New Music Recommendations
Checking in with our followers on things they’ve been listening to this February – one last time! See part 1 of the roundup here and part 2 here.
Big Sexy Noise – S/T (Sartorial Records)
Big Sexy Noise follow up their vinyl mini album, released in summer of 2009, with a full blown CD album. The band, fronted by Lydia Lunch and Gallon Drunk alt-rockers James Johnston, Terry Edwards and Ian White, have recorded a further five Johnston/Lunch originals plus a Lynyrd Skynyrd cover to complement the original six tracks.
Big Sexy Noise is the primaeval bump, grind and holler of White’s thuggish drums, Johnston’s moronic low-tuned riffing and Edwards’ brutal organ and sax interventions led by Lunch’s take-no-prisoners vocals.
