Review by Chris Nettleton

Rock Sound's 6 In The City takes us far away from four on the floor in Camden, giving us a chance to research the researchers of rock, back to back ...»

Camden Underworld

Beneath the Worlds End Pub, right opposite Camden Town tube.

Home of such Drowned in Sound shows as Span + Winnebago Deal + Colour of Fire (March 3rd 2003) Biffy Clyro + Redjetson (March 2003), Kinesis + Reuben + Miss Black America (February 2003) and many more.»

65daysofstatic

65daysofstatic is currently Joe Fro, Paul Wolinski, Rob Jones and Simon Wright; Feedle, Iain Armstrong and Gareth Hughes are former members.

The band are primarily instrumental, using beats and glitches alongside crunched guitars and hardcore drums.

65days originally formed, allegedly, to try and write music to fit the unreleased and little known John Carpenter flick Stealth Bomber starring Kurt Russell. Set over "65 Days of Static", a period of time after some unknown global infrastructre and communications breakdown, it also gave 65 their name.

Apparently.

yourcodenameis:milo

Post-hardcore quintet from Newcastle, who sprang into life, and all over MTV2, in 2004 with mini-album All Roads To Fault, which spawned an excellent single of the same name.

After touring with Mclusky, debut album Ignoto was written and recorded and, largely, appeared to be too clever for its own good. Full of intricate signature changes, it seemed to go over the head of some folks.

They departed Fiction/Polydor soon after, and were signed within weeks to V2. To celebrate, they called up twelve or so other acts and spent 14 hours per day in the studio playing unrehearsed, then released the collaboration under the name Print Is Dead in late 2006. They Came From The Sun, their second album proper, followed in April 2007. It was far more accessible and much calmer.

Twin Zero

Twin Zero create a spellbinding mixture of harmonic tranquillity and flat out brutality - featuring the wicked minds of former and current members of earthtone9, The Blueprint, Vex Red, Scenes, Sack Trick, Subvert and My War...
