Dirty, rotten scoundrels, that's Wet Nuns.
The Sheffield duo write songs about the important things in life – which they define as "women, death and beer" – wrapping their slowed down, sludgy riffs around some truly demented vocals.
The blues reconfigured by cavemen, each track from Wet Nuns has a bone crushing intensity which is matched to a goofy, surreal and uniquely Northern wit. Fresh from the success of hosting their own festival, the band are now preparing for the release of their debut album.
Self-titled and due out in October, Wet Nuns will trail their debut full length with upcoming single 'Hanging'. Opening with a cut up, choppy riff which borders on being labelled 'angular' the track then disintegrates into libidinous noise, a noisy squall on a par with the desert blues of Kyuss.
It's filthy, fun and leaves you feeling a little dirty. But then, what's wrong with that? Listen to it now.
