Heading
from the unique hinterland betwixt scouse and woollyback that is St.
Helens The Bordellos have have been ploughing their unique furrow
over the last decade. Making music that's of no fixed genre but mixes
post-punk with alt-folk and whatever form best serves their songs at
any given time. Infused with an outsider spirit and twisted sense of
humour that anyone along the M62 rust-belt will recognize.
Think
Beefheart meeting Half Man Half Biscuit in a Joy Division tribute
band (or summats like that.) Anyway you decide - Their Bandcamp page
is full of free downloads that have overspilled from album and EP
releases along with various radio session tracks and other odds and
ends. Well worth a trawl through. It's full of music that doesn't
take itself too seriously but still has more to say than most of the
dross we're hawked by the corporate music machine. Of particular
interest is their track 'The True Meaning of Record Store Day', a
timely reminder to go out and do something less boring this Saturday
than line up in a queue with amoral speculators.
