'Bumsnogger 2002 - 2006' the debut release for Witch Hunter Records, is an anthology of both EPs, the split 7" with Among The Missing and 3 bonus rehearsal out-takes from Nottingham's dearly departed Bumsnogger.
Hailing from Nottingham, Bumsnogger were conceived in 2002 in a drunken haze, with the sole aim of playing riff frenzied ferocious sludge-metal, whilst having a good time. Tipping their collective hats in tribute to the likes of sludge giants Iron Monkey and Eyehategod, as well as more traditional noise like Black Sabbath and Motorhead.
Their debut 5 track EP '...And Destroy All That Come Before Us' was self-released under their own label, Ape Of Thoth Records, in June 2003, and gained favourable reviews in the national rock press.
A split 7" with Among The Missing was released in July 2005 on Calculon records and Withered Hand Records to coincide with a UK tour the 2 bands undertook, featuring the track 'Trampling The Infidels With Hooves Of Hot Iron'. This release was limited to 333 copies, and was pressed on fluorescent pink vinyl.
In October 2006 the band release a 6 track EP 'Alcohol & Swine' on Calculon Records.
The band clocked up a hefty amount of shows around the country, with many of their peers, including the likes of High On Fire, Winnebago Deal, Electric Wizard, 16, Cathedral, Orange Goblin, Mistress, 3 Inches Of Blood, Taint and Send More Paramedics.
Just remember, there is more to a band than a name ...
I like that review, I sometimes forget I was in an ace band
and then you joined bumsnogger
i must admit, i chuckle to myself at some of our escapades
remember your first gig, when we absolutely soaked mars' crotch with lager we'd pinched from the rider?
