Noise-rock adventurers SCUL HAZZARDs have blazed back in to Australia this month following a successful two-year sojourn in Europe. The band will play their first show in Melbourne since 2008 at the Worker’s Club on the 13th of March where they will launch the CD version of their sophomore album “Landlord”, available now through Sydney label Tenzenmen. “Landlord” has previously been released on 12” vinyl through Parisian punk and hardcore label Rejuvenation, which also put out SCUL HAZZARDs debut LP “Let Them Sink”.

Touted as drumming up a Big Black/Rapeman revival while simultaneously injecting a fresh and visceral edge back in to the noise-rock scene, “Landlord” has received international praise for the band’s ability to create grinding and complex rhythms that jar, jolt and tear holes through your head.
