ddd - Trojan Horse / Wall To Wall

Thudding bass and knee-trembling epileptic beats kick off "Trojan Horse" and keep right on. Ddds' industrial, production-line rhythm mixes techno and scratching, distorted guitars and the messed-up rhythms are compulsive in the way the best punk tracks are. Ddd is joined here by Kris Jenkins from Supper Furries. The b-side, Wall to Wall is as suffocating and intense as The Normal's electro anthem Warm Leatherette but with much extra width. Trojan Horse screams along like a battered, whinging Dalek and should have you playing air-headbutt with the curtains closed. This whines out to be a dark, and slightly daft but epic single.
