ROSEANNE BARRR - REPULSION LP

Recorded in early 2012 Primative Sounds and Tuff Enuff Records haveco-released the new LP by London’s Roseanne Barrr. A two-piece DIY queerpunk band who have spent the last five years playing hard across thecountry, bassist Patrick and drummer Sophie play confrontational, dark andviolent grunge-tinged no-wave brought together with spoken word andimprovisational pieces. Described by Upset The Rhythm as “hypnotic thump,distorted throb and teen-cult chanting” their music frequently plays onthemes of sex and violence and the LP is littered with references towriters such as Jean Genet, Anna Kavan, and Kathy Acker as well as MariahCarey and Catherine Deneuve. At 45 minutes their music equally suitslistening under the covers in your teenage bedroom or witnessed as one oftheir tense and aggressive live shows.‘Repulsion’ is the bands first LP vinyl release, after a series ofcassettes and CD-R releases and a track on Tuff Enuff’s own Riots NotDiet’s LP. It features 10 tracks spanning 45 minutes.
