‘o crypt-oh crypt

Seattle’s Grave Babies stay loyal to their undead schtick - a glance at track titles from last year’s Deathface cassette (out through Skrot Up) reveals ‘Eating Babies’, ‘Demons’, ‘Graves’ and ‘Blood Forever’. Doom-eyed and downhearted, they’re not all bite, bite, bite. Their melancholy is as indebted to Eighties post-punk and industrial as it is to Misfits, all crudely trapped beneath familiar lo-fi gauze-glow. It’s a sound that makes being undead seem like a solid life choice and one you’d revel in, if blood were something you could revel in.

Find the whole album here, choice cuts (tearings?) below. We’ll endeavour in the mean time to strip new slabs from their disintegrating hides, some of which can be heard at the band’s MySpace page, linked above.
