Featuring J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr fame on drums, Witch was born when J and his longtime friend Dave Sweetapple were interested in forming a hard rock band. Although Mascis is obviously more famous in rock circles for his genius guitar playing and song-writing, he actually started out as a drummer in early eighties hardcore punk band Deep Wound and is more than capable of handling himself behind the ole’ pots n’ pans and dustbin lids!

Joining forces with Kyle Thomas and Asa Irons, both members of New England avant-folk outfit Feathers, they set about creating a savage sonic noise that fuses the classic proto-heavy metal sounds of bands like Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer and Atomic Rooster with the crushing heavy-weight sludge of the Melvins and the like. Out early March on Tee Pee Records, their self-titled debut is a must for all fans of heavily fuzzed out and intensely loud heavy fucking metal.
