Recorded in early 2012 Primative Sounds and Tuff Enuff Records have
co-released the new LP by London’s Roseanne Barrr. A two-piece DIY queer
punk band who have spent the last five years playing hard across the
country, bassist Patrick and drummer Sophie play confrontational, dark and
violent grunge-tinged no-wave brought together with spoken word and
improvisational pieces. Described by Upset The Rhythm as “hypnotic thump,
distorted throb and teen-cult chanting” their music frequently plays on
themes of sex and violence and the LP is littered with references to
writers such as Jean Genet, Anna Kavan, and Kathy Acker as well as Mariah
Carey and Catherine Deneuve. At 45 minutes their music equally suits
listening under the covers in your teenage bedroom or witnessed as one of
their tense and aggressive live shows.
‘Repulsion’ is the bands first LP vinyl release, after a series of
cassettes and CD-R releases and a track on Tuff Enuff’s own Riots Not
Diet’s LP. It features 10 tracks spanning 45 minutes.
