Noisia - Shellshock ft Foreign Beggars


MATES YOU MIGHT WANT TO TURN YOUR SPEAKERS DOWN BEFORE THIS ONE. Noisia, you fucking monsters.



I think the choice in cover art is absolutely adequate to express my feelings on that.  This is some gritty, nasty, filthy shit and I'm surprised things are still standing in the aftermath.  If you're a bass fiend and you haven't invested in a solid sound system yet, you might want to just for songs like this.  What I wouldn't give to hear this live, good god.

Frankly, the boys from Noisia intimidate me, and they're damn good at it.  They send out Foreign Beggars to draw me in and when they release the bass at :26, I can't help but shiver as I hear it stomping out.  Masters of fear tactics like no other artist I've heard, they start the fray with it still looming.  The result is an unsettling, intense war machine of a tune that drops into the final battle at 2:40. Coincidentally, this is the perfect sort of track to compliment the current unrest in the Middle East.

People I've Egypt, I'm behind you guys.  Fuck Mubarak.
