"THE WITCHES have got to be one of Manchester’s most interesting and avant-garde bands right now. The spirit of grunge and garage is turned into a deviant cocktail of sawn off sonics and deliberate detuning. The guitar wears a frequent pitch-bending effect that wrangles the notes off-key, whilst splitting out the high frequencies. It’s loud and ear-damaging. There’s a chaos and at times a lot of distorted shouting. There is however a genius touch. The songs evolve, sometimes gently, sometimes suddenly, into focus. It may be a chorus with glorious four chord sequences or it might just be one occasional line of melody. It means their tunes occasionally surface from the stormy, intelligent fracas. The Witches, just on their value of sound alone, have created something truly unique. There are no real comparisons to be made here and they dig deep into the soul of hazy rock to create this entertaining disturbance. I’ve not heard a Witches record yet and I’m not sure how they’ll record this, but it will, I promise, be something special.'
Sink yer plastic fangs into the prequel to the sequel with usual Gin Club fancy dregs and vague weekend nod to the 1980s. Radiation, contamination!
Before foolishly creeping onward into the dark heart of the the old house that is Manchester for further arent they dead yet? No here they come again in an abandonned warehouse! from 'Headless Check In' (Babrbarians/The Duds) & their all screaming all skeleton air hostess support crew. Rituals and booze dance ceremony ghouls on til the coffin closes
