… Taken from their new EP ‘The Grey Man’ thats very soon to drop, if you have not got tickets to their upcoming show with GRAND MAGUS then you can get them here and probably get a new copy of the CD whilst your at the show!!

Many moons ago I reviewed the first WAR IRON record and got very excited but was doubtful that I was likely to see them live any time soon, and this affected me! BUT after not too long a wait it appears that the planets have aligned to bring this Belfast mob to our very own Desertfest (BUY TICKETS HERE). So what better time than now to rant about their most recent full length offering as once again the disgusting dual bass rumble rings true on what is 4 of the heaviest songs I have heard in a long while. I think this time round the vocals are just that little more nasty and rattling underneath that bass sound is a better suited more high end screech which is spot on and continues to be just as good on their even more recent split with the band HEADLESS KROSS.

I think overall it’s the production that just tightens up this band and makes this record sound that little bit better than their previous effort ‘The Faceless sea’ but I suggest you just get to THEIR BANDCAMP have a listen yourself and strap down your valuables as that bass rumble is sure to put an end to your Mum’s finest china once they come hurtling from their shelving units!

On Thursday April 4th we have the first ever Filth inspired Acoustic night brought to you by When Planets Collide shall be an opportunity to come and savour some fantastic bands unplugged and unleashed in the wonderful soundings of the Brixton Windmill. With more bands to be announced we start with our headliner for the night, the York legend that is known as BOSS CAINE!

Boss Caine is the musical vehicle of one of the UK’s leading songwriters, the purveyor of a unique brand of anglo americana blues folk that is the perma-gigging Daniel Lucas. Debut album ‘The Ship That Sailed’ has seen several of it’s songs aired on Bob Harris’s BBC Radio 2 show, with Bob himself hailing Boss Caine as “stunning UK talent!! Really something!” before promptly booking them for a live session to be aired in March 2013. New album, ‘The Rhythm And The Rhyme’, has just been released and is already receiving glowing reviews the world over. Live, Boss Caine will rip your heart out, and throw it back to you many songs later doused in whiskey, soul and more emotions than you will know what to do with.

and Joining him we have some good friends of WPC that are no stranger to the world of acoustic rock the magnificent TRIPPY WICKED AND THE COSMIC CHILDREN OF THE KNIGHT! With Pete Holland and Chris West bringing their own collection of tunes and some of the best Sludge covers you will ever hear played on a ukulele, sounds like a damn good night to me!!

ADVANCE TICKETS ARE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE SOON FOR £4 or £5 on the door on the night… BARGAIN!!

WHAT A WAY TO START THE WEEK!!!!

We’re incredibly happy to announce TONER LOW, Holland’s mighty bearers of super-heavy stoner-psych riffs, who are set to destroy the HDP/WPC stage at Desertfest this year.
Despite their first album not seeing the light of day until 2005, Toner Low have been making smoke inspired rumblings since their formation back in 1998. Shifting from a 5-piece down to 4 members and then eventually down to a trio Toner Low honed their sound from straight up stoner rocking into a sonically heavy fuzzed doom force, playing shows with the likes of Karma To Burn, Orange Sunshine and Dozer along the way..
Their self-titled first album featuring tracks like the stomping opener ‘Evil Machinery On The Rise’ received glowing reviews and was followed by a string of tour dates / festival apperances across Europe, including their only 2 UK shows to date in 2007. Much in the same pattern, although be it with a lineup change, 2008’s follow up full length – simply named ‘Toner Low II’ – saw the band perfecting their arsenal of enormously heavy minimalist riff repetition across 4 tracks and led to a continuation of multiple European live shows / festival dates. Following this route has led in more recent years to an intensely amped slab of space-drone riff-ery, reminiscent in places of everything from the ambiences maintained on certain Om / Sleep records, through to the more crushing drone-doom orientation of bands like Monarch! and Pombagira.
The band have followed a steady path to reach the overwhelming heaviness that they now radiate with ease, occasionally self releasing via their own Roadkill Recordz label, and playing various shows / festivals alongside some of the biggest names in stoner / doom circles (e.g. Boris, Orange Goblin, Electric Wizard, Acid King to name but a few).
With a new album expected in a few months time Toner Low will be one not to miss at The Underworld on the final day of the festival as they return to the UK for only the second time in their 15 year history.

Brand NEW DIESEL KING shirts designed by the ever impressive GOD MACHINE…. Nuff said!!!

Coming soon from the band and no doubt from their Bigcartel site too.

His name is Chuck and he is an American saviour to the underground music scene! This man has worked hard to spread his message and the message is ‘The highest quality Embroidered patches around!’ and that he has…. having worked from everyone from Eyehategod to Wormrot (and even GURT) he can do it all.

This randomly came up on my ipod this morning and when it did i nearly shit a brick as i forgot how amazing the damn thing is! The RAGING SPEEDHORN cover of Uriah Heep’s ‘Gypsy Queen’ is exactly how I like them, Simple as fuck and hard hitting as hell! and they have missed the 8 minute long bloody keyboard solo’s that the Heep love so so much.

In case you don’t know it or forgot how awesome it is, see below:
