A new wave of house and garage acts may be changing the face of the UK pop landscape, but Bristolian duo Loadstar are proof that dinosaurs still lumber through the rave scene. Drum'n'bass has long become the cockroach of British dance, able to withstand any and all trends to maintain its persistent presence; what Loadstar add to those familiar breakbeats is a heavy dose of brostep aggro, all video-game bleeps,buzzsaw synths and guitars that sound straight out of a lost nu-metal album. Deriving euphoria from such punishing macho brutalism might be anathema to those raised on more subtle club music; Loadstar stomp on that attitude relentlessly. It's telling that when they bring in grime MCs Scrufizzer and Benny Banks for guest spots, the mood actually lightens; without the focal point of their charisma, the cartoonish one-dimensionality and the near-total lack of variation or dynamics become grim all too quickly. The nadir is reached with Distance, on which the overwrought, sub-Sheeran smear of folk vocalist Lloyd Yates attempts to bludgeon your emotions even as the music continues to do the same to your body and spirit.
