Hudson Fall

If you have experienced less than you maybe like to believe, that could be because you are yet to experience Hudson Fall. Because Hudson Fall are not just a band to be listened to, they are a band to experience, a band to be absorbed via the senses rather than through abstract reasoning. They are a band far removed from their contemporaries and their layered, progressive sound belies the fact that Hudson Fall are, essentially, a four-piece guitar band.

A Witness

A Witness were an alternative rock band formed in 1982 in Stockport, Cheshire, England, by Rick Aitken, Vince Hunt and a drum machine, in 1986 replaced by Alan Brown (ex Big Flame). Keith Curtis and Noel Kilbride joined the group in 1983. Initially signing to the Ron Johnson label, debut EP Loudhailer Songs put them at the forefront of a wave of Beefheart-influenced bands that emerged in the mid-1980's. They gained further attention due to the inclusion of the track "Sharpened Sticks" on the NME's C86 cassette in the following year.

The Maybes?

The anthesis of dreary dull mainstream indie.
This is sex, drugs and rock and roll.
