In the space between their initial emergence and right now, Slowcoaches could have written approximately 300,000,000 songs. Such is the brevity and excitability of the tracks, a select few might’ve devoted half of their lives to listening to each and every one of them. Instead of becoming the most prolific band on Earth however, the Leeds group have bided their time, refining every lurching, beastly guitar line and making sure their garage punk is fit for sore ears across the country.
Their returning release, the ‘We’re So Heavy’ EP, is a refreshing synergy of No Age at their loudest, Bos Angeles at their most grizzly and fellow First On favourites Dolfinz’s catchiest underground hits. Each of the EP’s six songs grabs your by the ear - nigh on removing it from its socket - and throws you into a fire-breathing monster’s cave of rabid guitar riffs. It’s a gloriously harsh experience.
The We’re So Heavy cassette is out through Tye Die Tapes on 23rd March.
