BROOHAHA - EP (4th Note) - The wonderfully named Broohaha are "a five piece from Leeds who (in their own words) play alternative grunge jazz that's heavy, spiky, polyrhythmic, loud, empathetic, haunting, incessant, driving, disjunctive, striding, aggressive, energetic..." They hit several nails right on the head there, they're all of those things and more more more... Hard-boiled angular jazz noise and awkwardness for jazzheads who don't like rock and rockheads who don't like jazz, for those who like jarring angular progressive Crimson colured Voivodian jazz noise that never ever descends in to any kind of state that becomes just noise, if these are experiments that they're very controlled calculated, extremely well structured experiments, tunes that flow. Clever tunes, driving bite, dirt under those fingernails and never difficult to listen to, this is fluid, these are real tunes, these are serious players (from Leeds college of music). Those dirty sounds are so thick, so alive and rules are just words unless you follow them. Jazz that challenges, rock that doesn't conform, broohaha indeed, excellent! And packaged so well, hand screen-print feel to that fold out cover... Everything good, Jazz that rocks, six chunky tracks, vital you grab a slice - www.myspace.com/broohahauk
