COIN UNDER TONGUE 
Reception / Hussies At Bay
And so it begins. The transistion out of
Post-Post-Post-Punk into
Re Grunge (that being groups emulating the Sub-Pop / Am Rep pre-Nevermind era - not to be confused with 'Post-Grunge', that's, like, Creed or some shit). And you really couldn't ask for a better spearhead. Tickling the new wavers with occasional drum machines and moments of
Cure-ish pop before slamming into the full on
Nirvana -
Bleach /
Cherubs -
Icing sludge rock, they remind the kids of what their parents were likely blasting while they were shitting a diaper, and send their parents (us) into nodding approval - yes, this is how you do it. Memorable and catchy, noisy and edgy. The main difference here is instead of using
Black Sabbath,
Void and
Pixies as their main starting points of reference, it's
Nirvana,
Melvins and
Joy Division
Currently signed to
Death By Audio Records (who also make the most fucked effect pedals on earth and are headed up by Oliver Ackermann of
A Place To Bury Strangers) they've actually been releasing their new album,
'Hussies At Bay' as it's being recorded, as well as their first EP
Reception (aka
So Far) - so this is totally legit.
What I'm finding highly amusing is how everyone seems terrified to use the term 'Grunge' to describe CUT, dancing all about without saying it when that is
undoubtedly the largest element in their sound. Grow some fucking balls, limpwrists - you're rock critics - no one thinks you're cool anyway, whatta ya got to lose by being honest?
Anyway, these guys are the opening salvo, let's see how far it goes!
