Review by Dan Kiener

With static Tim Burton haircuts wavering towards the sky, and sharp red shirts cut with straight black ties, This Et Al look something like a gothically distorted Kraftwerk. And then within a moment of taking up guitars, there are arms and guitars flailing, the stage is alight, big and spooky, This Et Al take a crimson hammer to your ears. As heavy and graceful as Far or The Velvet Teen, a sound this big belongs outside this minute sauna - it could conquer much larger venues with ease, even the festival stages. This needs to be shared. Style, nuance, and charisma wrapped up in a painfully gorgeous controlled havoc.»

About the artists

This Et Al

Rock-inspired Leeds quartet, who've drawn comparisons with Biffy and Muse amongst others. Debut album Baby Machine is due for release in 2007, having seen a limited-edition release at the back end of 2006.»

Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst Into Flames

Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst Into Flames

Five young gentlemen with a mutual appreciation of Q and Not U, These Arms Are Snakes etc, and a collective fear of a good haircut, apparently. »
