From the UK's blackened core (aka Leicester) comes Nothing Clean, whose members have spent time in such excellent outfits as Mangle, Hangover Heartattack, Diet Pills and Meatpacker. After a number of split EPs this is their first album proper, with some songs making a reappearance alongside brand new ragers. For a minimal outlay you get maximum bang for your buck with about forty songs in 20 minutes. Powerviolence is the word, bordering on grindcore at times. This is legitimately vicious, intense stuff, allowing itself little room for variation but instantly establishing this quartet as one of the Shittish Isles' finest, fastest hardcore combos. Bordering on grindcore for sure, Nothing Clean are honouring the spirit of the most insanely compact West Coast powerviolence bands of the mid-90s: Spazz and Lack Of Interest, particularly.
Release date 01/07/18.
Limited to 500 LPs on black vinyl.
Co-released with:
Abusive Noise
Circus Of The Macabre

This thing is enjoyably exhausting, truth be told. 'Cheat' serves as a 41-track smash-and-grab raid that's hardcore at heart but takes what it needs from grind and powerviolence along the way. Despite the mammoth undertaking there's enough variance in the songwriting to ensure things never become dull or samey, the carefully-clipped riffs and oxygen-free beats maintaining a sense of freakish energy and power for the album's duration. A muscled-down, less-metal Despise You suits quite nicely by way of comparison, though with what's currently going on across the UK – Human Cull, Lugubrious Children, Groak et al – you could just say that Nothing Clean are another sterling example of homegrown bitterness and brutality.
