Edge-to-edge, this duo inhabit a cold realm where every endpoint is compromised and circuit board is fried. Their notorious and blistering live show immortalised in the thousand yard stare of its survivors - innocent bystanders who often struggle to erase the experience from their now, corrupted memory dumps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLP opener ‘Heart’ promptly sets the tone - greeting us with an auditory blue screen of death, jittering and shuddering forwards with no known resolution…. But it’s not long before blasts of harsh rhythmic noise erupt from static, dissociated fog. By ‘Black Rew’, proceedings reach full velocity before crashing abruptly to a halt. Beneath the squall, you can almost hear the drone back at the data centre as the operator pulls frantically at the underlay, struggling to distinguish sinew from circuitry and meshwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReboot the system onto Side B, and we’re even treated to a guest appearance from Harry ‘Iceman’ Furniss, who’s cornet eructs some of the only distinguishably organic matter on the record. Then, power on through more mechanical, pulsating chaos - until outro ‘Leisure Park’ hoses you off and sends you on your way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardwire yourself into this one... \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Avon Terror Corps","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50446321123659,"sku":"1159247","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/036543bc-28d5-418b-8ed0-5abed8b62163_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727057433"},{"product_id":"widower-ep","title":"Widower EP","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnd we used to be such a nice record label .... BKV 026 swells up from the Bristol swamp in the forms of post-human industrial duo Bad Tracking. Here they have assembled variously, one spacious black metal intro (with original screams), an industrial-pop earworm not unlike Depeche Mode imploding in a feedback tunnel, two itch-tek dancefloor riddims namecheking local venue bans and I just don’t know what to call ‘Wellspring’ really, the end of days? Well you had it coming anyway…..Known in town for upsetting local MPs and lisencees with their live performances as ‘naked technology sex slaves’ [think cassette-induced self harm, total nudity, blood from ears], Bad Tracking are the most visceral thing we’ve seen in this new wave of Avon experimental - a breath of life into the longstanding tradition of industrial performance art (and an antidote to idle BR club culture). Lyrically touching on censorship and tech \/\/ sonically they use feedback as a punishing instrument of anguish and expression. Widower EP is truly chewed nail sonics, more human than all your noise records, genuinely more scary than your edgelord power electronics nonsense, more forward than all yer government funded experimental think-records. You may remember Bad Tracking from their remix of 90s soundsystem legends Bush Chemists on Bokeh last year. It sounded like they played the original through 1,000 knackered tape decks and added one kick drum. It was total sacrilege and we loved it. Bad Tracking is Gordon Apps aka reputed jungle\/drumfunk producer Relapse (who also moonlights as Avon Terror Corp’s Olivia Mutant John, buy his shit) and poet \/ VHS video artist Max Kelan (who has lent his visuals to MVs from Hodge, The Pop Group, OM Unit, Young Echo to name only 4). They’ve released on RewindForward family labels like Mechanical Reproductions and champions of bad taste and good music - Fuckpunk.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Avon Terror Corps","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50446353662283,"sku":"2212930","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Widower_-_EP_1e364ea3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727058201"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/bad-tracking.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
