We’re trying to cover different genres of music this weekend, and after the folk sounds of Whale and the Village, its great to switch over to something slightly different. We’ve had the new single ‘Ouch’ from Lava Bangs blasting away on our music playlist all week, so we thought it deserved a few words - especially when they told us that a video had been released as well.
Formed from the band ‘Volcano’, Lava Bangs from Gothenburg have been around for a few years, and they’re a riot grrl indie punk assault of guitars and noise, but its ‘good noise’, with an infectiously likeable quality to it. Anyway the single ‘Ouch’ was recorded at the famous Music A Matic Studio, and there’s no point in describing it, just watch and listen:
The good news is that this is the first single from their forthcoming album, which is due in 2016, so we have plenty to look forward to next year.
