"slowmotion narcotic groove rock"

SPIRAL 25
The Cellar, 16/08/2007

Tonight's drug of choice is acid and the flange pedal is king. Both bands
are well named, each hinting at the journey they're set upon.
Spiral 25 are making their first live outing tonight, formed by various
members of the much-missed Factory and tonight intent on
digging a deep, dark hole of slowmotion narcotic groove rock.

They're hairy and blissed-out, spaced-out vocals riding the heavily
opiated guitars, often recalling Loop's more dark-minded take on
psychedelia. The highlight of their set comes near the close when, just
as you've got their spiralling mantra nailed the guitarist picks up a
harmonica and they hit an even more claustrophobic groove. Barring
another implosion, Spiral 25 will be one of the local bands to lose your
mind to in the coming months.
