THOU / HIRS – I Have Become Your Pupil LP

Description

This is a real weird one: two bands doing a split LP with absolutely no information on it in any way at all, and both sides are only Nirvana covers. I’ve never heard HIRS before so no idea if they’ve changed their style to accomodate the Nirvana tunes. They do a kind thrash take on the originals with some pretty cool screamed vocals. Not sure if it’s two singers or just double tracked. Not greatly fond of the Thou tracks, those vocals man….sound fuckin brutal doing this kinda music and the older Nirvana tunes weirdly sounded miles heavier when Nirvana were doing them. In Bloom is no bad cos a lassie sings it and her vox suit the tune much better. I’ll be honest….this record just kinda annoyed me a wee bit and made me want to listen to Nirvana. If you’re into either band, really like covers or enjoy novelty records, then wire in! Pink vinyl.
