SECONDSMILE
Secondsmile is a five piece progressive / indie / rock band from the small valley town of Bridport, Dorset, England. The aim is to write original passionate music that is true to us as people. They are not just influenced by music but by all forms of modern culture; Films, Books, Art and by stories we hear, dreams we have and our existences in general.
"Think the brash intensity of Thursday, the introspective calm of Radiohead, the chaos of At The Drive-In and the sheet technical brilliance of Minus The Bear - this is mesmerising stuff" Metal Hammer
"The Dorset boys hold anger and big jagged riffs way back, tricking
listeners into a false sense of security before smacking them round the head like rock gremlins exposed to the sunlight" Kerrang

WINTERMUTE
Wintermute are an indie/math/pop 4 piece from Leeds, UK. Collectively, the band share a love for the likes of minus the bear, at the drive-in, fall of troy and smashing pumpkins alongside a diverse mix of influences; what you can hear of this in wintermute's music is for the audience to decide. National press such as drowned in sound and rock sound have now picked up on what the local press like sandman have been saying for a while: ditch your doubts at the door, and expect to be impressed.
"...punchy and pop-infected, akin to The Futureheads poising notes at
sharper angles. Ditch the doubts at the door: expect to be impressed." Rock Sound
"A curious combo of At The Drive-In and Interpol, splashed with a bit of
Foals-ian mathletics, tight and adventurous, Wintermute are cool." NME

REFLECTIONS OF ELEPHANTS
Combining jabs of frantic noise, furious drum rolls, a heavy spattering of angular influence and a singer that yells himself hoarse Chelmsford's
Reflections of Elephants make Biffy Clyro sound like indie bedwetters.

THE COLD SOVIETS
the Cold Soviets strive to produce "something different that hits you when you listen to it" and with recent work they draw on the ambient drones and noise bursts of Explosions In The Sky and throw in a healthy dose of glitch beats and spaced out sounds. A cult following awaits.
