“Invigorating and cathartic…The hammering basslines, industrial drums and all the electronic distortions harmonise into a primal awakening” So Young Magazine “Bo Gritz are the same vicious, snarling, punk animal they were of yester-year, but have re-emerged with some serious upgrades.”Hard of Hearing “Fully embracing the chaos with cut-up lyrics and glitching rock” Rodeo “ a grinding, all-out assault that sends blood coursing round the veins.” Clash |
Released today, London Industrial Post-Punk trio Bo Grtiz share debut album Chroma on Glasshouse records (Mandrake Handshake; For Breakfast). Unleashing a frenzied half hour of glitching rock via south London pub basements, cut-up lyrics and sheet metal scratchplates, the record files alongside the likes of LICE and Gilla Band for for it’s sheer aggression; it sounds as if Snapped Ankles’ pounding grooves had been masticated by a digital meat grinder, spat out with such jet force as to shed megabytes and pixels as it hurtles through the sonosphere. Recorded at Hermitage Works Studios with engineer Nathan Ridley (Phobophobes, Blue Bendy, Big Joanie), and co-produced by the band’s drummer Max Goulding (aside from his day job as live sound engineer for Black Midi and Shame), the album marks the culmination of the band’s return to the limelight in 2023 following a 5 year hiatus. Already this year, Bo Grtiz have received backing from the likes of Spotify Melomania, Loud & Quiet, So Young, Hard of Hearing, Rodeo, Hash Brand New, Mix It All Up, Wax Music and Licks Magazine, in addition to previous praise from Clash and Louder Than War during their first incarnation |
