If you are in the mood to check out some raw British talent then you could do a lot worse than Guildford based Sludge/Post Hardcore troupe VICTORIAN WHORE DOGS whose latest EP release "Hobo Chic" marks the bands debut with Hibernacula Records and the bands follow up to last years "Fetch" EP. Spanning a fairly short four songs and thirteen minutes, things get under way with the almost peaceful tones of "Gammy Sally" before normality kicks in and savage throat destroying vocals slip loose the dogs of war whilst accompanied by a cacophony of abrasive riffs! In terms of song writing VWD hit the right spot and break their songs up nicely, blending well the utterly raw and often slow and melodic to create something both endearing and at times blisteringly heavy. With yet more ravenous lozenge defying ferocity, "Dead Eyes" has a catchy air and a sing along chorus to enjoy whilst "Kromdom" has a Raging Speedhorn feel to its ravenous, belligerent tirade! Finishing with "Prayer of Dust", Victorian Whore Dogs bring this highly impressive EP to a close and hint at many more great things to come!
