[Garage/Punk/noise]
I had a friend who once said to me "Sam, me and you are going to make one hell of a band, it's going to be Fugazi meets Big Black meets Sonic Youth" that friend, he now works in an office selling Printer Ink and Toner to businesses in Glasgow. The reason I mention this is because a few months ago I was given the pleasure of hearing TV Ghost's debut full-length album Cold Fish and the first thought that came to mind was of my friend and his dream when we were younger before his mother cut off his trust fund and he had to start paying rent himself. See, TV Ghost sound pretty much how I'd imagined our Sonic Youth, Big Black, Fugazi bastard child would sound... only, better.
The album is only 10 tracks long and comes in at something like 25 minutes. It's short, but not an unforgetful experience. It's fast, loud, chaotic and everything music should be. The fuzzy distorted guitars, the harsh drumming the unassuming vocals, it's the kind of album you play at 11 and tell your neighbours in that dingy shitty apartment you stay in to fuck off.
Although don't really do that, it just ends up with you coming off as a dick and the landlord telling you to pack your shit because here is your six weeks notice and he wont be writting you a positive reference letter so you're going to have to move back with your parents or into another shitty apartment where the don't want references because you possibly can't do anything that hasn't already been done. Figuratively speaking of course..
