One to Watch :: GHXST





Darkly tinged, heavy, noise-ridden, distorted - yet with bluesy spaced-out vocals that in part will blow your ears off, while the rest gets under your skin and lodges in your head to sonically beat you into (willing) submission.

GHXST is a Brooklyn-based noise grunge trio comprised of Shelley X, Chris Wild and Nathan La Guerra, and with influences such as the Jesus and Mary Chain, White Zombie, and Sonic Youth, you know before you even hear them that this is going to be something that kicks a punch. And you won't be disappointed.

Following on from the release of last year's EVILWICKEDDESIRE (comprised of their first two EPs, EVIL'S WASTED ON YOU and NO REST FOR THE WICKED, GHXST have announced a UK tour in June and are giving away a free taster of their new material through London's Club.The.Mammoth and Tip Top Recordings, which you can hear below.

Given that Shelley has described a GHXST show as "commonly attended by Satanists, homosexuals, and other dangerous cults", be warned! But be there.
