Guitarist/ vocalist Tony Gonzalez and drummer/ vocalist Timo Silvola formed Barren Womb back in 2011. Since then the duo has released five full-length records, the latest being Chemical Tardigrade (F*****g North Pole Records/ Blues For The Red Sun).
A band with a social conscience, Barren Womb layers its societal critiques in absurdist humour (and no small amount of abrasive, guitar-driven rock). The music is in your face, sounding as crazed as a barrel-load of ferrets rolling down a mountain.
Timo talks to me about the origins of the band, squatting, life on the road for a Norwegian band and plenty of in-depth insight of the album.
You can listen to Chemical Tardigrade on all streaming platforms and if you like it, why not buy a physical copy? Timo recommends Stickman Records for anyone in Europe.
Meanwhile, you can follow the band on Instagram and facebook @Barrenwomb where you can see all upcoming tour dates for the band.
