(Salford)

[Rocket Recordings]

GNOD, back in The Old Malt House, 365 days since they last played here! Ever-reliable, ever-changing.

“The new album 'Mirror', follows on from 2015's triple-album Infinity Machines and promises a "back-to-basics approach" swapping out the beat-driven focus of much of their recent work for a "stark, kinetic and intimidating sound". - The Quietus

Talking of the new album, Rocket Recordings held it up against “the primal punishment of early Swans as the angular clangour of prime Public Image Ltd, yet shot through with a mercurial power and fiery intensity that could come from no-one else. The opening title-cut of ‘Mirror’ seethes with lithe energy and dubbed-out vitality, whilst elsewhere the eighteen-minute closing track ‘Sodom & Gomorrah’ may be the most dystopian piece of music the band have yet created; a harrowing yet fiercely compelling colossus of bleak abjection.”

Housewives

(London)

[Faux Discx, Hands In The Dark, Blank Editions, Negative Day]

https://housewivesband.bandcamp.com/

Housewives are a London based 4-piece defined by their fierce originality and constant sense of experimentation. Having been championed by the likes of This Heat's Charles Hayward and some dude called Thurston Moore, you know yr in for a wild ride.

“Their sound (or noise) is indebted to the scratch and scrawl of No Wave and Post Punk. Melody is often tossed aside in favour of clanging dissonance and sharp rhythmic turns.The influence of the likes of Luigi Russolo, Steve Reich and Phillip Glass can also be found within the space and noise of the group’s DNA.”

FFO: DNA, Test Dept, Zeni Geva, Repo Man

Warren Schoenbright

(London)

[Vacant Fulfilment]

https://hatecof.bandcamp.com/track/warren-schoenbright-fucking-torrential-delirium

Rhythmic noise duo of Daniel McClennan (drums) and Matthew Pastkewicz (laptop). You might remember Matthew from that incredible Cutting Room Records tape...maybe not.

Together, they ease along with stark yet subtlety melodic and psychedelic crescendos, before walloping you in the nads with a huge wall of dense, shard-like feedback and static.

Expect unconventional and creative use of composition and rhythmic interplay.They've been playing around London for a short while, alongside names like Charles Hayward, Imaginary Forces, Caina.

FFO: Gum Takes Tooth, Sly & The Family Drone, Lightning Bolt
