Download: Throat Of Dirt Demo (2012)

Canberran Hate & Loathing

One of my current favourites in the Australian fences are Canberra's Throat Of Dirt.  Supported by public servants and dosed up on dissonance, the guys have recently recorded a 2 track demo that is now available through their bandcamp page.  You can name your price.

They are also currently looking for another guitarist, maybe with some vocal opportunities.  Here's what their facebook says:

We are contemplating/toying with the idea of adding a second guitarist (preferably one with vocal abilities) to our live line up and possibly permanent part of the band. If anyone is interested please message us. Canberra based preferably but Sydney based is a maybe.

If that appeals to you, perhaps the best course of action to take would be to download the demo, listen lots, contact the band, send nudes and positive vibes, cross your fingers.  That, of course, is starting with the assumption that you own a guitar, and can play... if not, my advice is this: work in a shitty job, build hate, save for guitar, purchase guitar, realise it's probably not good enough, return to shitty job for more years, build more hate, get better guitar, realise you need an amp and possibly transport... oh you get the idea.  I'm not Tolkien, so I'm not going to write too much.
