Brass In Pocket

The Pocket Gods
From: Londinium, United Kingdom

Scratch the surface of the stagnant British music scene and you'll uncover some hidden gems. The Pocket Gods were first championed by the late, great John Peel over 7 years ago and they're still serving up huge helpings of their unique world view with songs like Survival of the Shittest which sounds like the diary of a depressed Tourettes sufferer with a lo-fi musical companion. It's bleak and oddly beautiful. Deapite this, and the self explanatory Wierd Shit, it's not all expletive laden lo-fi indie punk. Trailer Park On Mars lands somewhere between Nick Lowe and Spizz Energi, while The Hopton Hop is pure rock 'n roll passed through a slacker filter.

They may not actually fit in your pocket but The Pocket Gods are good to carry around with you in case you need an emergency shot of wry, lo-fi indie punk.
