperley Park (a fairly salubrious area) "point and laugh".
