Yowie
Yowie, a dual-guitar and drums trio from St. Louis, have been stunning audiences with their incomparable barrage of sonic kung fu. They accelerate the progressive-rock rhythmic sensibilities of Ruins and Magma and mutate them with the shrieker side of Big Black and Slayer. The band incorporates many variations in time signature, tempo, and tuning, to create a virtual audio maze, but no matter how complex things get, their compositions remain cohesive and compelling. After releasing their debut album Cryptooology on Skin Graft, they lost a guitarist.

They released their debut album Choirs of the Eye on John Zorn's Tzadik label that year. The music of Kayo Dot bridges several genres, from heavy metal to classical music. Their songs involve complex instrumentation (composed by singer and frontman Driver), generally without refrain. They are substantially longer than typical rock songs, often ranging from 8 to 15 minutes in length.

Evan Caminiti
Evan Caminiti's busy work with Barn Owl and Higuma didn't preclude him from the solo route either, with his 2010 effort for Three Lobed Recordings being an attractively dark example of his approach to guitar (and not simply due to the album cover art). Little surprise too that West Winds starts off not only with the wonderfully titled "Night of the Archon" but that it sounds simultaneously sweetly beautiful and darkly menacing; if it's not quite whistling past a graveyard...

Socialist Leisure Party

The Socialist Leisure Party released EP called Tactical POP! for Coffee Cadets that'll remind you of Orange Juice, The Monochrome Set, early Wedding Present and those classic Sarah Records sides. Jangly, nice & concise. Working on the debut album at the moment.
