MIKE DAVIES COLUMN DECEMBER 2021



And to see out the year, HARRY JORDAN blasts out a storm with Outlaw, a sleazy growling rockabilly guitar riff grinding blues about dancing with the devil that comes with the addition of Hell In High Heels and the relatively more sedate but still fist to the face Death Card. 


LIONS OF DISSENT
continue to go from strength to strength, conjuring thoughts perhaps of  Sisters of Mercy with the loose-limbed bass, electronics and goth-shrouded motorik of Torch, a song they’ve just released to their social media pages, as they sing “We're down on our knees like beggars in a goldmine”. 


And, finally, MATT RYDER gets into electronica for his Escape EP, a six-tracker featuring the skittering beats of Before I Go, the ebb and flow echoey sung 6am, Awake, Run, Lips and the title track, all six flowing fluidly together into an extended chill miasma.
