Outhud - Natural Selection - 7

Labels: GSL
Review by: Chris Bress

This band are very underated. This is a great 7″ and follows up there (at least I think it was released after-I can’t be bothered checking!) split 12″ with !!! (who they also share members of). Unlike the dancy post-funk punk of !!!, Outhud play downbeat dub/post punk bringing bands like the Slits and the Pop Group to mind without sounding much like them really, it’s a lot more dub. It could have come from Bristol back in the day totally. The first side is great and just keeps making me want to put it back on, the second song is a great dub tune with melodic guitar and bass lines which develops into a pulsating noise part fading awayyyyy…great 7″.
