Virvon Varvon - GOOGLE IT

  

  "You just need to type it in..." 

  It's been 5 years since I last featured London band Virvon Varvon. At the time I described them as "Garage punk that's catchy as hell, scuffed up pop that brings to mind the kind of trashy but oh so cool bands that Tina Lucchesi has graced" https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/04/virvon-varvon-mind-cancer.html

  The song I featured was the title track of the Mind Cancer cassette which was released by Girlsville  https://girlsville.bandcamp.com/album/virvon-varvon-mind-cancer

  Now Girlsville are unleashing a new cassette from the band titled Four Bars Of Hate. Maybe a better title for it would be 8 Tracks Of Chaotic Punk Fun! The scuffed up pop tunes are still present and correct, it's an album that impresses from the get go as vocalist Hanne Highway suggests forcibly that maybe Baby should be left in the corner. That's far from the only treasure on a release that demands repeat plays though as you'll discover if you click here : https://girlsville.bandcamp.com/album/virvon-varvon-four-bars-of-hate-2

 

  The track I'm highlighting is a brief piece of advice. GOOGLE IT... 

Virvon Varvon - Mind Cancer

  Virvon Varvon are a new band to me but damn they're good. They feature members of the likes of Black Time, Wake Up Dead, Candy Highway and The Jazz June, they're from the UK and the line up is Hanne Highway (vocals), Stix Champion (drums), Koala (guitar/vocals), Rob Bass (bass) and Lemmy Caution (guitar). They play "Angry, Gnarly, Claustrophobic, Paranoid punk anthems for our times!"

  They've just started taking pre orders for their new cassette, it's titled Mind Cancer and it'll be released on one of the most interesting labels around, Girlsville. Based in Portland, Oregon, the label has been responsible for super cool recent releases by The Prissteens, Hood Rats, Coachwhips, Mr. Airplane Man, Towanda etc. You can order the cassette and/or stream 8 of the songs here :   https://girlsville.bandcamp.com/album/virvon-varvon-mind-cancer

  Garage punk that's catchy as hell, scuffed up pop that brings to mind the kind of trashy but oh so cool bands that Tina Lucchesi has graced, the album is a definite winner. I'll play a different track on Sunday's Just Some Punk Songs show but today you're getting the title track. This is Mind Cancer...
