Most people playing in multiple bands make them all sound the same. That’s not the case with BLARGHSTRAD - a not so typical one-man-project by our fellow Brad Smith. It sounds obviously way different than TAKE THAT VILE FIEND and we don’t even need to talk about his full line-up bands INTERNAL ROT or SUPER FUN HAPPY SLIDE. The term one-man-band is taken to a new level here as all instruments are played at the same time. Bass in one hand, drum stick in the other, and a mic attached to his helmet - and things are pushed further than just a funny gimmick. This of course doesn’t mean that Blarghstrad doesn’t sound hilarious as fuck! It surely does a lot, and is exactly intended to be like that. Tracks on this album often start by a feedback drenched poor-man’s attempt to sing whatever song, which unfortunately doesn’t really end well and so very much leads to barbaric blasts of straight-up noisecore. There are cases when the caveman singing is going on a little bit too long but overall this is well done! Your typical stupid noisecore band often struggles to deliver an intense experience and therefore plays the whole thing down as “shitnoise” and rather focuses on a competition on how many records they can release in a month. However there they get a great lesson taught here by only one guy that does all the work alone! 27 tracks total plus a comatized hidden track!!
