Got these descriptions from their tour info:
Triple header tour of exciting UK guitar music with..
Shield Your Eyes
Jaw-dropping power-trio centred around Stef’s inventive and mind-blowing yet non-cuntish guitar work and Henri’s ridiculous Zach Hill-ish drumming. They are rightful heirs to the British post-hardcore throne previously occupied by Bob Tilton, Spy vs Spy etc but totally non-revisionist. Think Breadwinner, Hella, Melt Banana but with Rory Gallagher playing guitar. This tour featuring That Fucking Tank member on bass.

NOPE
Psychedelic and cyclical krautock from members of That Fucking Tank, Mucky Sailor and more. Extended grooves, large riffs and sometimes minimal sometimes saturated sounds. Chong one off and have good time if you like Neu!, Smashing Pumpkins, Stereolab, Spacemen 3 or Santana.

Illness
Hot new two-piece from Brighton ripping up the noisey mathrock territory with guitars and drums. Think early Hella, Pink and Brown, Edmund Fitzgerald, Oxes etc.
