Earthless rock. Earthless know that rock isn’t found in the middle of the verse or tucked away politely in the corner of a chorus. Earthless know that rock is huge tube driven distorted excess. And that’s exactly what they did at Roadburn. One and a half hours of primal solo and riff on the main stage of the Roadburn festival. It wasn’t a gig they were expecting to play. When the main act couldn’t play the organisers asked Earthless at the last minute. They stepped up and delivered a raw assault of rock noise. Appropriate given that Roadburn is a celebration of the riff.
On finding out the gig was recorded Earthless listened to the performance and decided that it was the most honest document they could offer. On the basis of only hearing the CD the gig must have been awesome. They are purist in the way The Fucking Champs are and have all the intensity and single minded determination of Boredoms’ Hard Trance Takeaway (Karaoke of Cosmos). Live At Roadburn is rock refined to its essentials. Its one to play loud and repays all the volume you give it. So there you have it. Hard screaming honesty.
