The Drowned Man Resuscitator

Now get your lugholes round this latest bout of life and the living of it- drinking, fucking, stupidity, tenderness, religion and death. Folk music given back its balls, bite and no little bile.

Broderick & Allen started the Loins as a raw, stripped down acoustic duo in 1990 and soon had legendary cuts man, Billy Childish, in their corner. He recorded their first Spartan albums live in his toilet onto a mono Revox tape machine and released them on his Hangman label. These savage uppercuts are now swapping hands for big dollars on ebay and quoted as a major influence on the growing punk/folk movement. A bout of onstage sparring resulted in a 6-year lay-off until they shook hands and returned re-girded in '05 with a straight right to the bread basket: "Songs To Hear Before You Die" was immediately hailed by discerning rags as the dog's bollocks. New to the stable is Rob Shepherd who bought a shed load of nicked traditional instruments to the proceedings. He's a good boy.
