LICE STAMMERING BILL

Hailing from the West Country's hub of exciting new talent, the latest offering from Bristol boys LICE is the quartet's most abrasive and deranged cut to date. Driven by a bellowing bass line, precision-perfect drumming and guitarist Silas Dilkes' erratic fret work, 'Stammering Bill' captures LICE's infamous live energy with gusto. Front man Alastair Shuttleworth's signature socially-aware lyrics cry out honestly above the chaos before bassist Gareth Johnson unleashes a blood-curdling battle cry just as the chorus hits. Having made fans of fellow angry Bristolians IDLES, 'Stammering Bill' arrives alongside news of a new double EP It All Worked Out Great Vol. 1 & 2, due for release on singer Joe Talbot's very own Balley Records. LICE hit the road with IDLES on their virtually sold out tour across the UK next month. -HLMX
