Bloodspray For Politics

First band of the night usually plays to a fairly empty crowd and Bloodspray For Politics were no different, although they did manage to pull in a little more than the norm once they started playing.

This four peice from palmy yield a lot of low end groove filled riffs that I will attempt to describe as “what sludge would sound like if it had great big metal balls, infused with a bit of groove to top it all off”. Now we all now it takes a crowd a little while to warm up and get into the feel of the night, but halfway through their set they managed to have a handfull of dedicated moshers who kept it up for the rest of the night.

Performance wise these guys are tight, the whole band meshes and moshes together quite well, the only downfall of their show would be the vocalists tendancy to cup the mic, which resulted in a lot of feedback that hid what was some great vocal work. This is only a minor thing which can be easily remedied and I look forward to seeing more of these guys at their next show!
