Turbowolf - Ancient Snake
Any band calling themselves Turbowolf have a lot to live up to - it’s certainly a name that pulls no punches. Much like say, Raging Speedhorn, it’s the kind of moniker that pigeonholes a group before they’ve even picked up an instrument.
Yet by some lucky coincidences, it turns out that Bristol
based Turbowolf are indeed exactly what you might suspect: an
unremitting sonic onslaught of electric death. Or close enough. Their
single ‘Ancient Snake’ is a claustrophobic, blistering, intense
ball of punk rock with screeching vocals and coarse production. This
just-under-three-minute-storm of craziness positively bursts with
energy from beginning to end. It may as well be the posterboy for
rocking out as the band do it perfectly. It’s loud, fast, and most of
all it’s fun.
Fading
in with feedback, the song leaps straight into a humping stoner-esk
riff that manages to sound twenty times heavier than it should. Vocals
screech, drums clatter and bass pounds, and not much changes for 180
seconds; there’s no drop in intensity, no let up for the listener.
You’re either in or you’re out.
Turbowolf sound like Wolfmother’s
mental cousin or Zeke’s off the rails twin brother, they’re exhausting
just to listen to but at the same time create a total buzz for the
listener. Just don’t forget your earplugs if you’re near the front.
