Much wailing and gnashing of teeth to be found at this killer triple-bill from the good people at S\u0175n and Flux=Rad.\u00a0 Guitar-drum-screaming duo COMANECHI were here last in blizzard-hit January, stripping the walls at the Arts Institute with grungy dynamics, 80s Sonic Youth squall (tellingly, they and co-headliners Divorce team up to cover Death Valley ’69<\/em> on a split EP this month)\u00a0and Akiko’s absurdly kinetic drumming and confrontational patter.\u00a0 They were even better in support of Ponytail a while back, and while this gig will have to go some to top one of the best things I’ve seen in years, you’d be foolish to pass it up.\u00a0 Expect a bunch of thrashy, profane and weirdly catchy two-minute explosions from half-hour debut Crime of Love<\/em>, schizophrenic and smutty noise-pop and Cousin It slinging a guitar about with abandon.\u00a0 Top.<\/p>\n

Freewheeling co-headliners DIVORCE come armed with a splendidly ridiculous pseudo-genre name (‘Nae Wave’), lunging stop-start rhythms, controlled shards of feedback and the thick Glaswegian roar of Sinead Youth’s vocals.\u00a0 Their debut EP took in battering post-hardcore, the restless no-wave energy of Pere Ubu and the scuzzy low-end punk of Silverfish.\u00a0 They share a delicious prude-baiting lyricism with the latter, too; witness ‘Early Christianity’ with its televangelist’s beckoning “We accept all of your faults! We love a challenge!”<\/em>.\u00a0 There’s a dead-on choice of opener in Cardiff newbies DRAINS, a busman’s holiday of sorts from (as far as can be told) Kutosis and Circa Regna Tonat members shirtless and clad in hangman’s hoods and tearing through three-minute bellows of sludgy noise-punk.\u00a0 Seriously, don’t miss out.<\/p>\n

After they tearing ears to shreds in January, Swn & Flux=Rad are delighted to welcome Simon and Akiko (Pre\/The Big Pink) aka COMANECHI<\/strong> back to Cardiff.<\/p>\n

Their debut album Crime of Love received both critical acclaim and all round applause, while their live shows have been known to end in blood, sweat and screaming.<\/p>\n

Glasgow’s finest DIY garage punks DIVORCE <\/strong>will rip your heart out, chew it up and spit it back out in a gnarled mess of bass-driven riffs, jagged drums, and throaty screeching.<\/p>\n

They’ve got a forthcoming split 7″ with Comanechi on the ever brilliant Merok label (Klaxons, Titus Andronicus, Blondes).<\/p>\n

DRAINS<\/strong> are a new Cardiff three piece who played their first gig in Flux=Rad’s kitchen recently and instantly got offered this slot.<\/p>\n
