Nottingham summer gigs: racebannon, parts & labor, amanda woodward + more
god's golden sperm shows...
***************************************
RACEBANNON (USA)
The rock n roll juggernaut known as Racebannon lumber out of Indiana and assassinate eardrums with their compelling style of progressive noise/hardcore, sounding like a razor-sharp amalgamation of mid-period Sonic Youth, Big Black, Wolf Eyes and art-school hardcore in the vein of early Black Dice, Antioch Arrow and Wolves! (of Greece). Racebannon have released records on SECRETLY CANADIAN, LEVEL PLANE and
WITCHING HOUR.
BATTLESHIP (USA)
Frantic, garagey art-punk/hardcore which lifts the snot out of 90s punks Le Shok. Battleship grew out of the same vibrant Bay Area scene that spawned bands like Coachwhips and Numbers and elements of each can be heard in their sound.
LORDS (NOTTINGHAM)
Formed by members of Wolves! (of Greece) and Twinkie, Lords kick out fucked up blues jams. Your booty will not go unshaken. Neither will your party spirit fail to be roused.
Nottingham, the Rose of England, Mansfield Road

PARTS AND LABOR (USA)
Pulsating melodic drone/noise/punk 3 piece from New York. Parts and Labor blend thunderous drums, unhinged fuzzed up bass riffs along the lines of Lightning Bolt and squealing clouds of melting drones together to create a hypnotic sound! The band have released records on NARNAK and JAGJAGUWAR.
HUNTING LODGE (BRISTOL)
Unhinged art-punk from Bristol. Coming across as absolutely insane Hunting Lodge manage to hold together some fantastic pounding tunes that point towards the likes of Arab on Radar or a depraved and completely strung out version of Les Savy Fav, fucking brilliant.
THE NOTORIOUS HI-FI KILLERS (LONDON)
Bludgeoning psych-stoner stuff from members of joeyfat and princess headbutt along the lines of Sleep.
LOVVERS (NOTTS)
Snotty hardcore falling somewhere between the Germs and Drive like Jehu, ex murder of...
ACTION BEAT (MILTON KEYNES)
massive drum beats and obnoxiously distorted riffs from this rowdy 2-piece.

AMANDA WOODWARD (FRANCE, LEVEL PLANE RECORDS)
Excellent forward thinking screamo/hardcore from France.

For fans of Envy, City of Caterpillar, Hot Snakes

Heavy progressive hardcore in the vein of Cave-In on tour with Amanda Woodward.
SABRES (SHEFFIELD)
