Shithammer - Demo

Many years ago this was posted on Avalanchers forum (Godflesh related groupies forum), and since then I've seen it circulating only around Soulseek, so here it is.

"Dave Cochrane (Bass, "choppy guitar", vocals on 3 tracks) & Paul Neville (Drum programming, "droning guitar", vocals on 2 tracks)"
A very lo-fi demo for die-hard fans only. If you're into this blog than you probably know these names, and if you know the names you can probably guess what this sounds like.
5 untitled tracks, track 2's line sounds like a slowed up version of Sweet Tooth's Soul Shark opening bass, if you need a general idea of what you're going to hear.
Wish we could get to hear more of this with better audio.

Gotta love these Brummie folks

GAM - Phase 8

 As I approach to post this album, one of many I planned to upload since this blog started, I came upon this youtube channel, which is uploading live GAM videos as I write this, so I guess this post is right on time.

GAM were a Savannah (with some Louisville roots) weirdos group, active for most of the 90's. This album is pretty diverse, a bit too diverse, but other than that it's a great one. They call the music Freak Folk, you'll notice it just means a wide variety of genres flavored with a southern twang.
FFO Butthole Surfers, Cows, Captain Beefheart, Chrome, Cramps, Country Teasers, Flaming Lips, Von LMO


1. Woo Yeah
2. Brain Damage
3. Detroit Steel
4. Fishin' UFO
5. Kant Keep Me In Check
6. Rose
7. Speedfische
8. Freewheelin'
9. Greg Ginn Body Bag
10. Sleep
11. Something In Here
12. Gigantor
13. Lonely Boy
14. Legendary Spaceman I
15. Legendary Spacemen II

That's What I Like About The South..

If you have their EP (1994) or single (1998), share with us.

Human - Transmission

Tony Calvert (vocals), Tony Hamill (bass), Richard Lewis (guitars, programming).
The first two played in a group called Tortoise Corpse, so I think this was also recorded in Swansea, but not too sure.
Ministry-Skinny Puppy industrial metal. The third track has this quirky dungeon-synth line that I highly appreciated, as primitive 90's as it gets.

1. Don't Fuck With Truth
2. Pornocracy
3. Terra Nostra
4. Insignificance
5. Human Abattoir
6. Interzone
7. Panopticon
8. Simulcra
9. Human
10. Sex War
11. The Silent Minorities

They've had a couple more releases but I could find any of them, be a mensch and put links down in the comments if you have one of 'em.
Disbanded later in the 90's, Andreas Schiegl started opreating under Hausen, creating more abstract electronic music (or so they say).
