The Worrisome Ankletrout

The Worrisome Ankletrout is a one man band who makes songs by flopping between instruments with strings on them, whilst using a loop pedal to fill in the gaps and occasionally hitting things that are lying around and squealing like a killer whale; a carnival of aural delights.

Theo (UK)

Theo, the work of one Sam Knight, is one for the math rock fans. Taut, chugging guitar loops layer up with frenetic tapping patterns that interweave in spiralling complexity before near sub-atomically precise, powerhouse drumming clatters and builds each song into juggernaut of riffs and rhythms. To achieve something like this recorded is one thing, but to see Theo perform live is quite another as each song blurs into the next and the dazzling guitar and drum acrobatics leave jaws sagging on the faces of all who bear witness to the talent on offer
