BAND OF THE DAY: LE BUCHERETTES

There's no gagging, gurgling deep-throat samples or KKK rally speeches here, but the boundaries of acceptability are being well and truly pushed. Crusties, prepare to cry foul. Formed in 2007 in Guadalajara, Mexico, Le Bucherettes are a sleazy garage rock two-piece featuring drummer Gabe Serbian, he of The Locust and ex of Cattle Decapitation, as of LB vocalist/guitarist Teri Gender Bender's relocation to Los Angeles in 2009.

Le Bucherettes debut album, 'Sin, Sin, Sin', is produced by Omar Rodríguez-López of The Mars Volta, and is due to be released on his label later this year. A surprisingly catchy, very '90s single is up for download here, but while the music is all jagged guitar rock irreverence, the band are waging a war on the malign mundanity of domestic oppression – check out this LA Weekly interview. Not that they're trying to appeal to reactionary grindcore douchebags or anything, but that should tip the scales over from overwhelmingly unappealing to mostly unappealing.

Now stop throwing things, please. You can have some crappy d-beat tomorrow.
