slug guts - howlin' gang

SLUG GUTS made some music blog year end lists, but they somehow evaded me during the spring when their lp HOWLIN GANG came out.....i normally listen to every album that SACRED BONES puts out, many of which i love......but i guess i'm just late to the party on this one......

SLUG GUTS play swampy gothic post punk..... which is a little different from the normal garage rock that TINY GROOVES seems to center around.......

but these guys remind me of THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, early CHRISTIAN DEATH, BAUHAUS and THE CHROME CRANKS........ which are all bands i have much respect for.......

and through the dark moody rock, SLUG GUTS grab you with their ear for chugging melody.....i wouldn't say they're catchy, but i almost wanna sing along in my best monotone JOY DIVISION impression........

SO CHECK SLUG GUTS OUT...
...HOWLIN GANG is perfect for those long cold winter nights we have ahead of us......

watch here...
