Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Double-headed Sheffield Moor Beer takeover. Cosmic eccentrics Pohl will wreck your head with their doomified noise-rock and psych-damaged sludge alongside Dearthworms’ jagged and surreal post-punk snarling. Big recommend FFO: Big Business, Electric Wizard, Torche, Hey Colossus, The Fall, Blood Sport."
