There are some bands who are just noise (eg. The Catheters) and some who are a beautiful noise. S.Rock Levinson happen to be the latter, which is very much a Good Thing, I’m sure you’ll agree. Especially good as you’d expect AC/DC fans, who describe themselves as sounding like “a bus filled with leopards crashing into a machete factory”, to make some very beautiful noise. And they do! Right, now we’ve got that settled, what do they sound like?

They sound like a bus filled with leopards crashing into a machete factory, as it happens.

Prepare to get very excited about this band. You love it, you whore! Big basslines! Chunky riffs! Wired frontman! Powerchords! Stop-start bits! Leopards!!! Machetes!!! In a BUS!!! YES!!! In more words, rather like the Pixies being poked in the eye by Jetplane Landing and Joy Division.

Expect the word to travel rather quickly, but in hushed “where has this band suddenly sprung from?” tones, so consider this your first formal warning.

s.rock levinson - London Camden Dublin Castle

cool it with the Catheters bashing.

Re: s.rock levinson - London Camden Dublin Castle

... yeah the catheters produce lovely sexy noise dammit!

Re: s.rock levinson - London Camden Dublin Castle

Well I think they are poo on a stick.

Re: s.rock levinson - London Camden Dublin Castle

even so, its a bit random to insult a little known garage punk band in your review, doesnt seem particuarly relevant.

Re: s.rock levinson - London Camden Dublin Castle

I was using an example of what I was writing about. Soooo..... I'm sure it won't harm their millions of record sales.

Re: s.rock levinson - London Camden Dublin Castle

millions of record sales? are the catheters actually that big? i saw them in a pub with about 6 people dancing, not exactly wembley stadium material.

Re: s.rock levinson - London Camden Dublin Castle

aye, they've sold more copies than 'Thriller'! REALLY!

Re: s.rock levinson - London Camden Dublin Castle

targeting sarcasm by using sarcasm? nice. ;)

Re: s.rock levinson - London Camden Dublin Castle

hehe, ill agree to disagree. i dont think i can deal with over two levels of sarcasm.

Re: s.rock levinson - London Camden Dublin Castle

Scar Casm, now there's a good band.
