about

"From Newcastle Upon Tyne, this two piece (guitar/vocals and drums respectively) take Melvins style riffage and combine them with an outpour of self-loathing and rage akin to Buzzoven. Although it takes a few minutes to adjust to the lack of bass, riffs like ‘Disciplinary’ and ‘Medicate’ cannot be denied their status as sludgy and filth ridden."
- Christopher Owens, Predominance 33, The Pensive Quill

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SHAN are a two piece noise punk/sludge band out of Newcastle upon Tyne consisting of Jake Salmon on guitar and vocals and Sam Armstrong on drums.

SHAN is a North East England / Scotland slang term for bad, disappointing, unfair or generally shite.

This ties with the lyrical content, which consist of frustrations with employment, self and prescribed medication and the current state of the UK.

'Knotweed' is their debut. Raw, unadulterated, punk

FFO: Unsane, The Melvins, Eyehategod

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..

There must be something magnetic that inexorably draws me into this thick chunk of noise, sweat, riffs, distortion, mud, repetitions, screams, psychedelia, and dirt. Something magnetic. And I have always been attracted to magnetism. muschiosauro
