8 new bands, their musical style, the name of their latest single and a perfunctory review
- Playing flutes with mustard : slamcrack : "Blow my pipe you war whore fuck" : A screaming ghastly wreck of noise and sexual allusions. Mavis McCracken's voice is somehow suited to lyrics that liken a vagina (possibly even her own) to the barrel of a gun spewing the bullets of beauty into a world filled with hate, thus: "Oooh yeah/ War..um..whore, yeah".
- Closed eyes, folded minds : crucified jelly : "Smacking your lips with a cane" : Pimpsodesic Fanty and his band of merry abuse survivors make another attempt to convince the world that they really are very depressed and that their deep seated hatred of women is somehow cool.
- All black and spangley : slushgoth : "Even more slowly please" : Black clad and obsessive lead singer Michelle Tomtom harmonises her voice with both the guitar of Arminglungs Coud and the bass of Tom Clots. The effect is like a cross between an even sluttier Britney Spears and having someone stick a chisel in your ear.
- Slow Fluttering Jesus : horsetranqualiserbasey : "Fuck my fucking fuck hole, yeah" : Despite a worrying obsesion with mutilating cats ("cats all mashed/ throw them in the bath/stringy cat fuckers/always make me laugh") Harry Nomint's band produce a sort of whelp of grandieur. Admitedly they are lyrically limited and musically less than proficient but there is something about the way that they take huge amounts of drugs and just do what they want that is cool.
- Floaty Dressed : breastcore : "Yes to your proposition" : Jesus. I'm actually ejaculating now. Someone please take the record off. I'm getting "the gush". Oh shit...cum turning red!!!
- Semen : country&ooze : "Take my darlin' to the tatoo place, get a piercing in her lip" : Mad country musician turned semen vampire Justin Lambastic produces another misanthropic gem. Filled with horse shouting and sex noises, this recording is destined to be a classic. I'm sure it will live up to my expectations when I get sent a copy.
- Throwndownstairsbymommy : clattercore : "Crank, crank, crank" : Like someone walking into the largest kitchen in the world with a gigantic electro-magnet and just standing their while the pots fly around.
- Practise shits : patheticouterring : "Oooh" : Wank.
