Review:
MiNUSS
have just released their debut EP and now they're back with more of
the same violent and manic Sludge/Grunge/Punk Rock riffs. Like it's
predecessor EP 2 is a stripped back lo-fi sounding collection of
tracks that flits between Sludge, Grunge and Punk Rock.
Very
different to their other band – Sorry For Nothing. It only lasts
for 7 minutes or so but it shows that MiNUSS still have that
wonderful don't-give-a-fuck attitude around their music. Yeah it's
sloppy and sounds like it was recorded on broken down equipment. Why
can I not stop listening to this. Tracks such as Fouke and Bloody
Fingers have such a playful energy to them that you can't but help
singing along to this crazy carnage.
People
may listen to this and think that Rerb and Jern cannot play their
instruments and come off as a second rate punk band. Nothing could be
further from the truth, as John (Drums and Vox) and Rob (Guitar and
Vox) are fantastic musicians in their own right. Their highly thought
of in the North East of England Rock Scene. Thanks to their band
Sorry For Nothing. These guys have supported Truckfighters, Fu Manchu
and The Answer.
But
fuck it, this is about MiNUSS. Their new band and these guys are sure
having fun. EP 2 is a slice of fast-paced dirty grungy sludge based
riffs. I've been told that EP 3 is just round the corner. I hope the
guys include a longer song just to see if they have it in them to
write something that lasts a little longer than 2 minutes.
Until
then EP 2 is a blast from start to finish. Check it out. You won't be
sorry.
