Lion Tamer
Carnivores are a Paisley based three-piece who released their debut album 'Let's Get Metaphysical' just under a year ago. On tour in Ireland for the first time - the band came into the studio at Smalltown America in Derry to play in front of a noise-hungry, expectant and racous audience.
Their sound distills the best parts of classic Helmet, Fugazi and Weezer and merges it with a unique vocal style and socially-aware lyrics. Vocalist Kenny Leckie is one of the strongest front men on the post-hardcore club circuit and drummer Martin Johnson is quite simply one of the most breathtaking percussionists working right now in the UK.
In short, this is a record best played loud and with good friends. It is a glimpse of three men lost in a primal blur of musical electricity, swimming in seas of violent noise.
