You Judas are an epic tumult of savage melody. Their second album, Happiness was critically acclaimed by Rock Sound and Terrorizer who said lots of great, but un quotable things. “midst all the doom, there are some of the most crushing, visceral periods of immensely noisy anguished playing that you’ll probably find on a record this year.” Constantly pushing forward and evolving; You Judas are the musical equivalent of ‘Bullet Time’! www.myspace.com/youjudas
Chickenhawk annihilate any suspicion of musical conformity, right when the monastic chanting begins, just after a connon-blast of sucker-punch time changes and knife-fight energy! www.myspace.com/chickenhawk
Elapse-O are Inspired by the ear-whipping guitars of Big Black, the mesmeric rhythms of electronica pioneer Afrika Bambaataa & the jarring vocalines of Swans / Michael Gira, they are an experimental two-piece from Oxford that mixes the abrasive and the hypnotic in equally measures. www.myspace.com/elapseo
Blacklisters conjure up riffs akin to Rage Against the Machine but with an alt twist, a bit like shellac & the Jesus Lizard with a kinky side of gang of four. www.myspace.com/blacklisters
