CHROME CELL TORTURE - "LAUGH THEN LIE" 7"

LULU'S: CCT have dropped some truly drizzling grit from the sunnier parts of the Australia's East Coast. The lazy picture to stroke is Oily Boys vocals over tuff Low Life tracks (and it's even better than that implies). The truth is it's explosive, maniacal rock music. If you cast your ears back to early days of post punk/death rock you'll find examples where these bands were as hard as nails (Christian Death demos, live Joy Div cuts, Club Of Rome etc.) and this energy is what's being channelled here; confusion, anger, solitude, noise, thumps, soul, grit, drizery... Pure  f u c k i n g  drizery. Pure hurt. Pure outburst.

CCT is proper ugly and it's proper beautiful and I can't tell if they know or care. Take note, this is how you do it.
