Guttersnipe is Leeds’ premier and pre-eminent XFCER duo, who for over 10 years have whirled in a wiggliness both woebegone and wonderstruck on a mission of radical mutant exaltation using rock music weaponry loaded with a queer hysterical ammunition to rupture the fabric of the known Rock universe and unleash a tendril-soft hallucinatory violence; thrumming with the bracing vividness of insect bodies, crazed with alien synaesthetic emotions, harnessing jagged excoriating illogic as a face meltingly snazzy affront to redundant macho mediocrity with the hope to break minds, squeeze hearts, explode pelvises and maybe even reset the parameters of reality!!
Their new album ‘Extinction Burst!’ is their first release in 6 years and simultaneously their most harrowingly direct in addressing the current era of global crisis and their most vitriolic in proposing a Gaia-like response, construing that maelstrom of lifeforce energy in all it’s bizarre forms through the disorienting psychedelic din of extreme metal / no(w) wave to articulate an antifascist xenofeminist warcry.
“A blizzard of sound and energy, Guttersnipe are in every sense a 21st century band. Unleashed from the always fruitful Leeds underground scene in 2015, these two noise rock miscreants have forged one of the most exciting and exhilarating duo bands currently at work today.” – The Quietus
