Bumsnogger's gnarly sludgepunk crawls out of that whole scene of UK bands that took Black Sabbath's bluesy metal, harsh crustcore, and the most negatory
sludge imaginable and vomited up a particularly virulent strain of skumfuck stoner metal - other outfits that pushed this sort of ugly heaviosity included
Iron Monkey, Mistress, Charger, Black Eye Riot, and Lazarus Blackstar, pretty much the entire Calculon roster of homegrown bands. Nottingham's Bumsnogger
kicked the bucket recently, but their last gasp at the end of 2006 was this 6-song CD-R that boasted a ferocious assault of riff-heavy sludgecore that falls
soundwise somewhere in between Eyehategod, Motorhead, and a gang of enraged junkies. Alcohol & Swine is mostly up-tempo, digging in frequently with
slowed down, slurred sludge breakdowns and wasted wah-drenched leads. The band uses two singers for dual vomit screech/deathroar trade offs, and the songs
like "How I Became The Town Slut" actually flirt with enough diseased melody to make 'em downright catchy. Filthy, fucked up and misanthropic sludgecore punk
scuzz with loads of awesome boogie riffs that rock immensely.
