Album Review - You Disgust Me by Carnivores


'Ello 'ello.
For this album review I have chosen the small Scottish rock trio, Carnivores, with their recently released debut full-length effort entitled You Disgust Me. Carnivores have been a huge love of mine for the past year. From the moment I heard their material on their EP's I knew they were going to be something special. And fortunately, they live up to all expectations on their debut album. If you're into dirty rock riffs and mental-strong Scottish accents then you're in for a treat.

You Disgust Me by Carnivores -

Carnivores have written an exquisitely quirky rock album here. With extremely talented musicianship they have created the perfect platform on which to build their careers. Reminiscent of old and new Biffy Clyro, Carnivores display tunes of all stature. From full-on square-go rocking out to big choruses to heavy breakdowns to just pure absurd brilliance. Anyone Up For An Exorcism? grabs our attention through an edgy riff and echoed vocals from singer/guitarist, Kenny Leckie. Only to be followed by the title track, their most popular tune to date, Scottish Football, which I may just say is a fucking class tune. Huge choruses from tracks such as Lion Tamer and Horses Of The Galaxy will stick in your head for days. But in this case, it's a fucking good thing! Carnivores deserve to be recognised for this album. It's bouncy, raw, infectious and generally fun to listen to. Although the Paisley rockers have taken inspiration from their Scottish neighbouring bands, they have created a very distinct sound and personality. These guys urgently need to be listened to. And if you don't, 'you disgust me'..

Check Out: No nonsense shit here, listen to the whole bloody album.



Thanks.
