Review

Glasgow's Hassle Hound have everything going for them. Hassle Hound won my nomination for best band name plus my nomination for best album title. The excellent packaging for 'Scaring the Grass in the Garden' from Pickled Egg comes with stunning innovative lo-jazz versus nu-This Heat sound . Performed very affectionally 'Scaring the Grass In the Garden' cut a deep impression on the first listen. These precious nine songs build the finest momentum of the year so far. Hassle Hound's sense of experimentation is combined with genuine talent.
