SHLUG // BAD SHOUT // LACROSS CLUB “An industrial meat grinder lugging noise between the teeth of gears.” December marks the overdue return of SHLUG to CWRW – better still, they’ll have Bad Shout and Lacross Club in tow. The death-coaster that is SHLUG is the unmusical bone saw of mechanical dissonances and distortions with a dubious and violent soundscape prepared to make your eardrums shatter and bleed. The noisy cutthroat non-barbershop quartet create an industrial atmosphere that will evoke primal instincts to its captivated audience, turning CWRW into a pit of rabid dogs. After the success of The Scent of Roy Keane and Self-Hate Portrait came BF/FM and Baby Teef, then debut EP Split The Grin. Don’t trust us, listen to these clever folk: CLASH Magazine – Tom Morgan “The abrasive and downright-feral SHLUG are, on the surface, not the band you’d expect to serve as the city’s de facto scene leaders. Think of them as the reprobate older brothers who bought you booze when you were underage. Their noise-rock/post–punk brew is best consumed live. Transgressive and primal fun from a band that have become a totem of Cardiff’s music scene.” Buzz Magazine – Emma Way “An ensemble who could have stepped out of the 1980s LA punk scene, in their weight SHLUG bring endless, side-splitting, noisy immediacy; on a floor-level stage like this one, it’s concentrated like a bubble about to explode at any given minute.” BBC Radio Wales – Adam Walton “They’re concentrating on noise, the refining noise. They’re making noise even darker and fuzzier than it’s been before. Sharp, blistering and everything I love about noisy music.” // Bad Shout are exponents of raw, howling pync Cymraeg! Think The Damned meets early Husker Du with flecks of Oi and 60s garage…frenzied old-school punk rock! // Lacross Club play loud, fast, catchy punk music that will make you break everything. //
