music and lyrics by This Is Wreckage
Recorded and Produced By Matt Sampson at Bink Bonk Studios Bristol.

From the U.K. comes THIS IS WRECKAGE. Heavy does not describe the sound these guys are laying down. Bass and drums are the driving force here, while the spikey guitar and savage vocals weave in and out of the abyss. It's like an all night drinking binge with the reanimated corpse of Bon Scott This is the one that gets stuck in your CD player for a month. It truly rocks in the vein of early Touch and Go acts. Released on compact disc exclusively by Forbidden Place Records, This album is Fucking essential.

REVIEWS
his Is Wreckage to walijska kapela z miasta Cardiff. W skład jej wchodzą panowie: Grave (gitara i wokal), Rugz (gitara basowa i wokal) i Pling (perkusja i wokal). Jest to ich debiutancki album wydany 17 października 2013 własnymi minimalnymi środkami (jest niestety tylko w necie w formie MP3, FLAC) na którym znalazło się 10 świetnych numerów w stylu postpunk/noise rock. Album dobrze wyprodukowany brzmieniowo przez bristolskie Bink Bonk Studios , gdzie za steram usiadł Matt Sampson. Dla mnie może trochę za mało zabrudzony, ale jest dobrze, gdy słyszy się ten fajnie mocno brzmiący bas – coś pięknego i do tego zdarty pijacki wokal przypominający Frankie Stabbsa z Leatherface. Panom nie obce są takie nazwy jak: Big Black, Jesus Lizard, GVSB, Brainiac, Suicide, Nirvana, Uzeda, Flipper, Rapeman, Tar itd. Ten album to kawał dobrej energetyczno – motorycznej luty z którą warto się zapoznać słuchając This Is Wreckage. Tak gra się teraz w Walii noise rocka.

Auf dem Debüt­al­bum die­ser Band aus Car­diff setzt es Noi­se­rock der eher klas­si­schen Art. Irgend­wann in den Neun­zi­gern hät­ten Gen­re­fans das ver­mut­lich als eine eher kom­mer­zi­elle Vari­ante abge­tan, die auf das brei­tere Alter­na­tive-Publi­kum schielt. Über zwan­zig Jahre spä­ter wird mir hin­ge­gen ganz warm ums Herz, wenn mir auf einer aktu­el­len Platte so was char­mant alt­mo­di­sches begeg­net.

You know how people like to pick on everything about St Anger, the Metallica album that has somehow apparently gotten worse over time? I remember the one slamming point was the sound of the snare, something that personally didn’t bother me. And apparently, This Is Wreckage more than likely don’t either.
Yep, Q.Y.C. has that distinct sound very similar, which isn’t always easy to tell whether the snare itself is off or if it is just microphone placement, but it is nonetheless extremely noticeable to begin with. And if like me you’re all for this kind of something different, it’s a welcome change.
The guitars in Q.Y.C. are very rough around the edges, and provide one of those instances where they sound huge and brash enough that multitudes of layers to build up the sound are unnecessary. That said, as the album wades on, a little more variety wouldn’t have hurt.
The aggression in the vocals definitely play a big part in the sound for This Is Wreckage, and for the most part, along with some of the lead guitar segments, provide the album with its peak moments. Together they carry the energy straight from the studio to your ears, and come as close to recreating that incredible live atmosphere as possible.
I like a lot of the writing style implemented in Q.Y.C.; the screaming/general shouting for backing vocals and the obnoxious guitars in particular. The only thing I could ask for more of is standout differentiation between songs. Not to say everything sounds the same, you know as soon as you hit standout songs like Running In Furs and Sovereign Teeth, which are the more infectious and roughed-up punk styled tracks them all, but I would love to see a little more experimental creativity from these guys in a future release.
I do really like the sound of Q.Y.C. and its approach, I just feel that it could do with a little bit more here and there, or at least a little something else. But that shouldn’t put off anyone who loves loud, noisy grunge, punk, or anything in between. Go for it.
