BIG NATURALS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big Naturals live up the name with one hell of a big bass wave. As many as four bass stacks, electricity and drums are carved into mesmorising, throbbing hooks that are enough to disturb any vital organs in the body. Influenced by bands such as Can, Minutemen, Boris, Black Flag and the Melvins.<\/p>\n

THE DEATH OF HER MONEY<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Death of Her Money<\/strong> have spent the last five years finding their way to something that offer\u2019s a unique take on heavy music, no more generic description need\u2019s to be said other than it\u2019s heavy, and it\u2019s music. To explain what it sounds like is not a very easy thing.
\nConstructed from improv and a freeing of the mind process, TDOHM\u2019s spacious, simplistic driving rhythms carrying blood clotted veins of sound flowing down to the dark pit via strange discordant melody, off-kilter chordal progression\u2019s accompanied by intense screamed vocals and layers of feedback that crack through the battered beast that will go down fighting.
\nDuring the last 3 years they have released a 7\u201d vinyl (Rat Patrol Records)<\/strong>, an E.P. (Flood of Love e.p.) through they\u2019re own Suntreader Recordings<\/strong>.
\nTDOHM\u2019s current release is titled \u201cSpirit Of The Stairwell\u201d (Superfi Records \/ Rat Patrol records), they\u2019re debut full length has had praise from the British rock press as well as rave review\u2019s from various countries around the globe and was also voted number 44 in Rock sound magazines top 75 album\u2019s of 2008.
\nHaving just finished the recording of they\u2019re 2nd album titled \u201cYou Are Loved\u201d with plan\u2019s to release it next year at some point, they are planning another UK tour in September and they\u2019re first European tour in November.<\/p>\n

SPIDER KITTEN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Formed in 2001 whilst founder members Chi (vocals, guitar) and Ptew (drums, synth) were at University the band, at that time, was an exercise in distorted noise and performance art, mostly playing around Campus and occasionally the odd club. From 2003 to 2004 Spider Kitten<\/strong> was predominantly performing eerie drone to confused emo kids in tight tight t shirts. But they did manage to turn some heads. As a two piece Spider Kitten enraged audiences and broke PAs with such bands as Taint, Suns Of Thunder and Necrocest. The band acquired a cult following from their live shows which utilised visual projections and on stage mixing to great, and sometimes nauseating, effect.<\/p>\n

Then in 2005, as an experiment, the band wrote some songs. With words and solos and everything. These songs became \u201cThings I Can\u2019t Kill\u201d, an EP that was given away and enjoyed only partially for it\u2019s price. In order to play the more structured material they brought in two local noise merchants who, for the sake of decency we\u2019ll call Nid (bass) and Twan (guitar). With more arms it was possible to have at least another two guitars playing at the same time. Big valve amps sure sound swell on those American records we all know and love so Kitten acquired a quantity and soon after they finished recording their first \u201creal\u201d album, \u201cIneffable\u201d, which was released in December 2007 through their own Rugland Records.<\/p>\n

Since then Spider Kitten have gigged in both England and Wales (including shows with Firebird and Gentlemen\u2019s Pistols), sold all but a few copies of their debut CD and put out a free download only concept album via their website called \u201cFuture Echos\u201d. Twan left the band in pursuit of rave drugs in the summer of 2008. In 2009 Spider Kitten will release a new EP entitled \u201cRats From A Sinking Ship\u201d and have been working on an accompanying music video.<\/p>\n

Do Spider Kitten<\/strong> have a message? Sure they do\u2026I mean they\u2019re bound to aren\u2019t they?<\/p>\n

BROWN WINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown Wings<\/strong> are a band made up of a guitarist and a drummer. They play music influenced by labels like Load Records and Skin Graft and like to play loud music with stupid titles. They have played with bands including Racebannon, The Death Of Her Money, Kling Klang and Action Beat.<\/p>\n

ATOMCK\/CEMENTIMENTAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

Atomck.<\/strong> Influenced by\u2026Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Lightning Bolt, Pig Destroyer, Mastodon, Sunn0))), Gigantic Brain, Sparklehorse, King Crimson, Merzbow, Fantomas, Anal Cunt, Nile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAtomck consequently reduced their performance to a stop start managerie of insanely deft and brutal guitar out-takes from a recently axed commercial for BBC Masterchef. No actually I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m saying anymore. Atomck essentially were the best heavy duty spaz grindcore to be seen, well\u2026anywhere\u201d – <\/em>Hulk Dash<\/strong>
\n
\n\u201cA pair of fellows kicking out really quite badass future grind jams\u201d –<\/em> <\/em>Noel Gardner<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNewport\u2019s heaviest band! Fact. Super digital grindcore played by nerds.\u201d –<\/em> Mikeee<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cementimental<\/strong> based in London, is the name under which I currently make all my experimental noises, using \u2018circuit bent\u2019 electronic sound-toys and basically whatever and whoever I can get my hands on. The project is becoming more of a \u2018band\u2019, as I team up with various other noisy types to produce and perform deranged music and noise of many genres. Cementimental is also part of\/indistinguishable from other projects including Gymnastic Decomposition and Hypno-Bacon. For this Meze Festival show,\u00a0I shall be playing alongside Atomck.<\/p>\n
