Sydney's pious Paladins of Battle Pope mix sludged-out stoner swing with detuned slabs of grindcore and hypersexualised inanity. The effect is something akin to Little Richard wildly shafting Blood Duster, Captain Cleanoff and Elvis at a hedonist coke orgy. They have a 12" split CD with Jesus Christ Posse due out late 2012 on Art As Catharsis. Members of Battle Pope have played in Serious Beak, Adrift for Days, and Dumbsaint.
