Sserpress

Okay, that last piece took a lot out of me. I've been seeing a lot of gigs of late too, and all I want to say is long live the 90's. This next band are probably one of my best kept secrets. Very few seem to know the name, yet once you hear it it's damn impossible to forget. Sserpress. Say it aloud. S-U-P-P-R-E-S-S. I can't stop myself. But enough wordplay, let's get onto the music.

Loud, abrasive, and riff intensive. These guys are totally up my street. And despite having just two demos to their name, they're already coming into their sound. Mixing that lethal combination of metal riffs, garage fuzz and punk attitude, they leave us with what we've now come to know as grunge. It's hard to put a finger on who they remind me of, but I'm tempted to say Mudhoney - one of the early forbearers of Sub Pop grunge. Snarling, grimey, and spitting with attitude. They have a similar drive to their music, every ounce dripping with aggression, with Don Penny's almost primal vocals leading the way and centering around one of the most fearsome drummers I've heard in a long while - dare I say Dave Grohl-esque.

They may not be quite there yet, but I just think they're really something fucking special. These are the long surpressed children of grunge. Let the rise of doom continue.
