Bass Drum Of Death

Mississippi two-headed garage behemoth Bass Drum Of Death are finally prepping their followup to 2011's GB City, and the first cut off it 'Shattered Me' feels like a concrete-slab-to-the-face level of raising the bar. And I don't mean that in brutality as I do with immediacy - the hooks lying within are relentless, so whilst you wont be able to label this as anything original, you won't be able to resist it either. Which is kinda the point, isn't it - losing your mind without blowing it? I don't know. It works for me anyway.

Innovative Leisure (also responsible for releases from Allah-Las, Crystal Antlers and Hanni El Khatib) is putting out Bass Drum Of Death in June. 'Shattered Me' will ensure this time flies by.

About

It was early on a Sunday morning at ATP - A Nightmare Before Christmas 2009. After downing a fair few, at 4am we decided to cook a curry. It was during the consumption of this drunkenly delicious breakfast treat that we decided to actually do something about the music we talk about all the time.

So we started a blog – and Sonic Masala was born. Now into its seventh year, the blog has spread out to call both Australia and the UK its home (and the rest of the world), and has expanded to include gigs, festivals and a record label under its black umbrella. Come on, eat the noize.

If an mp3 is up here, it's because we have been talking about it, and think the whole world needs to know more. It's there to give you a little taste. Then, if you like, check out the band live and spend all your hard earned cash on their records. If we've posted up an mp3 of your stuff and you're not too keen on the idea, let us know and we'll happily take it down pronto.
