I'll eat your face

I'll Eat Your Face is a two-man grinding party-pack from Cork city, Ireland. THE BOY handles the guitar and shouts while BARRYTRON hits the drums and does the count-ins before each song. Their influences are grounded mainly in beer, telly and a shared dislike of not having both to hand at all times. Songs are fast and mainly deal with fat women, wasps and various other abnormal spewage from the diseased brains of the two simpletons. Gigs in January with Evolution of a Sun, DJ Scotch Egg and Sylvan.

Morton Valence

Morton Valence formed in 2005 and is centred around the vocal pairing of Robert ‘Hacker’ Jessett and Anne Gilpin.
At the heart of the band is the intention to deliver classic, yet distinctly contemporary original and exciting pop music.
Morton Valence is named after the sleepy English village where Hacker and Anne’s previous band Florida (who were signed to Berlin based uber-cool Monika Enterprise) used to record and where the seeds of today’s band were sown, it was a relocation of sorts...
