THE DIRTY NIL - SINGLE REVIEW

The Dirty Nil - Wrestle Yü To Husker Dü 
The Dirty Nil - Wrestle Yü ToHusker Dü

There's been a butt-load of good music coming my way from Canada recently but it's mostly been of the carefully constructed indie or delicate acoustic pop variety. The Dirty Nil have all the delicacy of using a sledgehammer to peel a grape and are about as far from acoustic pop as North Korea is from being a chilled out, liberal holiday resort. An early contender for title of the year, 'Wrestle Yü to Husker Dü', is a Nirvana meets Pixies shaped slab of grinding, grunge that is as satisfying and pleasing as a having your favourite sandwich delivered to your bed 5 minutes after particularly good morning sex. This is a shot across the bows ahead of the band's forthcoming new EP 'SMITE' which I, for one can't wait to get my hands on and my ears around.
