Bugdust

Welcome To The City Of Snakes

Index Entertainment

8/10

Guitars that grind their through your gut like tapeworm, drums that walk all over you like one of those Japanese massage chicks, bass that throbs like the headache you get from 27 vodka jelly shots and vocals that that mix grunt with gravel, Melbourne rock demons Bugdust have followed up a couple of EPs with an album that proves you can mix sheer swinging-balls fury with songwriting nous. Recorded in El Paso, Texas, with champion producer bloke Neil Kernon (Judas Priest, Sex Pistols), City Of Snakes doesn't hold back the punches, sounding both classic and innovative while fusing a stoner vibe into a pub rock sound that could fill stadiums.
