SCREAMING TOENAIL 'Sever' (Hell Hath No Fury Records)
by Andy Wired
It's the first time I've come across this intriguing bunch. There's a lot of buzz surrounding their upcoming debut album, and if this slice of brooding punk is anything to go by, I can see why!
Chiming, almost gothic guitars, a scratchy meandering undercurrent and a spiralling bass rhythm that is both relentless and steady.
The vocals are heartfelt and defiant, but never hysterical. This is very good indeed. It spins a web and draws you in; I succumbed willingly.
