GRUNK – Rugby, England, United Kingdom “GRUNK and Unnecessary Hate Boner” is a series of words that I hadn’t expected to utter yet alone write down so others can.

Full NutritionThe Expanse Of The Internet “May Have Missed Volume 1” is an attempt to counter the volume of requests I receive in the various Ear Nutrition inboxes as I type away. The venture of EN, when it boils down to the barebones of itself, is a spare-time hobby. I try to do what I can,
Full NutritionIcantdie – Bridgend, Wales, United Kingdom Given the three-pieces’ stylistically straddling flexibility, introducing Icantdie is no simple task. 2016 saw the Welsh noise makers dramatically emerge from Bridgend via an organised but cacophonic-inclined blend of self-monikered “Heavy Alternative Rock” beset with an earth-shattering heaviness borrowed from more than one camp.

Full NutritionHidden Mothers – Sheffield, England, United Kingdom Hidden Mothers and their debut EP in this 2020 of woe, enter into the lucrative well of progressive guitar music on a journey to the depths of its blackened fringes. But Matt, what the fuck are you talking about? Well, my various perplexed individuals, I am of course
Full NutritionTarmak – Ghent, Belgium Locked away since 2014 brewing an organised yet jaggedly-unpredictable sound, it is only now that Tarmak and Plow in the year of no real precedent make their play. The Ghent, Belgium based band supposedly began as a three-piece wholeheartedly committed to Acapella Mongolian Throat Singing. However, after ultimately and fatefully deciding that
Full NutritionDaybreaker – Blackpool, England, United Kingdom Daybreaker return with ‘The Redeemer’ in today’s operative Ear Nutrition title.
