Negative Panda - Bearded Man

| Negative Panda - Bearded Man |
So, Leeds based trio Negative
Panda (great name) describe themselves as a grunge band and on first listen to
this new single I was all "no way, this is post punk art rock or something
more complicated". But it's not,
it's grunge. Pure and simple. 'Bearded Man' starts soft and slow but once the
pace is picked up then the buzzsaw guitars and clattering drums are pure,
Nirvana-esque fun but mixed with the kind of English screaming and spit that
you might expect from Terrorvision or Reuben. In terms of contemporaries I'd
love to see these guys share a bill with Canada's The Dirty Nil but I think I'd
have to politely decline what is sure to be one hell of an after party. Or the
after party from hell.
