You know, sometimes Jonny B wonders what sort of impression he gives us at ÜRHQ… especially when an album comes in with the description “This isn’t a satanic group, but an XXX rated porno speed noise” and the first reaction is “this is exactly what Jonny Bakes should be reviewing…” But our Cumbrian corresondent always claimed to have an open mind, so he’ll give his verdict on the resurrected entire discography of Goatvulva. Yes, all 53 minutes and 31 songs of it…

You know how it goes sometimes, you find this new exciting band that you can’t wait to force your mates to listen to then you follow them through the years until they do one of two things – they either fade into obscurity or they hit their stride and make it big. That’s exactly how Jonny B felt when he stumbled across a video for a song called ‘General of the Dark Army’ by Unleash The Archers nearly ten years ago and was completely blown away by the power of Brittney’s voice.
