About This Item
Described by the NME as sounding like 'Weezer being beaten up by the Dillinger Escape Plan', Carnivores draw influence from Gugazi, at the Drive-In, Idlewild, Helmet, Elvis Costello and Nirvana. Carnivores are a three-piece rock band based in Paisley, Scotland. Formed in the late 2000's they got to work the old fashioned way, touring the toilet venues of Scotland in a battered estate car building a fan-base show by show. They quickly gained a reputation as one of the craziest live bands in Scotland. Carnivores are Kenny Leckie (vocals/guitar), Grant M (bass vocals) and Martin Johnston (drums/backing vocals) Their debut album 'Let's Get Metaphysical'. Recorded live in just six days with producer Bruce Rintoul (Twin Atlantic/Fatherson), the album captures the raw intensity of the band's live show matched with a more melodic, introspective aspect to Carnivores sound.
