Bushpilot were an early/mid 90s Leeds- based band whose sound shows the influences that fire their tremendous racket- Krautrockers like Can, US punk and post rock groups such as Slint, the tough grooves of James Brown and Funkadelic. Trebly guitars, sharp riffs, punk funk bass and loud motorik drums, energy and spirit in abundance, and songs with titles like Big Quaalude Thunder Nothing and Jesus Loves That Rock N Roll. I'm not saying they should have been massive but there is plenty going on here and there are multitudes of bands circa.1994/5 who sold many more records with far less going on. Their recordings have recently been re-issued on vinyl and digitally by God Unknown Records.
Blimey, this is good. Never heard of them. Are these archive recordings or have they reformed? Either way, thanks for the introduction SA.
ReplyDeleteArchive recordings Swede. I thought you'd like them.
