"This is dark, crushing music that easily falls in line with The United Kingdom’s long and proud history of bleak, stellar, nihilistic, industrial-dipped, noise merchants. Recommended."

Le Guess Who? has launched a fundraising campaign in order to help secure the festival’s future going forward, citing rising costs, inflation and increasingly expensive and complex visa processes for the artists booked to play at the event

169. Holy Scum - All We Have Is Never (Rocket Recordings)

From MCR’s black heart, they stab at us. Recorded at Black Bay(!) on Lewis & produced by half of Dälek, it’s rock-ribbed baselines played with girders for plectra. ‘Monolithic, ominous shapes’ but not grimly fascinating, maybe.

Bloody brilliant night at Exeter Cavern, @holyscum.bsky.social with their viscous and distorted sound woke the sense, didn’t want them to stop!!!

'Recorded at the aptly named Black Bay Studio, All We Have is Never is a menacing affair that represents both the refinement of a winning formula and the continuation of a descent into Holy Scum’s sonic netherworld.'
