SNORK MAIDEN - STATiC TRAiN BREAD FiGHT!

<a href="http://snorkmaiden.bandcamp.com/album/static-train-bread-fight">active desktop recovery by snork maiden</a>
So you enjoyed the last Snork opus, Cake Artistry Centre, yeah, and you'd probably like to hear more of their wonky electro pop, right? Unfortunately this here is their 1st album - 13 tracks of tape hiss smeared fx pedal bashing, recorded down a telephone line into broken 4-track in 2001. SO FUCK YOU.

VARAN THE UNBELIEVABLE - CHICKMAS

<a href="http://varantheunbelievable.bandcamp.com/album/chickmas">liver by VARAN THE UNBELIEVABLE</a>

Vintage Newport harsh noise. An accidental Snork Maiden side project, formed for a birthday party in 2004. VARAN thereafter became active whenever the members' "real" bands were feeling particularly lazy. Most of these tracks have been available on myspace since 2006, but now you can damage your hearing at a higher bitrate!

Thinking with Sand - sex funeral

<a href="http://thinkingwithsand.bandcamp.com/album/sex-funeral">ghost food by Thinking with Sand</a>

Brand new web-only e.p. from the hyperlazy newport noisepopniks; 2 very slack years in the making. Like blowing a hair dryer into your ear in Wookey Hole on MDMA.

Spider Kitten - Routine

<a href="http://spiderkitten.bandcamp.com/album/routine">Penny Royal Tea by Spider Kitten</a>

More Nirvana worship from Spider Kitten. Imagine In Utero without the unnecessarily loud drums. It's a nice thought, isn't it?

Spider Kitten - Driven Men

<a href="http://spiderkitten.bandcamp.com/album/driven-men">Drain You by Spider Kitten</a>

If you've ever thought that Nirvana's Nevermind could've done with being a touch heavier and a bit less well produced, you're in for a treat.

Science Bastard - Alive for the BBC

<a href="http://sciencebastard.bandcamp.com/album/alive-for-the-bbc">i heard a knock and thought warning by Science Bastard</a>
The 2nd recording from the Newport noise-punk-popsters, the final to feature their original lineup. Recorded live from the Swn Festival at Chapter Arts Centre for Adam Walton's BBC Wales radio show. Only a few hour after the performance, bassist "Count Jimshnackh" murdered guitarist "Euronlinus" after a dispute over a contract for New State Radium recordings. The surving members continue as trio. Expect new music in a few months. Jimshnackh is currently serving a 21 year sentence in Norway, producing crap ambient albums and inept far right literature from his cell.

Thinking with Sand - in situ

<a href="http://thinkingwithsand.bandcamp.com/album/in-situ">not yet by Thinking with Sand</a>

3rd EP from the ultra-slack shoegaze losers. Waves of guitar sizzle, endless reverb, twinkling synths and head-raping noise. Originally packaged in a envelope and given away free at the Joy Collective Xmas party on 27th December 2007. Now yours to enjoy direct from the intermaweb!
