TAKE A WORM FOR A WALK WEEK/DESALVO - SPLIT (7")

DIZZY STORM/MIDMARCH RECORDS - out now.

Limited to 500 copies and split released on Dizzy Storm (Aberdeen)/ Midmarch Records (Brighton), this scottish / scottish split 7" contains Side Effect from the acclaimed self-titled TAWFAWW debut on midmarch, and a previously un-released track 25 seconds of positive. DeSalvo follow up their debut 7" which entered the world on Rock Action records with the awesome Get Black.

TAWFAWW - About as subtle as a knife to the face, as grating as feeding your hand into a mincer, take a worm for a walk week thrust their riffs down your throat, then scream them into your bowels. Tech as fuck, fast and hard, mixing the intensity of eyehategod with the speed of agoraphobic nosebleed, and almost Jacob Bannon esce vocals. Hailing from Glasgow, featuring ex-members of Torqamada and Fighting Red Adair, also with connections to Julia Thirteen and Loss Leader, their self-titled first album released on Midmarch Records weighed in at 13 tracks and a total running time of 14 minutes! Think Converge with more fucking force and less art and The Locust with less keyboards and more balls!

Desalvo - have been described as ‘brutally chaotic metal molestation‘ and I think that sums them up nicely! Formed in 1999 with ex members of p.h. family, stretchheads, fretlin and also featuring a member of Idlewild, the band wanted to try to blend all the styles of all the band members tastes….metal, complex rock, proto punk, prog rock, and experiment with that, and also to obliterate the barrier between audience and band..they love nothing more than to generate fear, hate and confusion at their live shows! with lurching violent riffs that can't keep to a time signature for more than a couple of bars, Desalvo move from hulking black metal to atonal faster-than-light avant noise and back in the blink of an eye.
