Grisly bluesabilly with a demonic twist has been a genre populated exclusively by people of Nick Cave's generation. The recentish emergence of Brighton's youthful Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster will safeguard its future for the next few decades. Singer Guy McKnight and cohorts sound as if they've been at it for about 100 years, which gives their second album its sludgy nastiness.
