The WHITE MICE Maxximum Ganjahovahdrive Tour 2010 kicks off today in the band’s locale of Providence, Rhode Island. From there the blood encrusted, furry savages will infest and pillage the country for the next month and a half, bringing their vomitous, psychotically-entrancing apocalyptic hymns about Cheesus and such to the masses, including a massive headfuckfest in the southwest, as they invade SXSW for a plethora of shows.
When asked to describe their sound In a recent Hellbound.ca interview, WHITE MICE drummer Phallusturd Scrowleak spouts “Diehearearrock is what wee call it. Grate music to Commit Sin to, others might attempt name us butt there is only one true name, of which can only be produced by the screaming flatulence of 666 demons breaking winds of 666 different tones and can only be heard by the whoreshippers of Cheesus Miced the lard and slaviour.”

The WHITE MICE’s recent release Ganjahovahdose [their 6th official full-length, amidst a sea of other splits, EPs and releases] was their debut for gourmet underground noisemonger 20 Buck Spin. Mixed by Ken “HiWatt” Marshall (Skinny Puppy), the unclassifiable beast of a release has since raped the media and thrill-seeking noisemetal purists’ playlists, supporting the crew’s constant live savagery since it’s latter 2009 release, making this springtime tour the ultimate breeding ground for all to succumb to the bestial delight of these disease spreading vermin.
“We’re talking the scabby riffs of Buzzov*en, the rhythmic eccentricities of Lightning Bolt and the psychedelic clutter of a shotgun full of mescaline.” – Decibel
“…White Mice find their way to catchy antiriffs that emphasize tight grooves even when roared and echoed vocals slur all over them.” – All Music Guide
“They’ve been categorized as industrial, noise, art rock and noisegrind. Perhaps a better description would be unclassifiable.” – Hellbound.ca
“These masked vermin are back with their sixth record and remain too metal for their old home at Load Records, but way too noisy and fucked-up for any self respecting metalhead – which makes them perfect for 20 Buck Spin.” – The Montreal Mirror
