SNOTNOSED: Cock Vomit cassette on Second Layer Records

[Pete Johnstone]

Snotnosed 'Cock Vomit' out now on Second Layer Records.



Snotnosed is Michael Gillham (Nihilist Assault Group, Smell & Quim, Halalchemists etc.) and 'Cock Vomit' is a brand new 23 minute track of destructive junk noise recorded in real-time with no overdubs or editing. When I first heard this it conjured up images of something feral rapidly throwing junk across a room. There was hardly any reverb used and the sounds weren't lost in distortion, so there was little in the way of hearing how this was recorded live. This is a relentlessly physical and violent track, and one that doesn't resort to the usual tactics of rapid cut-ups to create this effect. If you're into noise that evokes pure destruction then this is for you. Single-sided cassette with the material repeating on side B. Limited edition of 100 copies in full colour sleeve. For fans of Hanatarash, Vivenza, Killer Bug, etc.

An excerpt from a great Idwal Fisher review:-

"Anyone who has been lucky enough to see Snotnosed in action will have seen Gillham swing sledge hammers, break his bones, draw blood, destroy stages, light fittings, floors. Most gigs end with the audience huddled together at the back of the venue with owner stood blocking the exit, arms folded with a look that said 'nobody gets past me till all this shit is cleared up and I have compensation'.

Cock Vomit is a constant wall of destruction. Two sides that sounds like all the best smashing up bits of a Hanatarash gig edited together to make up two sides of junk annihilation. Sleeve says 'performed and recorded by Michael Gillham at the Creche' and if this is indeed the result of a live performance then I'm impressed. It would have to have been an old gig though as I remember Snotnosed jacked in for the very same reason that their Japanese heroes did. Expect total mayhem, total destruction and lots of cocks of course. Gillham writhes around in his (de)construction like an eight limbed Japanese noise monster, at the bottom of the mix you can hear glass shattering, steel drums meeting their end, pipes being clattered, heavy thuds and through it all a non-stop barrage of chopped box noise hitting you behind the ear, a dislocated bombardment, a pain in the head. If anything Snotnosed sound more like The New Blockaders at full tilt which may explain why there's a collaborative release between the two in the pipeline. Its also the best Snotnosed release to date."
