Tout Suite - Chicken In A Bastard - Tape (2015)

Labels: self released
Review by: Alex Deller

Ridiculously raw, scruffy, punk stuff from these Manchester-based nogoodniks. Despite owing much to the crust/d-beat school of cider-damaged thought in terms of sound and on-point politics there’s a weird, rangy looseness to the whole mess that makes me think of Drunks With Guns playing ‘Banned From The Roxy’, while elsewhere the erratic blasts of speed recall something that could’ve been on some old 625 or Kangaroo Records comp 7″. Whether these results are by design or ineptitude is anyone’s guess, but either way it’s bizarrely appealing and somehow not quite the fall-apart mess it appears on first listen.
