Lawman Plays Dead - Singles From Girl Band & Savaging Spires

A quick post about two UK bands playing the traps. Irish noisekids Girl Band have just released this Lawman 7" (in a cloth sleeve, it's pretty sweet, I bought one on Saturday) and the titular track fits into that mould of off-kilter, insincere, nerdy/bratty banter jammed into the core of a lot of squall and bluster. It's fun, and rocks.

Then there's the ethereal wanderings of Savaging Spires, whose We Should Be Dead Together record is on the cusp of coming to fruition. This track is lovely. They played the Old Blue Last last week - unfortunately I missed it. AND Ill miss Girl Band's foray there next week as Ill be back in Oz. Ah well, I'm sure you can get along for me, right?

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.
