I don't want to compare F.O.M to any other band. As tempting as it is, and to perhaps give you a vague idea of what they sound like, but i fear my inadequate words would do them a great injustice. Lets just say that i think you'll be hearing a lot more from this band, and you'll be bummed that you didn't pick up this, their debut release.

Other things: The Coalition can fuck off. The Love Triangle are an excellent band. Politicized youth finally, although people just out for a rumble can fuck off. Lots of UK bands set to release LPs next year. SID set to up the release schedule again..two fold. Yuck need to be stopped. All music TV is a fucking joke. Please stop using found photography for artwork. Green Door Store heralds a new era for Brighton's music scene. Music industry needs to hurry up and die. Andy Auld gets buff.

Eat Skull & Gangllains

Remember that split 7" these guys put out last year? Well imagine if that pair went on tour together...that would be amazing right? Well guess what? They've only gone and made it happen.
Potential show of the year written all over it's face.



Sex Is Disgusting presents ... #27

Ganglians (Sacramento, California - Woodsist, Captured Tracks, Weird Forest)

Eat Skull (Sacramento/Oakland, California - Siltbreeze, Woodsist)

Graffiti Island (London, UK - Art Fag, Paradise Vendors, House Anxiety)

The Hope, 11 Queens Road, Brighton. 8pm, £5 advance & £6 door. 15/11/10.


Ganglians make psychedelic pop inflected with touches of 60's surf music, garage rock, folk, noise and psyche. On their debut LP 'Monster Head Room' looping vocal harmonies reigned supreme over some of the most experimental pop music of last year, songs that were simultaneously reminiscent of The Beach Boys, peers & friends' Woods, and the less abrasive side of Not Not Fun Records. We're particularly excited about having them play at The Hope for us after hearing new track 'My House', one of their catchiest pieces of music yet. Fact; their name is a mixture of gang & aliens and does not refer to the bundle of nerves known as a Ganglian. Come catch this gang of aliens & make sure to hide your weed.


After two incredible LPs and a number of CDRs, tapes and 7"s Eat Skull finally make it to the United Kingdom. We're incredibly excited about seeing this band for the first time as 'Sick To Death' and 'Wild & Inside' were amongst my favourite albums of the year in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Eat Skull's sound flirts with 80's hardcore and punk, shambling Messthetics hidden treasures, paisley pop, the indie rock of Royal Trux and early Pavement, NZ's Flying Nun label, the experimental works of The Shadow Ring & Axemen and much more. It sounds like all these things and none of them at the same time. Just great records made by people who dig good music. Third LP in 2011 apparently.


I once wrote this about Graffiti Island -
"Do you like getting creeped out? How about getting turned on? Both at the same time? Highly-sexed creep punk, bare bones rhythm, songs about ancient rituals delivered with a lobotomised charm."
Now I'm in the band & thus it'd be narcissistic to add anything further aside from that returning to that write-up made me concerned I'm harbouring sexual feelings for Pete. We are frequently compared to The Cramps and Beat Happening. New recordings coming this month.

Divorce & Comanechi tour trailer

Been anxiously waiting to see Divorce again since the second they finished their mind-blowing set at this years Sounds From The Other City festival in Manchester. If you have never seen them perform live then you are seriously missing something in your life. Do not miss under any circumstances.

Its the PHEROMOANS

Former Bullies

So i missed Former Bullies at YES WAY but apparently they played a stormer of a set. I've seen them before though, so it came as no great surprise to hear the kind words of some the YES WAY patrons. My annoyance at missing them was a little dampened when Andy finally handed over the copy of their 'Seasoned' cassette album that they'd given to him for me. Boy oh boy is it ever good, more than good in fact...its excellent and it has swiftly found its self jostling for position in my top 10 albums of the year. I shit you not. Here's a stab at giving you an idea of what it sounds like...errrr a Mancunian Home Blitz meets 60's Paisley-Pop and primitive K Records style Garage a la Halo Benders and maybe some Sebadoh demos in there too. I urge you to purchase it (if you don't have a tape player buy one) and if you get the chance to see 'em live you should. They have a 7" coming out on Suffering Jukebox soon, and i'm proud to announce that we'll be working together some time in the not too distant future too.

WHO ARE THE SEEKERS?

Ryan De La Hoz makes art inspired by 'the fragility of human life' and tells us to 'get busy living or get busy dying'. He certainly seems to be busy living or, more accurately, hard at work if the sheer amount of effort that is evident in how he shows his art-work is anything to go by. Photographs of recent very nicely put together exhibitions are at his website along with a wealth of his work. Look at www.ryandelahoz.com.
