the Culprit - s/t - CD (2010)

Labels: Not On Your Radio
Review by: Andy Malcolm

I wouldn’t recommend listening to the opening few seconds of this on headphones. Or any of it at all to be honest. But the first few seconds have truly horrid bass wobble that made me feel a bit queasy. Not half as queasy as the music that followed mind you, which sounds like the kind of thing that might have got a half decent review on Collective in 1997 when we were but callow youths. Some bits reminded me of Pitchshifter or something. The rest is fairly bog standard Brit Rock, with some other dodgy bits thrown in for variation. If only the Norwich Oval were still going, these guys would get a gig there I reckon.
