about

INTERVIEW WITH BEN ON 'WORRIED ABOUT SATAN' PODCAST:
youtu.be/wgeTh8Rraok?si=AHHVBOsTk810iEUq

"On All Power No Sour, the riffage and restlessness remain, but they’re broadened into sonic environments which incorporate scathing patches of something closer to suburban ennui. “YLS” is a short vignette that boils and spits like a white-hot poker dropped into a pint of mild, its fizz and seethe drawn into something longer and more tortured on following track “Holy Channel”. When Forrester escalates into the energetic riffage of “Level” or “Borderline Disaster” his basslines feel as though they are swaggering parochial high streets looking for a fight, soaked in an aggression which recalls Bob Vylan’s The Price Of Life or even Mclusky at their wildest and most unhinged."
- Spenser Tomson, The Wire Issue 472

"In short, All Power No Sour is a fantastic album, and the Selected Works offer a fine taste of what else Cold Comfort have to offer, so all in all a great starting point and an important tape to add to your collection."
- Jake Hancke, The Cauteriser
cauteriser.co.uk/2023/10/28/cold-comfort-all-power-no-sour-selected-works-album-review/

"If you’re after something noisy, fun and held together by a drum machine, some broken guitars and the spirit of punk rock then you’ve come to the right place."
- Andy Brown, Louder Than War
louderthanwar.com/cold-comfort-all-power-no-sour-album-review/

"As far as debut albums go, ‘ALL POWER NO SOUR‘ is a particularly solid effort, building on the ferocity of earlier material and mixing things up with some diversity across the track listing."
- Andy Hughes, Birthday Cake For Breakfast
birthdaycakebreakfast.wordpress.com/2023/02/02/album-review-cold-comfort-all-power-no-sour/

"This is raw, this is full of angry piss and puss, this is urgent, this is good all of it committed, all of it very real, all vitally uncompromising and having just listened to most of the dreadfully bloated dreadfully flat new Duran Duran album (don’t be looking it up now, once you’ve heard their version of Ghost Town you really can’t unhear it) , something very very much needed"

Cold Comfort is proud to announce a 20 track cassette compilation through Cruel Nature Records. Northwich based musician Ben Forrester has been making music as Cold Comfort since July 2021 and this collection features the debut album ALL POWER NO SOUR and selected works from the past 12 months of releases.

All tracks were self-produced at Ben’s home in Northwich, Cheshire and go to all corners of the alternative rock universe, blending punk, electro, drone, metal, hardcore and slacker rock into one big melting pot. Lyrically drawing from mental health episodes, political frustrations and paranormal experiences, this is a collection of revelations that is equal parts cathartic, raging and euphoric.

Hard to pick a favorite of this astonishing release as all bands are doing a terrific job and don't want them doing any other way but if i have to pick i'd say 72%'s track: incredible textures and love the abstract and sonic assault of the senses..
