BASHFORD - Greener Grasses LP (colour vinyl)
Includes d/l code.
Limited edition blue colour vinyl.
Fuzzy grunge that hinge more of Seattle circa 1988 than Seattle circa 1992. Gouging melodies. Searing bass riffs. Crushing drums. Fuzzy omnipotent guitars.
Bashford brings excitement and grit to a decaying music scene gasping for a breath of fresh air. Bashford is loud and we like to rock and party so expect the unexpected! Warning: These are not your cookie-cutter clean vocals! Bashford sounds like a pack of cigarettes laced with LSD!
This is Bashford's 5th album and by far its most raucous. Songs like "Bitter Masses" point at the absurdity of routine living and "Supermanic" plays at the bands devil-may-care attitude.
"Spiraling" talks about an innate desire to be wild and the track "Unrefined" showcases their chaotic nature and punk roots. Talking about relationship trauma is the song "Serendipity". And if you want a song that symbolizes the smell of sweat and beer in a packed basement punk show then "Gateway To The Underworld" is for you.
Loud screaming vocals hover over heavily distorted guitars and fast drumbeats to create an environment of controlled aggression. Fun to dance to; head-bang to; jump to; or whatever the hell you want to do, Greener Grasses delivers on being a riotous, tumultuous album.
