Single Review: Dr Slagglebury – Tuc Into The Tar! (Crash Records)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 17 November 2008
Dr Slaggleberry are the kind of math-rockish stoner metal-hardcore band that you don’t mind your chumpy friend who is too old to go to Reading but loves the metal too much playing in the car. There’s weird time signatures and a little bit of Butthole Surfers meets Mastodon guitar love. I thought it was going to be more scary and weird, but they are probably fearsome live. Recorded live for John Kennedy’s Xfm X-posure show, it has a charming low quality edge that brings charm to the vociferous fret attack and hardcore drums. The best song is ‘Tails Of The Blind Donkey’ which jumps around like a hyper kid – like the hyper kids of Rolo Tomassi, perhaps – making growl riffage over rhythm changes, but which then has a chilled out bit (low point alert) that it follows up with even harder stupid riffs. Clever, but wilfully dumb; nonetheless, quite good. PG
