Weirds new track ‘Dig’ is a three minute blast of bile, biting guitars and rolling choruses. Written in a sweat-drenched basement late this summer, the track is the band’s first release on their ‘Heavy Records’ imprint. ‘It’s great fun to play live’ Zachary Thomas, the group’s guitarst grins, ‘The chorus has some pretty rapid fret wanking which enables me to stand there looking like some sort of shit Tom Morello
Having ripped their way into the public psyche with ‘Yolk’ / ‘Crocodile’ the band have been locked away in ‘the North’, pulsing with the manic energy of Psycho era Nicholson, and commiting twisted sludge-rock monsters to tape. ‘Off the Hook’ was the first taste of their new material, and now, with ‘Dig’, the boys are giving us the first full glimpse of their new skin. The production is as crisp , The guitars ooze muddy-menace, and lead singer Aiden veers wildly between hushed meance and full bodied bellows. It might be the best thing they’ve done to date andthat’s no easy feat. The four-piece are heading out for an nine-date, independant tour in early January.
