IN PRAISE OF OUR CD 'MOOD POISONER' !
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Too many bands want to be liked...Desalvo couldn't give a shit...spiralling wildly upwards into brain-mincing genius...it's unfeasibly exciting and genuinely upsetting in equal measure" - 8/10 METAL HAMMER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Mood Poisoner' is a nasty, nasty record, tumescent with aggressive sexuality and the kind of frenzied amoral sonic violence that the UK hardcore scene has ling been missing...UKHC's polymorphously perverse era starts here. PLAN B
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" A startling, gut-wrenching affair...needs to be heard to be believed...8/10" ROCK SOUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"An extremely well-realised debut album from one of Scotland's most prominent sociopathic hardcore acts...4/5" THE SKINNY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" A furious, complex beast...Tight, cruel and ingenious...4/5" THE LIST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"they will completely and utterly destroy your life until you want to kill your family with a premium nail gun. Some of the nicest people I've ever met, though..." Barry Burns of Mogwai in THE SKINNY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Never a dull moment on what has to be one of the heaviest albums of the year." 3/5 KERRANG
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"DeSalvo want to leave a mark- on your body, on your mind, on your pink and unsuspecting eardrums, whatever, jagged jams with subtle melodies...Painful. But brilliant." NEW-NOISE.NET
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hard to listen to after a while...headaches from the word go. If you like your music aggressive, technically brilliant and your arrangements smart...you're going to love Desalvo. 5/5 BIG CHEESE

If I was a model I'd have jugs like spacehoppers.Come to Aberdeen soon, it's chilly as fuck and there's a lack of really tasty bands the noo, cheers Lecht Polanski.
Vom - Awesome dark brooding post-goth from Glasgow. Debut album on At War With False Noise. Cissy - Jazzy metronomic Afro-Beat with an electro backbone. Lovely stuff. Blood Crips - Barnstorming garage rock with a post-punk aftertaste. Society - Lurching psychedelic drone punk.
