BRAIN PILLS - Goatshead II BRAIN PILLS

An heady blast of primitive new rock action from Mike Vest's Brain Pills project. Delivering a pummelling akin to many of his aforementioned groups, but now with a more urgent dishing out of the riffs and clamour.

Hot on the heels of the well-received Brain Pills – Goatshead LP is the cunningly titled Goatshead II. The line-up is the same:

Mike Vest is a one-man musical tour de force known for his extensive work with such bands as Bong, Drunk in Hell, 11 Paranoias, Blown Out, and Mienakunaru, to name a few, releasing records on many underground labels such as Riot Season, Ritual Productions, and Cardinal Fuzz.

For Brain Pills, Mike has teamed up with Adam Stone from Poundland on vocals and Nick Raybould from Thought Bubble on drums and artwork – the result is very impressive indeed – primitive but deadly drums, pulverisingly heavy riffs, lots of fuzz and distortion coupled with Adam Stone's demented and haunting vocal style, all topped off by the excellent and disturbing artwork courtesy of Nick Raybould.

Could Goatshead have been a double LP? Of course – but Mike opted for two stand-alone 12" records, and we were happy to accommodate.

The record has again been mastered for this vinyl release by crust punk legend Bri Doom, in-house engineer for Creepy Crawl, known for his work with Sore Throat, Doom, Lazarus Blackstar, and most recently with the excellent Disciple BC. The sound is massive, just what you would expect.
