BROKEN DC - 'FACE THE SUN'

Formats

• DRYRUN001 - 7"

Details

London trio Broken DC formed by members of Pettybone and Capricorns. The trio featuring Ivona Behalova, Kevin Williams and Ben Savigear form syncopated riffs, intricate rhythms and atypical time signatures which stray to the further reaches of hardcore.. taking cues from the likes of the post punk of Joy Division and the post hardcore of Slint. BDC drop some hardcore mesh in there with the sound of Dischord / Gravity Records coming to the fore. Face The Sun was recorded by Rory Attwell on the Lightship and Gnarled was recorded live by Tim Chimp at Drop Out Studios. BDC proceed to record a raft of fierce demos, with the look to playing shows, lots of them, as that is the wont of a band that has hardcore roots! This is post punk/ hardcore driven to the now with an urgency and passion that means they can exist in the space left by a burnt out and voided hardcore scene. 200 COPIES ONLY

THE BAD JOKE THAT ENDED WELL - 'ALTA LOMA'

Formats

• SBR011 - LP

Details

Ltd 250 transparent blue vinyl with red, green and yellow splatters. The 12 track album which will be released on July 14th is named 'Alta Loma' after a hotel in John Fante's book 'Ask The Dust'. The album takes on a much heavier 70's psych sound compared to previous works. Garage rock influences are still widely felt throughout the songs but the band have moved to a much more progressive sound playing with extended drum solos mixed with theremin and vocals put through wen copycats and a huge in studio plate reverb. The whole album was recorded live in 2 days and mixed in one day at Toy Box Studios by Ali Chant. Everything was recorded and mixed using the analogue equipment and mastered using reel to reel. The single 'She Moans' will see a video release in mid to late July (being made by Kirill Smolyakov) and the band hope to begin playing heavily again in August through to Christmas to support the release.
