Mixtape #83
The Evil Usses are a band like no other. Their wild and exhilarating live shows flow fluidly between thoughtful composition and improvisation as they venture into a dense jungle of sounds and influences, clearing their singular path with sharp melodies and heavy grooves. All of this, as well as the wide dynamics and playful humour of this unique Bristolian quartet can somehow be found in the mix they made for us this month. Press play and enjoy!

The Evil Usses announce new album Amateur Pro Wrestling and share first single
2017 is being graced with a cornucopia of exciting releases. This includes Bristol’s The Evil Usses, known for the exhilarating energy of their live performances, and broad spectrum of sounds amalgamating “rocky notjazz, jazzy notrock, post-op pop, notmuch and a lot else”, as they put it themselves. The quartet have lifted the curtain on their next full-length album, Amateur Pro Wrestling, set for release on March 31st via Stolen Body Records.
‘Gambino’ is the first single to emerge and it serves as a hell of a taster for Amateur Pro Wrestling. The track comes with an excellent and amusing video filmed by Yoshino Shigihara. Watch it now on full screen and prepare to dance.
