Is there anything better than a Thrash Hits Festival Splash Page? Yeah, loads of things but you won’t find the best online festival coverage on any of them. You’ll find that right here. All our work from Bloodstock Open 2012 is going be linked to from this page (eventually), so give it a bookmark or just don’t close it, because it’s all you’re going to need. Interviews, photos, setlists, rumours, and who knows? – maybe even some tiny reviews – it’s all here. [Read more →]
They might’ve started as a doss-about band for various members of a whole host of noisy London-based bands of bastards, but DripBack meant serious business at Bloodstock Open Air 2012. With a new album due before the end of the year, and at least one of the band finding the energy to keep drinking until 5am on Saturday, DripBack are looking more and more like they’ve got the legs to turn into a tasty long-term prospect.
Well, we were just sent the new Dripback video. ‘Kick Out Time’ is two minutes and forty-one seconds of five angry men in a dirty room interspersed with stolen news footage of those ruddy riots. You know Dripback stole the footage though. You know they did. We asked bassist, Adam Da Rat what it was all about…
Whose garage was this filmed in?
“Actually, it was filmed at a squat in South London hence the Sons Of Anarchy style backdrop. Everyone should go to more squat gigs.”
It just wouldn’t be Download without Hugh getting bummed by/bumming a band. Instead of bumming Pepper Keenan, this time it’s his turn to be bummed, byAdam Da Rat, bassist for superb London grindcore lot, DripBack. Mmm, bumming. Mmm, sandwich.
