WHIRLING PIG DERVISH-Full Feather Lovesuit-(Gruff Wit Records-UK-1991)

Great 7 inch by this Scottish post-hardcore band from Glasgow! 
I have already written about them when I posted their cassette Out Of Tune,Out Of Time... released in 1991  just as this vinyl.
Expect the same dose of weird and original sounds, fragmented guitar riffs, broken rhythms, screamed vocals and more rather bizarre passages.
A wonderful 7inch for people into difficult Post-Hardcore Punk to digest.
It comes with a little info-sheet with lyrics, all the relevant scans included here.
Enjoy it.

DAWSON-First Peel Session 09/05/90-(Unreleased-UK-1990)

First Peel session by this amazing Scottish band, I have already posted the second one and some of their studio productions. As the description there fits very well in this post I just gonna C+P it here. I am adding a great video made for the song"Bears Den To Bagdad" discovered on their FB page.
Back in the early 90s, I was in touch with Dawson, They kindly sent me an amazing tape with some live recordings by various Scottish post-hardcore noise bands, the tape also contained 2 Peel sessions by Dawson! Unfortunately, I lost the letter that came with this cassette but I reckon these recordings were not released and I cannot find any info about it. I left them as waves.
I already wrote about this fantastic band: compared to names such as Butthole Surfers and Minutemen, Dawson throws in their songs sheer violence and electric energy mixing some Avant-guard fast chaotic guitars riffs, math rhythms, weird vocals and experimental jingles that make their music original and difficult to categorize.
 Coming out from the very lively Noize Post Hardcore punk scene from the end of last century, they shared common interests and sweats with StretchheadsWhirling Pig Dervish and  Archbishop Kebab, all very original bands hailing from Scotland.  An FB page about them is here, where you can see old flyers and pics, a new band formed by the 3rd era Dawson musicians are called Sumshapes and their Bandcamp page is here, you can listen/buy their album Cabin Biscuits released June 30, 2017.
I guess there is no need to talk about John Peel and his famous radio show, all the music lovers around the world should know John Peel already. The recording of this tape is excellent. 
Enjoy it.

WHIRLING PIG DERVISH-Out Of Tune,Out Of Time...-(Yummy Orgasm Recs-UK-1991)

Amazing cassette by this band hailing from Glasgow(Scotland).
They were part of the avant-hardcore scene of this Scottish town back in the 90s.
Probably friends with bands like:Dawson,Archbishop Kebab, Stretchheads and Keatons.
They play a crazy form of HC punk touching the  highs of Minutmen and The Pop Group with some post punk sounds.
Everything mashed up with screams,acid guitars,some unknown noise, fast drums and powerful bass guitar.
Here  a discogs page dedicated to them where you can read about their other productions.
Enjoy it.
