Fuck, this is ferocious. I tend not to listen to much sludge as a lot of it is way too happy and groovy/ bluesy for my taste, but this is the right stuff. Manky, Mossy, devoid of bongs, devoid of smiles, total negativity. I couldn't resist nabbing a tape.

Yep, absolutely nothing special but absolutely the kind of Sludge I like. Check out Groak and Medicine Noose as well for similarly gnarled sludge delights.
I gave Medicine Noose a listen last night and they were alright but not as interesting to me as these lads. Not quite as dead sounding maybe hehe. I'll give those other lads a listen.
I've only seen this thread now. Great demo, Cursed Monk Records put it out on CD with a bonus track a while back, if anyone's interested.
I saw it in Tower a coupe of weeks ago and was taken aback. I didn't realise Cursed Monk put it out, which makes sense now.
Yeah, they have a stand there, I think. They had anyway. Most of their releases are kind of out of leftfield, generally a pretty good roster, too.
