Comment: this collective comes out from Finland who used to fuse frenzied garage rock, swiftly striking punk and arty, indie-embellished stuff into an enormous alternative rock chunk. Because of being headed by female vocals and sort of half-shrieking it reminds of Elastica, Slutever, and Bikini Kill. On the other side, Black Worm surprises the listener with a little lopsided, dub-loaded bass frequencies and airy vocal lines. The result is highly galvanic and masterfully balanced between striking power and lofty touch.
