With the sheer volume of music that comes our way here at
Heavy Planet, as much as we delve and strive to find the best of the best,
sometimes the odd worthwhile band falls between the sleepless days and the feedback
distortion of the again sleepless night. Sometimes we may be playing catch up,
but when it comes to the fuzzed-out noise of Goskino, it is an encounter that
has been worth the wait.
Having only released their debut in March of last year,
the frenzied fuzz duo from Stratford Upon Avon, UK, have stomped their feet firmly at the head of
the heavy fuzz garage rock scene, with a sound that is very raw, full of primal
urges, and killer punch lines. The duo of Tom Angell (vocals, guitar) and Greg
McLeod (drums, vocals) are like two stoners brought up on razor wire garage
rock with teenage angst frothing from their mouths. Their debut Fuzz Bomb is as raw and
straight-to-the-point as you could wish for, with 11 tracks barely making 30
minutes, their DIY and punk ethos is a joy to listen to, making you cry out “why
can’t every band do it this way?.”
Fuzz Bomb is
one frenetic fuzzed out moment of the duo’s lives that could never be
replicated, making it a fresh, welcome listen, but the riffs and drum
destruction want you to head bang your brains
out of your ears, hold the membrane in your hands, lift towards the sky, and
yell “FUCK YEAH”!
GOSKINO HAVE COME FOR YOU!
