Now this was something a bit different. If an award existed for the largest number of rhythm changes ever to grace one seven-track set, it would surely go to these guys. But amid all the visual quirks (e.g. the bassist wore ski-goggles, much to the crowd's delight), tempo changes, almost Keith Moon-esque drumming, contrasting guitar effects and energetic vocals, Ded Mole Crickit put on a very tight performance that flowed convincingly whilst maintaining a fun sense of unpredictability. 'Last of the Hardcore' opened with heavy rock chords before moving into a laid-back, almost reggae pace. 'Sub-Human Beings' had a more dancey feel to it, and 'Death Ska Vendetta' was perhaps the best demonstration of their eclectic sound, featuring high-speed minimalist grooves and a surreal, spaced-out section with a bluesy solo. All this was lifted by their undeniable stage-presence as a group and animated yet natural performance style. Great set, a must-see.

8.5/10

DED MOLE CRICKIT/SYSTEMS DMC - DOPE BEATS ep

Riding along on the skanky jive express the Ded Mole Crickit/SDMC crew rap and slap in cannabanoid cruise mode and present 4 dopehead ditties exuding musical experimentation and underflowing talent. The narrative orchestration of 'The Symphony' is a dreadhead infusion that varies several laid back paces and modes of operation thus becoming a showcase of underground ability and transcending rhythm. This could easily slip beneath several categorizing umbrellas of noise and as far as I am concerned it is a highly valid piece of listening matter that becomes even more pleasing after a few rolls of green and a couple of bottles of bronze. It is a good agreeable construction to mix in with the more blatant punk violence I drown my eardrums in and makes a marked contrast indeed.

'Impotence' sidles in without catching the ear but no sooner as the rusty opening sequence become appealing than a smooth wine sipping trickle gently cascades within smoky quarters before a brick is hurled into the placating waters and ripples aplenty shatter the refelctive mood and ambience. The vocal outburst is superb and opposes both harshly and effectively against the opening dreaminess. Repeat twice and an instrumental finishing segment makes the end result nothing less than accomplished.

Jazzy shards of splintered guitar begin 'Death Ska Vendetta' before a more skankesque urgency is introduced along with an aberrant reggae jingle providing a taste to mull over and over again but never quite pin down. Purely basckstreet club ska and ideal for hallucinating hashish nuts to chill and thrill to. Not bad at all and a definite comma to add in many a punk rock tirade. The 'live' recording is very good too and enhances the overall listen...

Yeah - I like this and two previous viewings of this lot have impressed me greatly. DMC strike me as a band who really couldn't give a fuck. . More recordings would be nice to hear just to see if the suspected potential could be well and truly harnessed. Jah rasta!
