WET NUNS
Women, death, beards, skulls and whiskey, the dark matters that are ground through stomach-churning guitars and ugly drumming to produce the trademark modern lo-fi blues-stoner-punk sound that has made Wet Nuns stand out in Sheffield, Deep South Yorkshire.
They are now making a wider name for themselves as one of the loudest two-piece bands around. With fake american accents, crowd surfing guitar solos and much banter, their stage show has to be seen. Their pseudonyms are many, but their alcohol tolerance is low.
BROKEN HANDS
There’s a ragged glory to Broken Hands’ output, a rumbling growl and cathartic howl suggesting decades on the road, if not the wagon; half a lifetime of hard days, wild nights and regretful dawns. The fact that the impossibly youthful band are actually only just embarking on their own rock odyssey is hard to fathom then - and will probably prove deeply upsetting for the many addled bluesmen forced to symbolically sell their souls to achieve something like it. The roots of R&B run strong in such young blood, but dare to call what they do ‘classic’ rock and they’ll scoff politely: these are contemporary songs, culled from countless sessions down in their borrowed basement rehearsal space. They’ve just done it in a quiet bit of Kent.
