"The Charlottefield Sound is blood raw and primitive ugly/beautiful like kissing someone with a smashed mouth. It’s also out there, abstracted and vaguely sci-fi horror, a ghost story from the moon."
- Anon, Smoking Beagle
"Chainsaw-motored guitars sound wondrously evil and paranoid atmospherics dwell like the bruised purple of a gloriously overcast dusk. As the rhythms change and judder, the band flex to their own foreboding frequencies..."
- Jonathan Falcone, Plan B
"By turns life-affirmingly aggressive, doomy, ballsy, and brazenly punk in an utterly real way, Brighton’s Charlottefield are as raw and naked as it gets; a stripped visceral mess that’s brilliant live. Great, tight drumming, classy basslines, and vicious up-tempo guitar work augmented by insane vocals..."
- Stuart Turnbull, BBC Collective
"Charlottefield offer a nice line in cerebral massaging with hot needles for fingers..." -www.losingtoday.com
"...impressive arrangements of the harsh and the beautiful..." -www.angryape.com
"...and they pulled off such an escape of everything you'd expect from a support band to The Go! Team..." -www.bigyawn.net
"But… Jesus! Can’t you see? They’re… they’re MONSTERS... They ain’t respectable human beings!" -www.airwavesback.com

Walker did the artwork for everything except the Noisestar 12", Cove split 7", Picture Diary 7" and comps. James Dennett played bass on the Cove split 7" and Picture Diary 7" and on the tracks featured on the Un17 and Twominutemen compilations. You can get a t-shirt designed by Walker from the band or from here.

This is quite a large file (the PDF is print quality, so if you wanted to print out a copy rather than stare at a computer screen you can. The 'zine will print at 300dpi and pages are sized at A5) so it may take a few minutes to download.
We are already working on the next issue (due out in January) and are always looking for contributors. If you would like to contribute to TBB or think that there is something we should know about please get in touch with us either here or, better still, visit our forum, sign up and get involved there. TBB is not just about music, we want to hear about anything underground, alternative or left of center.
Just got back from a special night. Read the fantastic comments below and was genuinely bowled over. Thanks especially to Libi and all in Spain. And whoever deleted all the spam. C
