Had dinner yet? No? Good.
Bluddypop were born a few years back out of the rear end of a few other disgusting grind acts. They want their music to make you feel sick, and the latest split with Bile Cannon does exactly that.
Bile Cannon on the other hand, that’s a brand new project, taken only slightly more seriously, and a slightly different style of grind.
Let’s give this disc a spin shall we. Hang on, let’s take another look at that front cover first. Ok let’s go throw up on ourselves. Alright, now press play.
The Shit n' Spit Split starts with 7 tracks from Bluddpop. If you’re into filthy grind with dirty riffs and horrid vocals, then strap yourself in for a wild ride. Fans of Romperprop, Cliteater and Urine Festival are gonna be stroking their salami over this one. The standard person would hear this and think it sounds like an audio recording of their grandad in the toilet, but those with an acute ear will find that it’s catchy, rocky, bluesy, and heavy as fuck all at the same time. You know what you’re in for with track titles like ‘Force Fucked With a Tin of Beans’, ‘Naked Handstands for Grandma’, and ‘I’d Rather Have AIDS than Kids’.
The next 7 tunes cum courtesy of the one-piece project known as Bile Cannon. This is grindcore that resembles stuff more like Napalm Death, Carcass, Rotten Sound type of stuff. Clearer riffs, plenty of energy and shitload of yelling. You’d be forgiven for thinking this music is almost serious, until you hear some of the samples and realise you’re up to the track ‘Cosby, Stills & Gash’. People from Perth might also recognise this angry screamy voice from an old (very old) “band” named Choke. Oh, and why not throw in a SOD cover for good measure.
These two pooper groups have tried to make a really shitty release that everyone will hate, but unfortunately it’s actually pretty good. Any fans of death or grind, or anyone who loves a bit of fun, it's worth getting your grubby mits on this one.
Score: Shit n’ Spit outta 10
