Who are Shit and Shine? A bizarre London/Texas hybrid of weird shit currently causing a stir down London way that's who.
Equal parts Strangulated Beatoffs, Butthole Surfers,
Merzbow, Melvins and Boredoms - fusing sonic blasts and monster riffs into a hearty brew.
Gnod Gnetwerk
There's a real whiff of rural menace emanating from Gnod. But that isn't to say the band are rooted, or even earthbound, in any sense of those words. Although operating out of Islington Mill in Salford, everything about the music the band make seems in permanent flux, in search of extreme moments of joy or abasement, whichever comes first. Is it the lost knowledge of the Gnostics, the magic of the ancient world, expelled from the human mind but now seeping back into consciousness through the primal and feral frequencies employed by the band? Or are they simply a devastating calibration of good ale, savage drugs and a brutal sound system.
ILL
Ill have a harsh Faust flavour that borders on the industrial...great music with a wayward edge. And yes, you can still dance to it. - Cath Aubergine, Louderthanwar
