HUGGY BEAR - "Our Voltage" (Peel Session) - Record of the Day

HUGGY BEAR – “Our Voltage” (Peel Session) – Record of the Day

Here is Brighton, UK riot punks Huggy Bear and their tune “Our Voltage”, recorded on John Peel’s program, 16 May 1993. Seeing as they aren’t being reissued at all, they do have an impressive online presence, largely because they meant a lot to young women and queer punx in the early to mid 90’s. They played an all woman show with Hole in 93, and toured with and released records with Bikini Kill.…

Vow & Body Betrayal: Der Vorschein einer anderen Weise

Mit Body Betrayal und Vow erscheinen auf Our Voltage zwei Bands, die ihre sexualpolitischen Aussagen mit Kunst und Körper transportieren.

We we're recently featured in SPEX Magazine out of Berlin along side Our Voltage and label mates VOW. We'll hopefully have the English version of the interview up soon. <3

Body Betrayal's "Soft Cage" 12" got reviewed in this month's Maximum Rocknroll: "All judgment and obvious musings about the one sided 12" 45 format aside (to be fair, the flipside is etched, but still...), I am into this record. Simultaneously epic and erratic song structures with a crushing production, songs like 'My Gender Is Queer' demand repeat listens to fully digest. There are blasts, discordance abounds, and the vocals reach back to a time when emo wasn't a dirty word and instead implied a personal intensity. The title track that closes is a perfect (almost d-beat) burner with a mandatory mosh crammed into the middle, and a seriously dark heavy outro--a combination that kinda sums up 'Soft Cage' as a complete work. On second thought, maybe the format is perfect? I just want to move the needle back to the start when it's over...it's not as if I don't want more, but rather that I want more of this. So I'll listen again."
