Junkyard Choir From: South London .Blurb: Good name. Led by Mark Woods, formerly of overstaffed cabaret-soul-metallers Do Me Bad Things, they bring the klezmer-influenced Beefheart warped blues to swampy rock'n'roll and pull the whole thing down into a crashing, shuddering mess of glory.RIYL: SixNationState, The Dirty Backbeats, some bands people who don't carefully read every word of STN might recognise (80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster a bit)
"They'll have to wait til after Junkyard Choir to clean up, mind - their mariachi-esque polka-rock might sound like John Candy's band in Uncle Buck but the South Londoners are not to be missed. Not that you could miss a polka-blues band in Brixton, but that's not the point..."The fly
