Nothingheads’ new single, a style of their forthcoming EP, is an aural blast of jagged guitars to make Keith Levene proud.
The return of post-punk to the fore lately has, as soon as once more, develop into shorn of the vitality of pushing the degrees and smashing by means of the fourth wall to fireplace a blunt-force message at point-blank vary proper into the listeners’ consciousness. A revival that seemingly began with the high-powered pummelling of IDLES descended into radio-friendly sprechgesang. Nothingheads are right here to pull it kicking and screaming again to the place it must be, firmly injecting the Punk again into the combo on their new single 3000 Years In Showbusiness.
It riots alongside like PiL, confrontational and searing, angular guitars firing out over and tank-driven rhythmic rumble of the drums and bass, dissonant blasts over which singer Rob Fairey fires focused missives, aimed on the hypocrisy of the occasions we inhabit. It locations them effectively within the mould of bands like Mclusky, biting in its dismantling.
On the video for the track, the band say: “‘From the traditional colosseum, to casinos, cockfights, porn and actuality TV, there’s at all times been a must entertain and be entertained, so long as eyes are watching and cash’s coming in. So we tried to make a non-linear video to loosely discover that theme.”
