Born in a witches cauldron -



Part Chimp hails from the UK and plays noise rock that (even at moderate volumes) sounds deafeningly loud. They (for the most part) throw melody out the window and spew forth a sludgey and bombastic cloud of pummeling guitar feeback and crashing cymbals. Even when the music quiets and the guitars go clean, you know its only a matter of seconds until the onslaught of riffage begins again. I am sure that the amps used by the guys in Part Chimp go to eleven and possible higher. This is music that will make your ears bleed with pleasure. Their sophomore album I Am Come is out now on the UK label Rock Action Records. RIYL: Lightning Bolt, QOTSA, DFA 1979, Black Sabbath.

You're killing me! I love Part Chimp, and you beat me to them . . . I had a post planned for later this week.

That aside, great post. The thing I really like is the indie elements, the fact that there's almost a jangle to some parts of the songs.

Yeah. The quieter parts are just breathers.
