Back in 2007 three long-haired teenage stoner doom fans naturally drifted towards each other in the depths of rural Suffolk. Hoping to avoid drowning in the sea of mediocre-metalcore and emo-misery that surrounded them, Teddy-James Driscoll, Jus Smith and Jack Newnham formed TOOM. This band was a short-lived and unproductive beast, but a beast nonetheless; a heavy, growling, riff-laden beast. Within three years, it was all over, and the three had gone their separate ways – Teddy to join Telepathy, Justin teaming up with Purson and then Uncle Acid, and Jack to Old Man Lizard and Slabdragger: but, before they parted, they spent one bitterly cold, madcap January night in a studio, battling against the odds to lay down the only recorded evidence of their time together. And, finally, more than a decade later, the results have been defrosted and brought into the glare of the spotlight by those ever-discerning folks at APF Records.
