Bell Witch

From the ashes of Sod Hauler and Lethe comes Bell Witch, the newest heavy music project for Seattle based drummer Adrian Guerra and bassist Dylan Desmond (also of Samothrace). Bell Witch's bass and drum only doom metal is extremely bleak and extremely heavy, just as it should be.

Dead Days Beyond Help

Dead Days Beyond Help is Alex Ward's latest performing band, and also includes Jem Doulton on drums. Conceptualised as a tight experimental 'prog-rock' duo, DDBH also plays songs from the forthcoming Alex Ward & The Dead Ends album, as well as their own material. The resulting live shows are a cacophonous mix of loud, aggressive, mathematically complex rock riffage, lengthy improvisation, and unpredictable and misleadingly subdued country-western bile. Debut record coming soon! http://uk.youtube.com/user/DeadDaysBeyondHelp

El Ten Eleven

El Ten Eleven is a Los Angeles-based instrumental rock duo consisting of Kristian Dunn and Tim Fogarty. What separates El Ten Eleven from their musical peers is that they are only two musicians on stage creating pounding landscapes of sound with no laptops or sequencers. Dunn switches off (sometimes mid-song) between a double-neck bass/guitar and a fretless bass, while his feet dance on an extensive floorboard of looping devices and effects pedals. He plays everything live, loops himself and juggles all the layers of tracks on top of each other.

Shovels & Rope

Necessity is the mother of invention. Less is more. Make it work with what you've got. 2 Guitars, a junkyard drum kit (harvested from an actual garbage heap- adorned with tamborines, flowers and kitchen rags), a handful of harmonicas, voices, and above all.. songs. Cary Ann Hearst & Michael Trent prefer to keep it simple. They have cleverly managed to take 3 separate recording projects and combine them into 1 cohesive, folk rock, sloppy tonk, harmonized, loose but tight, streamlined audience killing machine.
