Unsane @ Nice 'n' Sleazy

If the body of Jimmy Hoffa really does lie encased in cement underneath Giants Stadium in New Jersey then Unsane is quite probably what he heard as 100 tons of Brooklyn concrete came down on top of him. For nearly 20 years Chris Spencer has disgorged some of the filthiest riffs ever torn from a Telecaster and with the help of a slide, a harmonica and his distorted, bilious vocals, he's an arresting frontman. Equally truculent, Dave Curran's bass guitar suggests a growling Tyrannosaurus Rex whilst Signorelli's drums are the sound of it pounding down the street after you. Tonight the New York trio roar into life with select tracks from latest opus Visqueen before unleashing some of their more infamous back-catalogue and a modest Glasgow audience are thus thoroughly bludgeoned. It's a huge, brutal and utterly awesome sound throughout which makes Unsane quite simply the heaviest, angriest blues band on earth. (Chris Cusack)
