DESALVO
‘MOOD POISONER’
Rock Action Records
September 29th
Power, performance and precision; INDEED!
Based in Glasgow, Scotland and featuring members of Idlewild and
Stretchheads Desalvo twist the influence of hardcore and metal to demand
your total sensual attention. In the moment, right…fucking…NOW. This is
incendiary, visceral and genuinely perverse music.
Assimilating the sounds of traditional hardcore like Converge, Mastodon and
Black Flag with the psychedelic madness of Butthole Surfers, DeSalvo have
gained a reputation as one of the best live bands in the UK. They are both
confrontational and memorable but influence only tells half the story. Put
simply DeSalvo are not a band it is easy to categorise. Their music is filthy,
it’s dirty, it’s in your face, it leaves you feeling moist, aroused and slightly
guilty.
Recorded in early 2008 at Chem19 Studios with producer Paul Savage
(whose credits include; Mogwai, Arab Strap & Malcolm Middleton) ‘Mood
Poisoner’ emerges as one of the hardcore albums of the year. DeSalvo’s
debut album is a punishing ride for sure but it’s an exhilarating experience all
the same. Fuck the destination, welcome aboard ‘cos it's time to strap-in and
strap-on to truly experience this.
The album ‘Mood Poisoner’ is released on Rock Action Records
on September 29th
