Bad Sav

If guitar rock is dead, no-one told Bad Sav. The latest blast of Analogue Dunedin comes from the band that refused to be left behind. Although featuring Death And The Maiden guitarist/vocalist Hope Robertson and bassist/vocalist Lucinda King, plus Shifting Sands guitarist Mike McLeod (on drums here), Bad Sav are the primary strain from which both of those bands sprang.

When asked to describe her band’s sound in a 2010 interview, Hope suggested “...a missed punch and a grazed fist. Sad, heavy, unpredictable loud pop". Indeed, Bad Sav offer a far more guitar-oriented hard attack than DATM; their distinctive filtering and reassembly of influences from shoegaze, psychedelic noise-rock - and goodness knows where else - are combined using a uniquely electrified Dunedin sonic alchemy, bursting with colossal, majestic, melodic noise.
