Description
Described by the NME as sounding like Weezer being beaten up by The Dillinger Escape Plan, Carnivores draw influence from Fugazi, At The Drive-In, Idlewild, Helmet, Elvis Costello and Nirvana. Carnivores are a three-piece rock band based in Paisley, Scotland. Formed in the late 2000s by college friends Kenny, Grant and original drummer David. Carnivores got to work the old fashioned way, touring the toilet venues of Scotland in a battered estate car building a fan-base show by show. They quickly gained a reputation as one of the craziest live bands in Scotland. Carnivores are: Kenny Leckie (vocals / guitar), Grant M (bass/vocals) and Martin Johnston (drums/backing vocals). Their debut album Lets Get Metaphysical. Recorded live in just six days with producer Bruce Rintoul (Twin Atlantic/Fatherson), the album captures the raw intensity of the bands live show matched with a more melodic, introspective aspect to Carnivores sound. Leckie explains, Most rock music you hear these days is very polished and homogenised. We wanted to go the opposite way and make something that was musically and emotionally very raw and real. Its just three guys in a room playing loud rock music. Lyrically, its like an open wound, for better or worse its practically a diary of the last six months of my life. Our live shows are a release for us. Nothing is planned in advance, its all in the moment type stuff. Anything could happen, says Leckie.
