Pïss Bäth – Hoodrat Shit Vol. 1

A kickass EP of this Glasgow group originally released roughly a year ago, now hopefully getting saved from relative obscurity by local label Gold Mold Records who’ve just reissued this beauty digitally and on cassette. On it, we get fresh supply from the realm of dungeon punk-ajacent noise reminiscent of a whole range of groups like, naturally, the current genre overlords Poison Ruïn, the heavily motörized/sleazified garage punk of Cheap Heat, Golden Pelicans and Polute, hard-/postcore-leaning acts like Tarantüla, Bloody Gears and Video.

Civic – Taken By Force

On their second full length, Malbourne group Civic continue hold up the banner of oldschool garage punk of the heavily Birdman-indebted variety while still cautiously expanding on their sonic spectrum. Blood Rushes, for example, has some power pop vibe to it, reminiscent of early Scientists while in Trick of the Light, a touch of mid-eighties Wipers in the verses leads into some serious New Christs-like riffing in the chorus.
