Top 50 Records Of 2017 Pt. 4 (44 & 43)

Album No. 44 (Unqualified Nurse Band - Trashland)



Two albums in two years and a single on the much loved Too Pure singles club, you'd be forgiven for thinking UNB were stretching themselves a little thin, i prefer to think they just have a really good work ethic cos here we have 6 slabs of trashy rock with an almost glam edge, culminating in the near 12 minute epic 'If You Can't Face the Facts You Don't Stand a Fucking Chance'

Single / EP No. 44 (Pet Crow - How Are You Wired? 7")


Another Too Pure singles club release, they really do put the best bands out, Pet Crow are no exception, garagy rock with strong melodic female vocals and shouty bits.

Album No. 43 (Sheer Mag - Need To Feel Your Love)



When the fuck did Sheer Mag get so fucking good, i remember hearing their early 7" releases and thinking they sounded decent but this album takes it all to a much higher level, shit kicking rock n roll with real attitude, reminds me of when Gossip were rocking and good but with it's own energy, i'm loving this album, very highly recommended.

Single / EP No. 43 (Nine Inch Nails - Add Violence 12")


Realistically a Nine Inch Nails EP should make it much higher on this list and it's not that it's shit as it certainly isn't, i'd have just liked an EP called Add Violence to have been a bit more violent and on opener 'Less Than' you get just that, unfortunately you then get two filler tracks before the last two rescue it somewhat, when it's good it's amazing stuff, just a little more consistency was needed.
