SPACE HORSE (USA)
To say I’m excited about having this band play for us is an understatement. Space Horse have more pedigree than Triple H. Drummer Matt Anderson is the founder of Gravity records which He started in 1989. Gravity set the template for the “San Diego” sound, releasing records by such definitive bands as Antioch Arrow, Angel Hair, Universal Order of Armageddon and of course his own band Heroin. His band mates also played with influential Gravity bands such Camera Obscura, Clikitat Ikatowi and once again Heroin.
Space Horse is however not a band to coast on past achievments, and their debut lp is one of the freshest and most exciting records of the last couple of years. Urgent rock and roll hardcore, that bleeds intensity from every pore.

ERRANDER (Leeds)
Anyone who witnessed Errander earlier this year when they toured under the P>S>P moniker will testify to what a genuinely amazing live band they are. Furious in your face metallic hardcore, that aims straight for the throat, then wont let go until it’s decorated the dance floor in your arterial flow. Their album will be out later this year on In At The Deep End Records.
“Blending near on white noise with great melody all wrapped together to form an intensity I haven’t seen in a heavy band for a long time. Errander avoid being boring and generic. They just shine.” - gamefoe.co.uk

WHORES WHORES WHORES (Leeds)
Whoresx3 (to abbreviate) debut album “Unicorn” clocks in at just 17 minutes for ten tracks. That should give you some idea of the frenetic snazzy hardcore noise that you’re going to be exposed to. Think The Locust goading Botch with a toasting fork into skullfucking Daughters to death. It seems a suitably sleazy note for these dangerous sex pests.
“By allowing their penchant for unpredictable arrangements and off-kilter experimentalism to butt right up against their precision-engineered chops and razor-sharp songwriting nous, WhoresWhoresWhores have crafted something absolutely incendiary.”-Sandman Magazine

BEN COZINE (Edinburgh)
What’s that you say? A Hardcore band? From Edinburgh? Actually getting up and touring outside of Scotland? Well it’s true! Going boldly fourth, the amount of gigs under their belt has made all the difference to these local heroes, sharpening their sound and insuring their debut CD “Nice to see you’ve all bonded through this disaster” was as confident and original a piece of modern hardcore as any we’ve seen in these parts for some time.
