Medicine Cabinet with Hookworms - An Interview



Uma das bandas mais bacanas da atualidade, som sujão, chapadão, psicodélico, estridente e mais uma montão de adjetivos que já usaram por aí pra definir essa pancadaria que pega tudo de mais sujo e barulhento que foi feito em décadas passadas e atualiza a parafernália toda para os tempos atuais.

O Hookworms lançou um dos grandes discos de 2013 o irrepreensível Pearl Mystic, e se prepara pra soltar o próximo The Hum que já pelos aperitivos que soltaram vem mais uma carga pesada de sujeira infestada de microfonia e muitos psicotrópicos.

E daí é lógico que eles não poderiam faltar aqui nas páginas do TBTCI.

É pra se embriagar e chapar total, e bem que alguém poderia ter o lampejo de trazer o "Amarelão" para o Brasil.
