Mclusky

Mclusky

With their new album the world is still here and so are we - marking a return after two decades - Welsh trio Mclusky hit the stage with the same ragged urgency that first defined them. Indebted to both punk and indie rock, they funnel a noise-rock/post-hardcore assault through razor’s-edge guitar hammering and barked vocals, all tension and burlesque unruliness. Their sound is abrasive but never shapeless: melodic in its own crooked way, sprawling, shouted, deliberately unrefined. And beneath the scorn flickers lucid criticism: a furious, tuneful dismantling of late-capitalist absurdity, with a dirtbag attitude as delivery and noise as critique.
