I wrote about “monster prog quartet” ANTA for Louder Than War a while back. Band have a new album scheduled for release devilishly soon & have touched a load of their mates for remixes of the five tracks on it, the first couple of which fell into our laps today.
Like the best of remixes they’re totally different to the originals. Indeed, they’re as differecnt to the originals as they are from each other too which is equally great. First up is an in yo face breakcore mangling of the track Dolmen by Ladyscraper, all mighty blips & percussivenesses & the like, second is a more languid remix of Cenotaphium II by Mr Underwood.
Both good a worth a moment of your earsies time.

There’s something wrong with a world in which something this awesome can have been on Soundcloud for 4 days & has still only registered 125 plays.
Rattly old school Wire meets Minutemen is awesome. Short, fast songs & hollered vocals. Love it. They’re off on tour soon & typically aint coming anywhere near Brizzle. Jeez, I dunno what’s happening to the city this year, so many bands skipping it.
They have an ep out soon, a split with equally good band Football, Etc. Both from Nottm. The city’s on a roll atm.

Like these guys. “A hardcore punk band from Providence, Rhode Island”.
Keeping it olde skoole.
Been gone a long time eh? Mainly cuz I’ve been away (Harlech again) & then catching up on all the writing / editing stuff that had piled up while I was away. Oh, and a little bit i’ve been going to gigs.
Shit me WOLF X DOWN were on the money last night. First proper HC gig of the year, either the local scene’s been hibernating or I’ve just been way out of touch for some reason. Or of course we were just really spoilt last year and one or two HC shows every quarter of the year is about normal.
To be honest though, judging by how tense the atmosphere was in the front room of the Croft last night before Murder Circuit started I’d say I wasn’t only who person who’d been waiting for this too long.
Quote of the night came from MURDER CIRCUIT - “We paid 6 quid to get over that cunting bridge, least u could do is like our fucking Facebook page”. Fair point well made, esp as the band probably only made a fiver on the night.
TRUE VALIANCE did a bit like this only a bit harder & more for real. Fucking A:
WOLF X DOWN did a bit like this, seriously prowled & owned the place:
Good night. Don’t wanna wait so long for my next HC show ever again please.
