Allusondrugs / Autumn Diet Plans / These Wicked Rivers
About this Event
"Allusondrugs are not merely another Yorkshire band: they are perhaps one of the most spectacular and urgent groups the country has to offer"
Allusondrugs is a smushed together, grammatically incorrect way of saying “everyone is on drugs”. In this case 'drugs' is a metaphor for any trivial rubbish that distracts the population from paying attention to important things that are happening in the world like people dying of easily treated diseases in undeveloped countries, western superpowers using scare tactics to demonize people from other cultures so they can make everyone kill each other in the name of profit and the super rich 1% taking away your liberties to make it easier to suck up as much money as possible while your quality of life slowly decreases. The greedy sociopaths at the top of the mountain are feasting on our souls while we sit in a stupor of ignorance, watching X Factor, eating nutrition-less, processed microwave sausage and mash while we moan about people from other countries “coming over here taking our jobs, it must be true, I saw it on the telly”. We as a society are basically just mindless drug addicts that need to wake up.
==REVIEWS==
"These West Yorkshire newcomers create a mesmerising concoction of psychedelia set to blissed-out vocals that sound like they've arrived via some metal influences. New single "Nervous" features spaced-out guitar work set to a sultry bass line that quickly expands into a chorus of full-frontal grunge fuckery"
*NME*
''There’s few who would contend Allusondrugs are easily one of the most exciting new bands the UK has to offer''
*ALREADY HEARD*
“A trippy injection of bulldozing riffs, hypnotic vocals and mosh pit igniting fury... Grunge revivalism is in rude health, thanks to riff-hungry bands such as Allusondrugs and Dinosaur Pile Up"
*Q MAGAZINE*
"A Brilliant D.I.Y video with an awesome ending."
*KERRANG*
"With guitars so dark they’d make Josh Homme’s hips swivel into oblivion and double vocals so together they put Elliott Smith to shame, Allusondrugs are clearly practised in their craft, and this new single is the perfect demonstration of said craft. So sit back and let the fuzz swallow you, so you too may feel like Allthemondrugs."
*DONT NEED NO MELODY*
"So these are a pretty fun band. Yorkshire based Allusondrugs have a distinctly grunge sound but there's something a bit more delicate to the vocals and guitar playing. There's grunge, heavy rock, psych and emo all thrown in for what is a very solid single."
*ARTROCKER*
"…were [Plasters] to have been released when shoegaze was at its peak this song would have been declared an anthem and Allusondrugs would have been gracing the front cover of next week's NME."
*9/10 - LEEDS MUSIC SCENE*
"Influenced by the grunge scene, the band are quickly delivering a distinctive sound with a surrealist edge..."
*PUNKTASTIC*
"The new Allusondrugs single is called Nervous, and we bet the band have never felt that; how could they when they can switch from big riffs to psych haze and keep everything grungy? The only bad thing about the Yorkshire band is we can’t talk about a new album yet."
*SUPAJAM*
" They make beautiful, fuzzed up grunge pop. "Plasters" combines a shoegazeish wall of guitar noise with a soaring chorus. It's grunge through a fuzz freak filter and I can't get enough of it."
*IN THE STREAM OF COMMERCE*
"...Allusondrugs are a band that I instantly and inexplicably love. On one level it's straight up rock, on another level it's shoegaze indie, between those two it's a grunge ballad and every now and again there are some experimental, almost Jazz like temptations peeking through."
*ELUSIVE LITTLE COMMENTS*
“fuzzy guitars, great harmonies & some fantastic heavy riffs"
*IMPROPAGANDA*
“Plasters starts off with a slow melodic build, beautiful vocal harmonies & unique guitar which is cleverly put together to create an impressive track that get’s stuck into your head"
