Rock music is always in danger of being hijacked by the mainstream. That sounds incredibly pretentious and elitist, but there's nothing worse than seeing one of YOUR bands be covered on the likes of the X Factor or have one of their songs become popular through a TV ad, and all of a sudden people's playlists have YOUR band in-between their Justin Beiber and Rihanna tracks.
Thankfully, I can be rest assured this will not happen with this weeks band.
Yet another band discovered by Mrs C on one of her iTunes sweeps, their debut album is a fucking weird and, let's not mince words here, often unlistenable noise. That's not to say there's not greatness in there but damn. Easy listening it ain't. But well, what do you expect from a band who call their debut record "Champagne Holocaust?"
Step forward, The Fat White Family.
So stoned vocals, discordant wails, chugging guitars..it's as far removed from a commercial rock sound as you're going to get. And sometimes that is A-OK.
Take a listen.
