PillsDescription
Mnemotechnic are a distorted, electric-tornado of a band. Based in Brest, France the four-piece articulate expertly the mathier elements of the dance-rock genre. Recalling At The Drive-In, Refused and Sonic Youth their sound distills The Rapture’s most intense moments and Nirvana’s grooviest. Piercing, high vocals punctuate visceral, off-beat drumming, which Les Inrockuptibles describe as “Shrill and convulsive rock that makes you dance like you have a gun to your head”.

Get BackDescription
Die! Die! Die!'s fourth studio album was tracked at Blackbox Studios, France - which, according to Steve Albini, is the best recording studio in the world. The Chris Townend (Portishead, D12, Violent Femmes) produced tapes encapsulate the visceral energy and emotion of the band's live shows. Fans of Les Savy Fav, Fugazi, No Age and Male Bonding will revel in the chopped time signatures and Andrew Wilson's ascerbic lyrics.

Oblivious Oblivion
Description
Dunedin’s [NZ] Die! Die! Die! propel themselves into every live show headlong as if it is their last. Throughout the band’s ten year career, turbulent lineup changes have not deterred the band from their singular purpose; to release thought-provoking, head-snapping, agit-pop songs into the world. Relentless touring has converted a passionate fanbase throughout the underground club circuit one by one; in new single ‘Oblivous Oblivion’ we see why they have made such a mark on the scene. Elemental shards of phasing guitars cascade over bullet-proof drumming and high energy vocals. Memorable and moving Die! Die! Die! keep the pedal firmly to the floor on this highlight track from their fourth album ‘Harmony’ available now on Smalltown America Records on ice-white vinyl and digital formats.

When The Well Runs Dry VideoDescription
"When The Well Runs Dry" provides a first-look at the forthcoming debut album by Belfast's More Than Conquerors. Atmospheric, swirling loops of vocal twist around shards of bullet-proof guitar and drums on this emotive and fist-pumping four-minute ride.
Fans of Brand New, Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra will feel at home within MTC's panoramic rock vistas, however vocalist Kris Platt has a gift of imbuing each song with the deeply personal. On this track our singer's tone is confessional "I only talk to God when there is something I need".
The band are on the road throughout the UK this Autumn taking in support slots with The Xcerts and This Town Needs Guns.

Chris McConaghy aka Our Krypton Son hails from Derry, Northern Ireland where he first cut his first musical teeth with psychobilly art-rockers Red Organ Serpent Sound. Having graduated unscathed from those rambunctious ranks, Chris established his songwriting credentials as an acoustic solo act sharing stages with David Kitt, Gemma Hayes, Jape and Cashier No. 9 around the Irish club circuit. Gathering plaudits as a writer of note, Chris gathered close musician friends together in early 2010 to create Our Krypton son and record a debut album of the same name, from which this lead single is taken.

A monster of an album, JPL are back in action with a full-force assault of our sound systems. Pure Jetplane start to finish, riff after riff after riff!
The band took a break from playing live in 2007 and return to public view six years later with this new record 'Don't Try' and new drummer Craig McKean (ex-Fighting With Wire). A taut, visceral art-rock affair 'Don't Try' draws easiest comparison to the bands work on fan-favourite EP 'Els Quatre Gats' [2002] however offers elements from the band's entire recorded output so far.

Black Thigh (Soccer 96 Remix)Description
Psych-rock trio Negative Pegasus present their new single - 'Unimmortal' - out on Monday 10th December. Recorded during the daylight hours in a concrete hole in sunny Brighton during the worst rain storm of 2012, 'Unimmortal' is the first to be recorded since the sessions for their debut LP 'Looming' (released in September). Neg Peg describe the new song as "a taught, slowly unfolding, paranoid whirlwind of subtly intertwined riffs and a motorcade of cascading drums". This is the next level of hard psych from the band behind 'Psychic Energy' and 'Floating Omen'.
'Unimmortal' is accompanied by the same song unnaturally reversed and demonically stretched to become 'Uunniimmmmoorrttaall' plus a remix of 'Looming' album favourite 'Black Thigh' by Brighton's analogue synth vs live drum warriors Soccer96.

Positively fizzing with off-kilter studio wizardry reminiscent of Can and Dungen...brimming with space-echo vocals and lashings of killer riffs
NMEUnique barrage of rhythm and fuzz, with the same stab of power chord looped until it hurts
Rock A RollaNegative Pegasus' debut will have you listening again and again. Maybe it's because you'll feel intimidated and forced into submission by their trance inducing fuzz. Maybe it's simply because they're good.
The 4O5With looping drum arrangements, distorted, echoing vocals and swirling guitar feedback, the band creates unexpected beauty from the dark and murky world of noise
This Is Fake DIYAnd like the Frankensteinian monster it is, debut album ‘Looming’ wanders around, clumsy and aimless, smashing the shit out of anything in its path; mostly, your ears

Ottoman Silver (Pseudo Nippon Remix)Description
The second single taken from Brighton hard-Psych trio NEGATIVE PEGASUS’ debut album “Looming”, PSYCHIC ENERGY is a pounding slab of echo-chamber noise, paranoid whispers and mechanical neolithic beats that will send you cowering for cover. Includes a remix of album track OTTOMON SILVER by enigmatic electro-whizz Pseudo Nippon.

'Definite nods to bands like Pontiak and Wooden Shjips (minus the psych). Essentially they sound like an intense Californian band. Amazing.'

VisitationDescription
Born from a mutual love of the NYC-rock of Oneida, the free-time whirl of Sightings and the joint-snapping mathematics of KILLL and Zu, Neg Peg’s repetitive rhythms are overlaid with ghostly vocals, primal, pounding drums and a thick, choking haze of reverberant effects.
The tracks on debut album LOOMING weave between primordial bone-shakers, stretched-out growls and ethereal retro-pop nuggets. Recorded over a period of 17 hours in an empty warehouse space in Sussex with producer Steffan Eliades, the end-result is equally joyous and disturbing.
The Neg Peg live experience is an apocalyptic blend of Daft Punk rhythms, shamanistic stomps and swamp-rock Creedence licks? “I fucking love Creedence”, says Todd, “We share the same basic concept, it’s all about riffs and echo. Remove the country bits from Creedence and Neg Peg isn't so different, really. Less 'kerchiefs though.”

When you buy your copy of 'Looming' you will receive by e-mail a digital download link of all tracks to enjoy on any digital device.
PRESS:
"High octane riffage from Negative Pegasus who occupy a sparsely populated musical peninsula somewhere between Oneida and Black Sabbath."
The 405"[Negative Pegasus] remind me of Wire, when they're at their most mental or Copenhagan newcomers Iceage... or maybe it's just psych trying to be pushed to the limit."
NME"Interestingly groovy and shamanistic Brighton trio"
Artrocker“You get the feeling these guys are on the right side of maniacal, holding onto feedback and the treble button with equal force whilst ramming a sick covered tongue in your ear.”

An aural-assault comprised of dualling guitars used more as conduits for feedback than as "musical" instruments, contrasting against echo-drenched drums, prehistoricly pounded out like a mammoth bone on a cave floor, Negative Pegasus make music loud enough to feel with your entire body, resonating in your inner ear.

NOWHERE
AS I FADE AWAYDescription
'Plutonium' is a deftly crafted tale which showcases the vocal talent of Chris McConaghy in breathtaking fashion. Broken, vamped chords tumble over an aching lyric which describe perfectly the joy of falling in love (...again?). Images of boyhood flutter into view throughout the track and our singer's 'dreams of plutonium' are perhaps a metaphor for the elemental search for a soulmate.
