Review: Shadow Ring were an enigmatic force throughout the decade of their existence. They operated on the international musical underground and had a shambolic post-rock sound that reflect the rag-bag group of rowdy teenagers who made it. The self-released pre-Shadow Ring tape The Cat & Bells Club came in 1992 and is getting its first ever vinyl pressing, as is the group's sophomore record Put the Music In Its Coffin. It is a more dark and sinister album that collides low-fidelity rock, noise, gauzy guitars and plenty of grit and sleaze. It has a dark and unsettling ambiance throughout and remains a truly unique record.
