Shove - Chopper

  There looks to be a few decent releases coming on Friday. One which might not get the same fanfare as a couple of the bigger hitters but looks as though it'll be no less worthy of your attention is the new Self Titled ep by Melbourne quartet Shove. 

  I played them on the show early in 2020 (an excellent and very promising track called No Through Road) and made a mental note to keep an eye out for future releases. I then seem to have missed their next song, Non Essential Citizen. Happily, I'm back on the ball and am today highlighting one of the new songs. 

  Lining up with Bella Kranjec (vocals), Adrian Vernon (guitar), James Hale (bass) & Hamish Storrie (drums), they're a band who feature members of the likes of Shit Sex, Eat-Man and Burger Chef. Their sound is shouty hardcore with guitars that squeal as though they're being tortured. It's exhilarating stuff.

 

  The ep will be available on 7" vinyl (ltd to 200 copies) via local label Rack off Records. You can pre order it here (and stream a couple of tracks, including new single Eddie) :  https://shovemc.bandcamp.com/album/shove-ep

  This song's's called Chopper...
