Instru-metal is meaningless, but that’s OK with me. When all you need after a hard day at the call-centre is a pure rock enema to get the endorphins rushing again, slapping on a bit of Karma To Burn, Blind Idiot God or The Fucking Champs can really cackle your gladys. Nottingham’s Legion Of Doom are total axe-swinging metal joy, with massive, catchy, chunky riffs crashing down in a totally heavy but eminently accessible way. Birmingham’s Mothertrucker pale in comparison with their more laidback stoner-rock meanderings, even hitting the 10-minute mark on one of their offerings, but they’re still classy, bluesy, red-eyed entertainment.
