GRAVEYARD JOHNNYS<\/p>\n
\u201cGraveyard Johnnys<\/strong> are a hard hitting, high energy, international rockabilly machine fuelled with the firepower of early punkrock. Described by BBC Introducing\u2019s Bethan Elfyn as \u201cMy new favourite band\u201d<\/strong> and regularly played on the Radio1 Punk Show, the boys have toured extensively all over the UK and Europe playing everywhere from sold out arenas in Germany to falling down pig pens in Rhyl. Catch them before they explode in your face.<\/p>\n Link : Official Website<\/a><\/p>\n MINUSCULE HEY<\/p>\n From Bordeaux, France, the duet\u00a0Minuscule Hey<\/strong> has an entertaining minimalist rock approach where sixties influences from the Beatles to The Velvet Underground meet contemporary rock in the shape of Radiohead, the Fiery Furnaces and Sonic Youth, full on! The band inhabit an \u201coff your trolley\u201d world comprising minuscule songs that demand you listen to them, absolutely!<\/p>\n Minuscule Hey toured France in 2008, opening for The Do.<\/p>\n Link: Official Website<\/a><\/p>\n JOY OF SEX<\/p>\n Joy of Sex, a very angular trio that use bass, guitar, drum machine, inventive lyrics, forward thinking, random drum bits & things to hit.<\/p>\n \u201cthe best slice of experimental ear-sex you\u2019ll ever be subjected to\u201d \u201cspiky, minimalist, arty\u201d\u00a0 \u201ctunes of plenty\u201d \u201ca tonic that should come in a wraparound sleeved 7inch\u201d \u201cone of the most intriguing propositions to emerge from the Welsh capital for some time\u201d \u201ca wired, boggle-eyed take on the fuzzily taut Pixies\/Wire dynamic with criss-crossing vocals, wrecked song structures and seeming stream of conscious while still meaningful lyrics\u201d \u201cthey spank a spot weld harder than a fruit bat\u201d \u201cWhether you are old enough to have listened to Peel in the early 80s or simply feel he was a bench mark for music appreciation you should and WILL love Joy Of Sex\u201d \u201cThey make a fine racket, skeletal but muscular, minimal, crisp noise driven forward two minutes at a time.\u201d \u201cDelightfully wicked and sarcastic. Great in every single way\u201d \u201cStupidly good looking and cool\u201d<\/p>\n Have been compared to: Wire, Young Marble Giants, The Fall, Talking Heads, Mclusky, Devo, Art Brut, Shooting At Unarmed Men, Pavement, Prinzhorn Dance School, Hot Club De Paris, Pixies, Dischord, The Strokes, Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg, Bloc Party, Kyuss, Chorchazade<\/p>\n Link: Official Website<\/a><\/p>\n THE BROWNIES<\/p>\n The Brownies<\/strong> are not the sort of animal you freely pat, if you want to keep all of your fingers! Firmly established as one of Norwich\u2019s top break-out bands. Their debut release \u2018Means To An End\u2019 was named single of the week in The Guardian and has recieved airplay and high praise from the BBC\u2019s Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens.<\/p>\n A session at the BBC\u2019s Maida Vale Studios and being selected by Skins producer Alex Hancock to play the regional leg of the live tour in 2008 have all since helped raise the bands profile. Signed to East Anglian independant NR ONE RECORDS the group continue to impress all those who witness their energetic brand of punk pop. More recently, the band has finished recording their debut album \u2018Ourknife Yourback\u2019 with grammy award nominated Andy Gill (Gang of Four) and Subways\/Big Life producer Jon Gray.<\/p>\n \u201cThe tag \u2018pop punk\u2019 for one generation at least always conjure up images of Blink 182 and Sum 41, yet the type of pop punk that The Brownies juggle up is far removed from this. Its shouty-faced pop punk thats packed with Riot Grrrrl\u2019s bite, and been trapped under an avalanche of glowing pop hooks on the escape. Some bands would bite off their spouses fingers to have one song as good as \u2018Cougar\u2019; The Brownies deliver an energetic entire sets worth. Norwich may have given us Kaito and Bearsuit, but that city has now given us another batch of delightful ear candy which those missing Be Your Own Pet should get extremely excited about.\u201d<\/em> – Artrocker<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe Brownies could be Xerox Girls\u2019 attitudinal, imperiously cool nieces and nephews. Brillianty out of step with current modish trends, full of heart-in-mouth moments and a hatred so finely tuned its almost sexy.\u201d <\/em>– The Guardian<\/strong><\/p>\n Link: Official Website<\/a><\/p>\n Record Label: Nr One Records<\/a><\/p>\n PLUS:<\/p>\n DJ EDDIE MONSTER<\/p>\n DJS KAMARKARSKI<\/p>\n
