Mystery Juice – Eye For An Aye EP

Big in Russia: an idiom not as often heard as ‘big in Japan’. Despite their successes in the former Soviet Union - they've released two Russian-only albums - Edinburgh's Mystery Juice remain a fairly well-kept secret on home turf.

Visceral funk-blues is perhaps not our best known of exports. However, The Phantom Band’s Gerry Hart described them for us a while back as ‘an amazing band, playing some of the most amazing music you will ever hear’ whilst exalting their singer Tim Matthew’s ‘distorted, wah-wah, freakout violin solos’. Eye For An Aye showcases the band’s unique grooves and aforementioned freakouts alongside their articulate knack for working choruses as infectious as rally chants.
