NEWS: Mush @ Pop Recs Ltd.

Some people just find inspiration around every corner, and art rock ensemble Mush are a fine example of this given that their latest record Down Tools is their third full-length release in as many years. Granted, they’ve not been left wanting since their inception in 2015, with a particularly tumultuous political and social landscape from which they have been able to reap their stories. But at least the previous twelve months haven’t been a complete write-off, giving us a new album with some semblance of a positive vibe.

The twang-tastic, twisting grooves of lead single Get On Yer Soapbox sounds like what would happen if you put the DeLorean in a blender and, as a band known for their improvisational approach to music making, it’s unlikely that any live rendition will be a carbon-copy of the recorded version. That doesn’t matter, though, because it will still be mint.

The band pull up at Sunderland’s Pop Recs Ltd on Friday 30^th September, where support comes from Wearside lads Roxy Girls. It’s all been a bit quiet in their corner for the past few months, but with a new drummer in place and a rise in support slots on the horizon, it might be time to see some new material coming from the punctual punks soon enough.
