NEXT JOY PRESENTATION!\u00a0 Admire the music of LIARS, SONIC YOUTH, ONEIDA?\u00a0 Like your guitars to sound like insistent alarms on malfunctioning factory equipment?\u00a0 Enjoy cooing, falsetto vocals,\u00a0dribbling sweetly melodic but largely unintelligible goo into your ear?\u00a0 Well SWITCH ON, chum, because this is right up your street.<\/p>\n

COLD PUMAS are nominally from Brighton and sound like hot, malfunctioning strobe lights.\u00a0 Shuddering, repetitive guitars, insistent Kraut-ish drumming and vocals which mutter and coo like ‘They Were Wrong’-era Liars.\u00a0 Two EPs and a split 7″ with Male Bonding exist to date, the latter on guitarist Dan’s own label Faux Discx.\u00a0 Check out ‘Jela’ below for unequivocal evidence of why you need to see this lot:<\/p>\n

Tour partners FRIENDO feature on one of the aforementioned Cold Pumas EPs along with guitarist\/vocalist Michael Wallace’s better-known band Women, and strands of the opaque art-rock of that band continue through to his new group’s debut LP.\u00a0 Released to some acclaim on a self-issued cassette in 2009, and subsequently reissued on vinyl by Secretly Canadian subsidiary St Ives Records,\u00a0Cold Toads’<\/em> sticky DIY harmonies and tangle of acoustic guitars, drone and percussion recall the early efforts of Woods, The Microphones\u00a0or even Dinosaur Jr.\u00a0 Very nice.<\/p>\n

SATURDAY’S KIDS need little introduction in these pages.\u00a0 We like them a bit.\u00a0\u00a0We’ve put them on before,\u00a0having opened for Action Beat for us last year, and charted their swift rise from the promising newcomers supporting Shitty Limits in Le Pub two years ago to shapers of muscular noise rock and sludgy punk reminiscent of SST-era Sonic Youth, Flipper, Trail of Dead and more.\u00a0 They’ll be on unfavourably early at this one, so don’t be late.\u00a0 See you there, right?\u00a0 RIGHT.<\/p>\n

LESSON NO.1 & THE JOY COLLECTIVE PRESENT<\/p>\n

COLD PUMAS
\nFrom Brighton, Cold Pumas play madly repetitive and shiny guitar abuse, locking down riffs that are both loudly motorik and shimmeringly melodic. They have releases on Upset The Rhythm and Faux Discx and make a hypnotic racket that fans of ABE VIGODA, BOREDOMS and SONIC YOUTH will lean into. http:\/\/coldpumas.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n

FRIENDO
\nAnother three-piece, this time from Calgary, Canada and featuring current or ex members of a million other bands (notably WOMEN, but also Azeda Booth, Topless Mongos, Puberty and more). Friendo\u2019s scrappy rocking fits a band who started as an experiment in playing unfamiliar instruments: charming, dreamy home-recorded gold that might make you think of SEBADOH, VIVIAN GIRLS or early PAVEMENT. http:\/\/friendo.bandcamp.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

SATURDAY\u2019S KIDS
\nHaving just released two records on the exciting 10\u201d format \u2013 one a split with Exeter band Kids return, one a five-tracker all to themselves \u2013 Welsh quartet Saturday\u2019s Kids, who are in fact suitable for any day of the week, have ample evidence out there of their rampaging evolution. They still sound like a slashing noisy punk band a lot of the time, but are also indulging their taste for tricksy instrumental bits and quiet, measured guitar parts that fans of SONIC YOUTH, MOSS ICON or CODEINE might eff with. http:\/\/www.saturdayskids.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n
