Kurokuma – ‘Sheffield’s Best Metal Bands Vol.1’

This is a strange little release, to say the least. From the overly confident, compilation-like title, to the extremely varied musical content within, Sheffield psych-sludge trio Kurokuma seem to have one main aim; to confuse, bewilder, and overwhelm the listener. ‘RVN’ opens things up with a hypnotic, churning bassline that

Hot Milk – ‘Are You Feeling Alive?’

Every now and again, a new band will come along that demand immediate attention – a ‘no questions asked, drop everything and get listening on repeat immediately’ type of band. Manchester’s Hot Milk fell easily into that category when they appeared in January this year with debut single ‘Awful
