PETBRICK
Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff
Fri 1 Nov
With a history of destructive music between them, it was always going to be a force to be reckoned with when Wayne Adams (Big Lad, Death Pedals) and Iggor Cavalera (Sepultura, Cavalera Conspiracy) joined forces in a new project they’ve christened Petbrick. But how exactly did the paths of these two cross?
“I was at the Underworld in Camden,” recalls Iggor, “and Wayne’s band Shitwife [since renamed Big Lad] were playing. I really liked their show, so I got in touch with Wayne, found out that he had a studio and he invited me over. We exchanged ideas and before you knew it, we had a demo.” Sepultura fan Wayne remembers getting the message, something of a surreal moment for him: “I was like, the dude from Sepultura just emailed me!”
There’s a definite punk vibe to Petbrick, as Wayne agrees. “The whole approach of the album is quite punk – the songs didn’t take a lot of time to write and that’s intentional. We weren’t going to over-polish and suck the life out of these songs.” If you are curious about what Petbrick are going to sound like, this Cardiff date arrives just after their debut album, and both promise to be unique and very noisy affairs.
