Bruise Control - Useless

 

  So it's Sunday which means later today there's a new Just Some Punk Songs show (all are welcome, there's even a chatroom in which you can comment on the bands that are being played :   https://www.facebook.com/events/617627672185743/). A couple of bands featuring this week are from the north west of England, are both new to me and have recently released debut ep's on a new label called Rad Noise Records (https://www.facebook.com/radnoiserecords/). Both bands, Spillage and Bruise Control sound very promising indeed so check them out, along with a bunch of other new releases, on the show later.

  For today's update, I'll be concentrating on Bruise Control. They're a 5 piece from Manchester who play an instantly recognisable style of shouty UK punk. It's familiar but fresh and it'll make you want to move around. They had a debut gig lined up for April but obviously this was scuppered by the pandemic. Once things start returning to normal and gigs resume I can easily envisage plenty of sweaty bodies bouncing around to their music. There's 4 tracks on the ep and they're all energetic and gnarly garage bangers.


 The ep was released on a cool looking yellow cassette but this seems to have quickly sold out. It's available as a name your price download though :  https://radnoiserecords.bandcamp.com/album/st

  This is the opening track and it also appears on a very good compilation called Punk Without Borders which features Spillage, Subhumans, Autonomads, Roughneck Riot, Pete Bentham And The Dinner Ladies and many more and which is in aid of Liverpool Migrant Solidarity Network :   https://liverpoolmigrantsolidarity.bandcamp.com/album/punk-without-borders 

  This is Useless...
