Look at the cover, really soak it in. That's what this Australian split sounds like - minus the toilet brush, because there ain't nothing clean about this tape. There are songs buried somewhere underneath the chaos, but consider it a supreme challenge to find most of them. Oddly, the challenge comes with a supreme reward as well, as some of these tunes are fucking ace (CTV's "Ballsweat" as a prime example), but are so drenched in bathroom recording quality and over the top distortion on everything that the search for music itself become fruitless...and without a doubt this is the intent. Both bands hail from Melbourne and have their hands in several other noise/doom/shitpunk bands up and down the east coast of Australia. PISSBOLT's angle is fast chaotic hardcore blown to shit, while COLLAPSED TOILET VIETNAM are more sludgy and repetitive, but with the same manipulations. Make no mistake: regardless of my attempts at describing these sounds, the end result does not resemble music in even the slightest way. This is not for the weak.
