Savages – Husbands

Savages – Husbands

I first stumbled upon Savages during an interview with Death In Vegas. When Richard Fearless recommended them to me, I immediately checked out the YouTube video for ‘City’s Full’ Obviously I was blown away, most bands do not sound like that anymore. I caught them live in July at Leeds Cockpit in a room not much bigger than my living room, filled with about 50 die hard fans/people in the know. Obviously I was blown away, most bands are not that good anymore. ‘Husbands’ is so bloody fantastic it had to be reissued due to popular demand when everyone caught up & realised how amazing Savages really are.

Revolving around a bass line tight enough to garrotte you, ‘Husbands’ also features a guitar blast so brutal you could probably get bruises from it, as well as those heavy drum’s & cymbals. By the time of vocalist Jehn’s breathy chant of husbands as the song fades out, you are practically on the floor, hair ruffled a bit delirious, it’s almost post coital…. pass me a cigarette. 6.4/10
