The legacy of Rowland S Howard continues with a new 7-inch and a UK release.
Rowland S Howard's death late last year was devastating for the Australian rock scene, but his memory is being honoured with a final record, and by UK critics.His label Liberation is producing the 7-inch vinyl version of his song 'The Golden Age Of Bloodshed', with a new b-side.
The b-side is an unfinished instrumental track called 'Lost In Space'.
'The Golden Age Of Bloodshed' is a track from his lauded final album Pop Crimes, which has recently seen a UK release.
The normally savage UK critics have been fawning over Pop Crimes.
NME wrote that the album is "a brooding piece that sees the post-punk firebrand playing the existential cowboy as beautifully as ever".
The Irish Independent wrote, "Howard's vocals speak of a life lived close to the edge and his garrulous, almost weary delivery is haunting. But it is his evocative, inventive and constantly surprising guitar playing that leaves the greatest impact".
Dog In Space director Richard Lowenstein filmed a clip for 'The Golden Age Of Bloodhsed. Have a look below and remember Howard's genius.
