Anyone who has read this site before will have seen a very positive last year of a band named Kroh, it turns out that it’s the same front man for Shebrew. This increases my love for an already very busy Birmingham scene at the moment. The Grind and Stoner scene is massive there at the minute and with fantastic little venues like Scruffy Murphy’s putting on weekly shows it really has helped some fine bands get themselves a place to be noticed.

I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with these boys last year and I really could not put my finger on what sound they were trying to go for as it sounded like a slightly confused Neurosis, HOWEVER this recording is a massive breath of fresh air, it’s crushingly heavy at points but beautifully melodic in others. I am not sure what happened with that live set or if I was just not giving them my full attention but when first listening to this record it transported me back to a time of when I first heard Life of Agony and when an album makes me think back to when I was first discovering bands as a teenager it certainly puts a smile on my face!

You can get yourself a nice snazzy physical copy of this 5 Track E.P, Limited to 100 Numbered black underside CD here, or have a listen on their bandcamp before you buy it.

(Oh, and keep an eye out as they may very well be coming down to London soon to entertain you all)

WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE!
