Male Bonding (GB)
A London trio whose debut album, Nothing Hurts (Sub Pop), became a favorite among noise-loving audiences around the world. The songs are short and to the point, the sound is exquisitely filthy, and their noisy racket is somehow radio-friendly — what isn’t there to like? As you read these words, Male Bonding is sitting in a church in Woodstock, busy recording their second album. No joke. There’s no joking with Male Bonding.
