Gets Worse
Year of the Bastard
Ok - this is something I was looking forward to immensely. A new EP by powerviolence band Gets Worse is always something that brightens up my day, so as you can imagine I was pretty excited to come across this on Youtube.So - what's it like?
The words "fucking awesome" come to mind. This is powerviolence at its finest - each track is a dirty, gritty, pummelling assault on the senses. It's a teasingly short record - four songs go by in less than five minutes - but not a second is wasted. Each track comes at you like an angry bull, all guttural roars and churning, distorted guitar. The production is perfect - distorted and nasty enough to make it clear this is PV, but good enough that the band's pure fury is undiluted. Plus, final track Year of the Bastard has what has got to be my favourite sample ever. There isn't really much left to say about this EP, other than - buy it.
Rating: 9/10
