Viruses of varieties electronic and noxious are obviously inherently bad, while "going viral" may these days be perceived as innately excellent news for all involved. Whether or not Virals, the latest musical endeavour from Worcester's Shaun Hencher does indeed "go viral" or for that matter go on to infect many harddrives can at this point only be sketchily hypothesised. However what's instantaneously evident is that this newfangled project from the once-Lovvers man, and in particular Magic Happens, will surely see Hencher make a fair few more friends. Scheduled for release at the end of the month via SEXBEAT, it's a contagious, slackened-tied stomp throughout which Norman Blakian vocals eddy giddily about scruffy yet irrecusably clean guitars and a right old rollocking bass.
