Knowle Road by Visceral Collapse

Kevin Shares a brief explanation

Shane and I got to talking of records we wanted to do… I guess the older you get, the more curious you become… records we only talked of doing but never got around to it… Covid came and gave us two things … crisis and time on our hands… I sort of feel I have created deconstructed music in multitudes of methodology and melody might be an unexplored extreme…

So Shane wrote some songs for the next Venomous Concept album - more up tempo high paced rock and roll punk mixed in with a Husker du melodic 80’s hardcore punk feel… it goes this way then that way and an album forms…anyways you will hear more about that album next year

The idea was to fly into Birmingham/Cambridge and record for my birthday back in September… I arrived 3 days early to work on last minute ideas for the record we had written… us not being capable of following a plan went in and immediately recorded an emotional avalanche titled Knowle Rd. extreme and harsh vodka stuff… This may not be for everyone… that said – this record was Johnny, Shane and myself… So in an effort to direct the ear, we are using a different acronym for this VC record – this part of our hard drive will be called Visceral Collapse… which if you think about it… defines 2020. If in the future “Venomous Concepts” exceed perceived content, we will probably come up with another acronym… but Ook will always be VC!

So if you enjoy placing your head in an oven, I encourage you to get in your special place… and set your head to broil… Knowle Rd is the 2020 lease breaker everyone felt this year…

Visceral Collapse is an extension of Venomous Concept in where the members get to explore other extremes that at that point in time may not fit into the Venomous Concept mould...but as we all know moulds can break at times life is for living love to you all as we enter 2021 VC x
