SLOVENLY recently dropped this slab of scummy garage scuzz from Athens Greece’s BAZOOKA and my ears couldn’t be happier.

I can only imagine that all of the shit that has been going horribly wrong in Greece has something to do with the darkness in their sound. I wouldn’t call this record depressing though, and as angry as it is, these songs are catchy and well written. Oh, did I mention they have two drummers? Fall in love with this band, right now.
