COSMIC INTRODUCTIONS: THEE ALCOHOLICS (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO STREAM)

Good old Joe from Hey Colossus has done what many of us always talk about doing but never do, started a label. A bloody good one too called Wrong Speed Records.
He gave me some future releases to listen to and this one by a brand new band called THEE ALCOHOLICS absolutely floored me. It took me back to the days of bands like Todd and Men of Unitus mixed with a Pharoah Overlord kinda' vibe. Motorik filth!
I started quizzing him about the mystery peeps in this seemingly accomplished act who have come from nowhere but he stayed shtum!
From the label:
"This album ten track 25-minute rager from South East London. Aggro noise rock boiled down to its essence, no messing about. Recorded in a flat overlooking the South Circular road May-June 2020.
Two guitars, key-bass, drums, voice, and a couple of guest appearances. The gnarly big muff energy of early Tad and Mudhoney mixed with the industrial crush repetition of Godflesh. Vocals ugly and buried like the Brainbombs. Mastered by Jon Hamilton outta Part Chimp. 50 cassettes. Pay what you want download. You need this in your life.
Speaking as the label person, this is the shit that make you want to punch holes in the wall. This label is for the music that has an outsider energy. It doesn't matter what genre, if it's got a zip about it I can tell. Thee Alcoholics are the shit. Tuck in. Hope they play live at some point".
It's a total honour to be announcing the existence of this band and check out the exclusive stream of their video for "Karens God Plan", what a fucking rager!
The album comes on this Friday through the Wrong Speed Records Bandcamp. Limited to 50 tapes (£5) and digital (PWYW).
I'm so glad bands like this still exist.
