‘Bad Water’, the latest LP by Canada’s aggressive punks Dig It Up, is unapologetic. Fast, frantic and angry, it takes the visceral anger of fellow Canadians Cancer Bats, the attitude of Gallows and the subtle melody of The Ghost Of A Thousand, presenting it in a gritty package.

And there are riffs. Big riffs. The screams are offset by intricate guitar work, giving it an animated twist that doesn’t detract from its abrasive force. “Party punk fun for the whole family,” is how they describe themselves, so grab your friends and loved ones and turn this up loud.
