Craw are great and you’ve just reminded me of a whole load of early Hydra Head bands that I’ve not listened to in an age. Today I’m going to be mostly listening to Craw, Keelhaul and Knut
That Keelhaul and Knut show in london in whatever year was next level. such a good night.
bloody love knut. riffs which make you twitch a bit
Craw though. Swoooooon.
Bodies from Strontium 90 is such an overlooked album. They should have been as big as any of the main noise rock bands from back then but never really broke through. such a shame.
I must’ve missed that but I did see Keelhaul and Envy at The Underworld around 2003/04… that was an exceptional gig though the turnout was disappointing. Can’t find any trace of the gig happening apart from an Earthtone9 Facebook post saying how good it was.
damn, I would have loved these guys when I was really into this kind of thing (I mean I still am, but this would have really hit the spot then). on hydrahead too and I don’t even remember having heard of them. What a failure of diligence!
feel like that’s the great lost hydra head record or something. They never seemed to get props critically or turn up in lists or whatever, but someone always, rightly, pops up when HH records are being discussed and mentions this. absolute banger
Agree. Incredible EP. Spent ages trying to track down a copy in record stores in Boston one summer. Was very pleased when I finally got it.
They reunited for some live dates a few years back, but never released any more material I don’t think. Am gutted I didn’t know they’d reunited at the time, and missed the opportunity to see them live.
Was just looking up a bit about them and see that the EP was remastered by James Plotkin onto 45 rpm vinyl a few years back. Think I may have to avail myself of one of those!
