***DEAFDEAFDEAF***
"Just think if The Chameleons met Mogwai in a dank basement. You’re getting there. A slow builder that crashes in with that classic dark Manchester sound from the Hannett days. Excellent production and sweeping gloomy guitar sounds that shudder and shake with authenticity, A top as fuck band that don’t shy away from their influences and paint their own picture in this world of post punk labelled music that should, by rights have a new label to distance themselves from the usual Fall, goth comparisons."

Winding transgressive post-punk and experimental art rock together like two ends of a fraying rope, Erotic Secrets of Pompeii bring together disparate elements - from industrial to world music. The vocals descend from baritone drawl to manic yelp as the music pivots from hooky, groove-based euphony to discord and angulation.
***WAKEY WAKEY RISE & SHINE***
Wakey Wakey Rise & Shine are a bunch of guys trying to make it in the big bad world at their own pace. Creating a psychedelic sonic landscape attached with facetious personalities and lyricism, their most recent single - Overtime - has seen support from BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing South & West and Amazing Radio with Tom Robinson including Overtime in his BBC Introducing Mixtape and describing the single as "an irresistible slow grower!"
