The Worst Show On Earth 30/6/18

When Evil Blizzard emerged from the bowels of Lancashire with their debut album five years ago it is fair to say they caused a stir. Put on the front cover of The Guardian, championed by Mark E Smith (who gave the band the money to record their debut album out of his own pocket) their gruesome mix of four bass players blending Psyche, Krautrock, Post Punk and an unmistakable image saw them launched onto magazines and websites worldwide. But it is only with their new, third, album ‘The Worst Show On Earth' (released yesterday on their own newly-founded Crackedankles Records) that the band have finally fulfilled their potential. Heavy, grinding and yet commercially viable, this new album sees the band truly shake off the ‘gimmick’ tag of the past and stride forward into new musical dimensions. The band are also touring the UK for the remainder of 2018, together with headline slots at Beatherder, Sonic Rock Solstice and Jesstival amongst other festivals, with European and Japanese dates being arranged for the future.
