Showers - Live In Rats Eyes |Maim & Disfigure|



If you listen to your Led Zep or The Who albums and the parts where they freak the fuck out thrill you the most than there's a PARADISE waiting for you downhere. In the land where Showers roam, a land of fuzz and scuzz, dirty sewers and sticky balls rubbing broken fretboards.
Not much of a surprise since they're from Providence, best known for it's fertile noiserock soil spawning freak units like Lightning Bolt, Mindflayer, Forcefield. All sharing creative space at the semi-legendary Fort Thunder. No idea if Showers hang/hung out there as well, although something tells me they'd actually prefer a filty urinoir over the safe luxury of a fort.

Live In Rats Eyes contains exactly the right amount of dirty, sweatsoaked avantgarage noise you're mom can deal with. Six tracks, averaging about 2,5 bloodsoaked minutes. There's definately something charming (and I know that might not be the right word) about some guys not being able to play their instruments in the proper Vai and deliberately creating mayhem with whatever sounds they can sqeeuze out of them. Exploring the fringes of ultimate freedom without knowing there might be such a thing. Unhinged to the bone and that's why you should love it.

Live In Rats Eyes is released on Maim & Disfigure which is the website to the daddies of modern scuzzrock, Lambsbread. Get it all. Eat it all.
