EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: by:LARM: The Megaphonic Thrift - Acid Blues + Neues
The by:Larm Festival hosted more than 220 bands, so when listening to songs before the festival, some quick judgments were made. If a band sounded interesting, their name would go on down with a couple descriptive words and a star if they really seemed exciting. The Megaphonic Thrift pre-viewing analysis read "GbV / MBV ***." The Megaphonic Thrift formed out of several other bands in Bergan, and long before their 7" Acid Blues was being pressed, they were invited to bring their mix of acid fuzzed noise and undeniable melodies all over Norway. They were the last band I saw at by:Larm and I stood near the front with a huge smile, the wash of music making me feel like my face was being blown back. It was definitely the loudest and one of the most exciting things I'd seen in Oslo, grab these two and hear for yourself.
