DIY OR DIE- Vol 1
Glasgow indie label, Electric Company Records, are now one-year-old
and they are celebrating with a four-track split EP celebrating the
best of their city and its infamous live circuit; an opportunity to
discover four noisy bands with shitty names (their words, not mine)
and attitudes to match. Each track recorded in Electric Companys
studio, lending a ramshackle sound to compliment the very best sort
of punk music, each band bring their own brand of songwriting and
so sense of identity, be it a more formulaic garage, classic three-chord
punch or experimental slacker. After all, only Secret Motorbikes would
write a song called Is dis 4 real.
I saw Pearl Jam recently at Milton Keynes and, when their moshpit
started, I nearly lost my bra. Although not sounding in the slightest
bit grunge rock, the comparison is still that there is an edge to
these bands that suggest they might take your undies too. More terrifying
for some than others, let me tell you. I like this because they play
it like they love it. Thats all we can want from our musicians,
right?
