Polute - Dirty Swig

  


  What do you get if you take members of C.O.F.F.I.N., Stiff Richards and Cutters and lock them in a room for a week with nothing but gravel to gargle and Motorhead albums pumping out of the sound system? You'd probably get something like this...

  Polute are Ben Portnoy (drums/vocals), Arron Mawson (guitar) & Brendan Stringer (bass). They're a 3 piece from Rye. They're this week's Australian band of the week (recent winners of that accolade include the likes of The Prize, Mannequin Death Squad, Split System (a band who also feature Arron Mawson), Boudicca, The Owen Guns and Doe Street (a band who also feature Arron Mawson!)).



  They've just released a debut ep that's 4 tracks of raw, sleazy punk n roll with Ben gargling his way through his vocal duties as though his throat is in serious need of copious TCP whilst the rest of the band thrash away furiously in support. A Self Titled offering, it's available on ltd edition coloured 7" vinyl (deep purple or piss orange) and digital download via Legless Records   https://polute.bandcamp.com/album/polute


  This is the lead track, it's called Dirty Swig...

Had enough
Packing up
Drunk the tar
Dripped in my cup

Dirty swig
Done me over
No trust in ya droolin jaw

No lashing out
The cut is clean
No sitting 'bout
Once the bull is freed 
Hear the horns 
Whistle in the wind
Holdin' ya down
The hand that brought you in

Dirty swig
Done me over
No trust in ya droolin jaw
Dirty swig
Over
No Trust In Your Weeping Eyes

All the handshakes and all the brawls
All for one? Well fuck ya all
I've drunk...
