OTHER HALF

Saturday

Other Half have been a mainstay of the UK DIY punk circuit for more years than they’d like to admit, puzzling audiences with a combination of caustic Dischord-style post-hardcore, sneering indie rock and tongue-in-cheek classic rock tropes, all tied together with vivid, slice-of-life lyricism. They've put out three records, on Venn and Big Scary Monsters respectively, of which some people have said nice things: 

“An essential, brilliant and breathtaking album, [4/5]” - Kerrang! 

“Far too visceral and immediate to exist exclusively as an object of retro fascination. The band plays with wild, unhinged energy and thinly veiled snark, channeling their inspirations with dynamism, not just reverent imitation.” Stereogum, Album of the Week

FFO: Shellac, At The Drive In, Pixies
