Je me suis rendu compte par hasard ce soir et pas mal de retard que Sned du regretté label Flat Earth records avait fait une page
Bandcamp. Donc plein de trucs bien, textuellemnt comme musicalement, bien loin du punk rock'n'roll à la française. Et donc je me réécoute des trucs que j'avais pas écouté depuis longtemps, One By One, Health Hazard, Ebola, les fabuleux Headache. Et du coup je redécouvre aussi
Witchknot dont j'avais le vinyl il y'a fort longtemps. Damned, j'avais presque oublié comme c"est vraiment super bien !
Artist: Witchknot
Albums: "Squawk", "Suck" and extras
Years: 1996,1994
Label: Flat Earth
What can I say about this female, vastly overlooked, hugely underrated and insanely amazing post punk band from UK? Obscure and magnificent, Witchknot were way too progressive and experimental for the average punk of the time. Even though their sound is similar to bands like Crass, The Ex and related, they didn't "made" it. Their approach could easily be compared with Guts Pie Earshot as they sounded in the 90's. Witchknot have an amazing cello as well, they were way more experimental and trippy!
Here you can find almost all their discography, minus their 1993 demo. Dig them, dive in their surreal post punk universe, it's never too late. Yet another gem from the european 90's DIY underground.
Ah et y'a Los Crudos aussi
