••• BLURT •••
The quietly legendary Blurt may well have been listening to Captain Beefheart and Charlie Parker - but it 's equally possible that they've never heard any music at all. A comparison could be drawn to the no-wave act The Contortions, and though they share the same vitriolic rawness and tight dance grooves, there's something of the Magic Band lurch to Blurt that separates them. That there are grooves at all is impressive, given the lack of bass, which places all the emphasis on piston-like drums which slug it out with the jagged, untutored sax playing.

••• IVORY SPRINGER •••
"Nautically themed artcore... or weird brainy shit about seamen. Either way, Bristol three-piece Ivory Springer are about as thrillingly innovative and eccentric as it's possible to be with a guitar, bass and drums. Their debut album twins an Albini obsession with epic, Ernest Shackleton style yarns of brawny bosuns and sinking vessels, forging rhythms and riffs so stutteringly off-kilter that dancing to them would be like playing hands-free musical statues. Although they rock with a terrifying, faultline threatening gravity, they also understand the power of pause and control. This stuns from start to all too quick finish. The nation's less able post-post-rock contenders should walk the plank." 4/5 BANG!

••• PAPA MOLASSES & THE DANE COUNTY PARAGONS •••
If werewolves made country music. Think Willie Nelson with a drill in his face.
