Nobody seems to know where the problem lies with bands these days. Ever since Pete Doherty and co. crawled out of that fateful crack den it seems that something has been lacking from the world of guitar music. Astronot seem to know the answer: great, big hairy riffs, played by great big hairy Highlanders. Hailing from Thurso (just North of nowhere map fans) the band have built up a solid live reputation with a searingly tight set. This EP screams “rock is back” until its throat is raw, and its frets are covered in blood. Full throttle, totally committed riot ‘n’ roll from the sticks, Astronot seem set to scare the bejesus out of the hairspray and skinny jeans brigade. A tartan Foo Fighters, watch this lot soar into the stratosphere.
