Format: CDS

Abrasive and grungy second single from Nick Cave's new project, Grinderman

Review

‘No Pussy Blues’ is the second single from Nick Cave's new project, Grinderman. It starts off with a typewriter style beat and our Nick ranting at us in his most angry way ever. The bass is dirty and grungy, while the guitar, when it finally kicks in, creates feedback heaven. This is the best rock'n'roll since Black Rebel Motorcycle Club came on the scene. Its B side is ‘Chain of Flowers’, not the Cure song, but a low key affair, with Nick at his most romantic and with lovely backing vocals.

Track Listing:-

1 No Pussy Blues (Edit)
