Bury Tomorrow – ‘Cannibal’ (Music For Nations/Sony Music)

Bury Tomorrow – ‘Cannibal’ (Music For Nations/Sony Music)

Posted by | Jul 3, 2020 | ,

When ‘Black Flame’ set a charge under the backside of the music industry in July 2018, catapulting Bury Tomorrow to even greater heights than before, you had to wonder how long the Southampton five piece could keep this going. It’s rare enough for a band so heavy to hit the top 40 with an album at all, never mind three consecutive times, having previously done so with ‘Runes’ in 2014 and ‘Earthbound’ two years later. Lesley M wonders if they they can make it a quadruple whammy with album #6…

The HU – ‘The Gereg’ (Deluxe Edition)’ (Better Noise Music)

If there was one band whom you couldn’t miss in 2019, it was quite possibly The HU, who came storming out of Mongolia with the ferocity of that most famed of their ancestors, Genghis Khan, and proceeded to conquer the world with their blend of traditional throat music and modern metal miens. Here in the Über Kingdom, their debut full length offering smashed its way into the album charts, and the band rampaged across Europe on a sold out tour – one of the last by an international act before the continent went into lockdown over the Covid-19 pan(dem)ic.

Ahead of the label releasing the band’s third studio album ‘The Green Chapel’ later this year, BEM have taken the opportunity to release ‘Blazing Worlds – Live At Roadburn’ first.

Phoxjaw – ‘Royal Swan’ (Hassle Records)

Phoxjaw could have been described as a little ‘out there’ already. Known for their divergent and rule-breaking music,  the titles of their first two EPs, the debut, ‘Goodbye Dinosaur’ and the wonderfully named ‘A Playground For Sad Adults’ enhance the impression that what we are about to hear may not be your typical middle of the road album. Oh, and Lesley Mac can imagine herself in that playground… With ‘Royal Swan’, their first full length contribution having been recorded in a wee stone box called ‘Devil’s Bridge Cottage’ in Wales, the fourpiece  of Danny Garland (vocals/bass), Josh Gallop (guitars/keyboard), Kieran Gallop (drums) and Alexander Share (guitar/vocals) are unlikely to have tamed their unusual ways…

The Dirty Truckers – ‘Second Dose’ (Rum Bar Records)

The title of this, the latest offering from Bostonian countrified garage punks Dirty Truckers, could be seen to be somewhat misleading, as it is not, as it might suggest, the band’s second album. In fact, Messrs Baker, Overbaugh and co have been kicking around the rock ‘n’ roll Überverse since the end of the last millennium and have already presented us with three albums, an EP and a career-spanning ‘Best Of…’ compilation. Where the title is an accurate summation of what we have here is that it is actually a follow-up to aforesaid compilation…
