The Welcome Committee

The Welcome Committee cannot really figure out how to use last. fm, but that's ok. Hopefully someone will read this, take pity on them and then give them some sort of idea about how to link the songs they have uploaded to this page. Rest assured, The Welcome Committee are not holding their breath.
They are tired and their eyes are stinging. Their songs sound to them much like something they did that they don't remember; they are distant and dislocated. They have many, many songs to record but lack the inclination to do much about it.

Prophets Of Saturn

Warping out of a blackhole in the British Midlands at the speed of sludge, fuzz drenched tone wizards Prophets of Saturn are a new force for bluesy psychadelic rock.
Hanging their retroscopic riffs amidst a vortex of billowing effects, cosmic waves of sonic dirt and Eastern drones; vocals climb and soar the wall of sound, scattering tales of world ending sub spacial terror to encourage the turning on, the tuning in and the rocking out. The Prophets of Saturn cut their first tracks in an analogue trance, aided by the mighty “state” production team.
