Album Review: Moutpiece


Oddly-titled Dublin band Moutpiece (Gaz Le Rock, Michael Connerty et al) released their self-titled debut album in 2008.  It's a set of frenetic, 90 miles an hour driving guitar music.  Many of the tracks speed along to their conclusion in less than two minutes (Out of Our Heads Again, Reason To Dance, Gary, the ACDC-on-speed of On The Boulevard).  24 Stella has a tidy little Stooges riff, Introduce Me To Ray has a sort of bubble-grunge thing going on.  Later, The Frog has echoes of, of all things, Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker.  The album finishes with the guitar heroics of Blister On The Moon, the longest track.  Violent hommes??

What I'm reminded most of all throughout this short 25 minute album is Motörhead, albeit without Lemmy's growled vocals.  It's currently available free of charge if you pre-order forthcoming EP Black Banana from moutpiece.bandcamp.com
