The Wankys
Who's seen this lot?
Excuse the jag.
the wankys, who claim to be from kyushu island, uk (actually they are from leicester) surprised all of us last year with their already classic 'noise punk' ep released on noise and distortion label. this album is not a release that anyone is likely to feel indifferent about; it's far to over the top for that! it has horrible screeching vocals, plodding driving bass, fucked-up sounding drums and insanely distorted guitars. can you imagine disorder and confuse having a glue-sniffing session and the survivors picking up some instruments and heading off to a studio? have you ever had a mental picture of early swankys and early chaos uk competing against each other over who has the nosiest guitar sound? probably the only band from outside of japan that has accurately emulated the kyushu / bristol sound, this album has already been hailed as a modern day classic and has set the standard in the new sub-genre of punk that is now known as 'noise punk'. a must for fans of gai, confuse, disorder, early swankys and chaos uk.
I'm putting them on next week.
