Here's a little more info on the two bands:
i had an inkling
All the way from Manchester, Leeds and Suffolk, formed it seems over the post punk/funk experimentation of the early 80s, principally Talking Heads, Wire and PIL, i had an inkling take the sirloin of that and shift it 20 years forward with post/math rock elaboration and freer jazz wig outs. Odd meters and rhythms clash with ultra oblique guitars that have you thanking the Lord for the invention of stereo mixing.

Pifco
Pifco are a two-piece from Harehills, Leeds, England, playing raggedly hummable tunes in a Trumans Water / Sonic Youth / The Fall kinda way. Drums and Rickenbacker guitar duo spear-minting the grunge re-revolution; fresh!
