THE BRACKISH album review from The Quietus..
'Firm But Fair (Stolen Body) is the third album by Bristol four-piece The Brackish, but the first I’ve heard. My limited interactions with their other bands, all Avon-based and with origins going back a decade or more, didn’t prime me for liking this as much as I do: a set of instrumental pieces – approaching ‘heavy’ at times, often more meditative. The Brackish have a standard rock band setup, but often feel like a vehicle for their two guitarists, Luke Cawthra and Neil Smith. There are lots of great-sounding guitars on here: Neil Young Dead Man-type desert jamming, quasi-new age tinkling, bits evocative of weird marginal rusty post-rockers like A Minor Forest or someone (‘Birdman’) and rad squealy riff salad like Canterbury prog in a teenage metal basement (‘Bango’s Xmas’). And, lest bassist Jacob Tyghe and drummer Matt Jones read this and get the hump, they make for a crack engine-room too.'

YO NO SE
Yo No Se was formed from the ashes of bands The Bad Joke That Ended Well and Factotum and features drummer for Bristol legends Gonga. Members - Al Studer (guitar, vocals), Jason Strickland (bass), Thom Elgie (Drums).
Yo No Se sound ranges from 70's hard rock to grunge and even prog elements. They have a 7" out on US label Greenway Records as well as album 'Soma' out on Stolen Body Records.
“Sprawling hardcore…. joining the dots between Spaceman 3 and AC/DC punk…” – Steve Lamacq
“If you’re into Stoogey punk freak-outs and heavy, throat-shredding rock and roll, then this gorgeous debut 7″ should be in your sweaty palms yesterday”. – Sly Vinyl
“Highly charged and hypnotic….unpredictable and fresh” – Cone Magazine
“Challenging for the set of the festival, Yo No Se can only be described as sounding absolutely huge. On a big stage with the level of sound on offer, they conquer. Their grooving blasts of raucousness has a big crowd incensed, gyrating and surfing on a wave of undeniably catchiness” – Bristol Live Magazine
“Totally heavy, six-legged groove machine” – Whisperin And Hollerin
Iceman Furniss Quartet

IFQ play entirely improvised music with deep rooted grooves and textured walls of sound, blending influences such as post-punk, the New York no wave scene, electric Miles, avant garde sonics and the spiritual jazz movement into their own intense and uncompromising sound.
Harry Furniss (cornet) Ant Brown (bass) Tom J Bryan (guitar and electronics) Chris Langton (drums)
"One of the most uncompromising bands you will see live"
