MP3: Brainbombs - Danny was a streetwhore
This one's a new release, but it's an old recording so it qualifies for Friday posting. Brainbombs are a cult band who've been lurking on the periphery for a long while now that's only recently started to get their due as more and more bands namedrop them as influences. All those shit-gaze bands du jour? Oh yeah, totally like Brainbombs. Seems like anytime you hear repetitive sludge buried beneath an intentionally bad recording, you'll see the reference. Personally, I'm a bit on the fence about them and can't reasonably offer a recommendation for most casual listeners. "You like misanthropic, sexist dirge-rock? Well check these guys out!" Naah, not gonna happen. If degenerate music like Flipper, Eyehategod or later GG Allin is your cup of tea, you probably already know about these dudes anyway. As for this new live document "Live At Smålands Nation, Lund, Sweden, May 29 1993", it's a mess. Surprise! Approach with caution.
