Pigstock 2012 - Fragments

Engine Room, 3pm June 2nd
Describe in a tweet:ÌýWe may be in pieces after this .
What Happened: With their choppy rhythms, growls and screams, and all round demented assault, these noisy, noisy men came on and did some damage. Even the quieter moments are unsettling rather than relieving, as their sound is always slightly unhinged, and when they go for it, bringing in messed up samples, their rapid-fire changes in direction and style are so quick that we can never settle into the rhythm. 'Lammas' was given it's debut here last year, and is a defiant, rising melodic post-rock interlude before a return to the screaming and beautiful agony.
Highlight: While being heavy, they've got enough about them with their inventiveness and willingness to not stick in one style to keep the casual fan entertained and attracted, an essential in a festival setting.
Lowlight: All that screaming really can't be good for the front-man's throat, and it can grate on the average listener's ears after a while - perhaps more of the post-rock interludes to break up the set would be better for the casual punter.
