Christmas Advent #2 – Take Me By The Hand, I Don’t Give A Damn

WESTKUST’s ‘LAST FOREVER’ LP sounds like all your favourite songs being played in a row between Veronica Falls and Makthaverskan in the ultimate Goth party of Dai Disco’s dreams. Spiking guitars and thundering choruses collide in a tidal wave that sweeps you off your feet, leaving you breathless for 33 minutes of storming fuzzed-up pop euphoria. Dai Disco, Lesher, and Dai Goth have all succumbed to its beauty, sacrificing what could have been a bottle of Crumpton Oaks to secure it, here. Even Lesher (who values Crumpton Oaks over almost anything), believes it to be his finest purchase ever for under a fiver, and was heard recently saying “ahhh not even Frosty Jacks on cold winter night comes close to this, lovely stuff.”

Reeling

Here's a mix found embedded in the walls of Dai Disco's lair that featured in the May edition of the free fishing, music, and poetry zine Fishin' Rod Reel Handle. Most of the music is available on bandcamp on the 'name your price' scheme, so give the ones that make you smile, cry, and throw shit at the walls all of your dole money.
