Support-acts: HØUND, Mannheim & The Sweet Release of Death.
Bristol Noiserock
Since escaping the confines of a small seaside town and burrowing themselves into the UK’S DIY scene, Spectres have swelled into an uncompromising beast.
Debut album Dying
In the two years between releasing their game changing Hunger EP and debut album Dying they were selected by Too Pure to release a 7” for their Singles Club series, self released a now long sold out 10” and pummeled their way around the UK supporting the likes of Factory Floor, Lorelle Meets The Obsolete and Bo Ningen, earning a reputation of sucking the audience in and spitting them back out. Album of the Week in NME Magazine, features on Radio 1 as well as unanimous praise in all of the UK’s printed press have all added to this triumphant gatecrashing. A couple of years ago this could not have been predicted, but Spectres have become impossible to ignore.
“Bristol noise freaks debut is a deeply unsettling but utterly compelling listen” -NME
Supports
HØUND
Alternative rock tinged with psychedelic influences; that is what you should expect from HØUND, a six-piece band from Amsterdam and The Hague. Taking inspiration from The Dead Weather, Queens of the Stone Age and Sleepy Sun, they build tracks around an energetic wall of sound which they contrast with an array of songs characterised by a more dreamy and atmospheric vibe.
Mannheim
Dutch inventive noise rockers Mannheim gives birth to grooviness from a higher heavier dimension. Mixing a sweaty punk vibe with a “black jazz” approach, the band sounds like a power clash between And So I Watch You From Afar, Shining, Zu and a free jazz driven locomotive. Whilst no strangers to jazzy, avant-garde skronk, the quartet have an almost sludgy/post rock sensibility to them as well.
