What do you do when you’re a bona fide powerhouse in the world of grind, power violence and noisecore? When you’ve already assured your place in the genres’ histories thanks to your role in - among others – The Locust, Some Girls, and All Leather? Well, the answer is that you go and keep forming new bands to blow people’s tits off in new and exciting ways. Such is the way of Retox, the current musical vehicle that Justin Pearson is using to batter audience’s braincells flat with – have a listen and see what we mean.

If you’ve got any braincells still working after that, then you’d be wise to get them along to CAMP Basement in East London tomorrow night, as the gig that Retox are playing there will surely finish the job.

In addition to Retox’s headline set, there’s the matter of the support bands – both of which we’ve told you to put on your Bands I Really Need To Check Out ASAFP Lists for a while now. Opening the show is Pettybone, who we highlighted as part of our Future Hits series as far back as January, and who’s album we gave a solid 5 out of 6 to when we reviewed it earlier this afternoon. The of course there’s Tropics, who we’ve previously described as “furious, tumultuous hardcore…[that] sounds like all your favourite underground bands shoved into one”.  If that hasn’t sold you on this gig, you’re an idiot. Check out the flyer:

As you can see from the poster above, tickets will set you back £7 (plus £1 in fees) if you’re quick about it and buy one now. They’ll probably be a couple of quid more expensive if you risk it tomorrow and turn up hoping to pay on the door. That’s assuming the last few spaces haven’t sold out by then – so don’t say we didn’t warn you if you roll up tomorrow evening and you can’t get in.
