Prettiest Eyes
From the John Dwyer (Oh Sees) diaries:
“Very pleased to be working with these boys…
I first saw them ages ago at the Satellite and they were cake-takers that night…now, they are stronger and weirder than ever.
I couldn’t believe this new batch of tunes and their bananas-energy live show and, their fans are hard-core heads, just a soup of dance and mouths agog brutal, fractured, pogoing beats played by Pachy, also the singer, belching out vocal smoke rings in the laser light above the din they are flat out commands, militaristic in their delivery and yet catchy, like you like em Marcos, an extro-sensual bassist who climbs inside of your mind-clothes while grinding out aggressively greasy throbs and pulls and Paco, the keyboardist who at times plays reeling wailing lines that could be mistaken for a number of other instruments…and the hair on this dude I have a hard time remembering how nice his face is offstage, all you can see is a whip wigging out.
They are captivating, they are odd, they make strange and
interesting choices… futuristic and yet drawn from the same sonic sludge that all mankind derives from they live and breathe early Los Angeles punk vibes while still innovating at every turn there is electricity in this sound they simply rule and what a pleasure to hear the album doesn’t stray far from what makes them just melt it in person recorded perfectly to harness the animal on a nice inanimate slab of plastic you can take home for fans of Screamers, Suicide, Chrome, and yes, a hint of a down unda Birthday Party”
Ghost Car
Ghost Car
"Ghost Car are an all female rock-riot girl type band, with sickly sweet voices mixed with haunting keyboard sounds and gritty punk guitars and bass. They’re like a mixture between an all female version of the Cramps and a more punk, grunge version of Tennis. Crazy, and dead nice too!"
Abbie Lou Fowler for Catalogue Magazine
Rainmaker
RAINMAKER are a 4 piece post-punk/shoegaze band hailing from Exeter and are now based in Bristol. Forming through their love of music at college in 2016, they were quickly immersed in the music scenes of Exeter and Plymouth and shortly found themselves dubbed one of BBC Introducing in Devon’s “favourite discoveries of 2017” by presenter James Santer, after gaining airtime and a live session for the BBC supporting their first EP ‘Waning Moods'.
Combining fuzzy riffs, droney vocals, loud drums and melodic basslines, they form an amalgamation of records you might find in a young Dad's attic.
