Press Reviews This is what Kerrang! had to say about Perennial Shutdown.... "Repulse and Throat provide yet more proof that the grass-roots scene in Britain is blooming.This independently produced split album contains 5 tracks by each band, showcasing their individual approaches and burgeoning talents.Repulse initiate proceedings with a psychedlic bludgeon to rival Kyuss, the rhythmic invention of the Jesus Lizard, and a bottom end so big it was last seen on '2 Fat Ladies'.But teenagers Throat still manage to steal the honours with their intelligent blend of Handsome-style heartfelt melodies and emotional intensity. A fine record from two ferocious prospects. If they tour, miss 'em at your own risk."

Location Larne, Co. Antrim - Ireland
