New Year. Fresh canvas. Sheffield rockers Scrim release their second record, the visceral ‘Talking In Code’ EP on April 7th via the truly amateur Black Moon Records. Catch them live, in their hometown when they perform at the Plug.
‘Talking in Code’ is a 4-track bonanza of brazen riffs, teenage kicks and killer licks. “The songs here are quite different to the first single,” says lead singer Alek McGovern. “It’s not as aggressive, and is more lyrically driven, with a lot more groove.”
Opening track, ‘Talking in Code,’ jumps straight in with an intense blast of nose-bleed guitars, before ‘At The Disco,’ delivers a slice of sonic steel which sees Alek on a night out at Sheffield’s legendary club, the Crazy Daisy. It’s Scrim at their poppiest, complete with punching hooks and shimmering guitars. Next up is the majestic 'Open Your Eyes,' an infectious stand out track, clearly influenced by the likes of the Foo Fighters. And lastly, the end is nigh with the short climax of 'Supersize'. Led Zeppelin beware.
Background:
Forged in steel, the four young bucks have been creating an increasingly toxic noise in South Yorkshire since they formed back in 2004. The band gelled from the off and started hitting the live circuit in 2005, where they proved capable in blending their various styles and influences to create a unique sound. In 2006 they were singed to Black Moon Records and last year saw the release of their debut single – “My Revolution" / "Old School.”
The band is fronted by the tigerish, post-teen against-the-machine snarl of Alek McGovern on vocals and rhythm guitar, with the Scrim sound defined by lead guitarist John Li’s towerblock-high riffs and shriek-back solos. Add to that, the cranked-up shit-kicking drums of Mister John Clarke and Dave Glasby's pumped jazz basslines to complete Scrim: a band with a mission.
“Talking In Code” drops on Black Moon Records April 7.
Scrim are: Alek McGovern (Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), John Li (Lead Guitar), Dave Glasby (Bass) and John Clarke (Drums)
