Sign Language

Sign Language formed in 1981 in Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. Initially influenced by the spirit of the first wave of British Punk Bands, Sign Language developed a more new wave/post punk sound akin to their peers at the time, Joy Division,Killing Joke and early U2(Boy LP). After honing down their set of songs, Sign Language gained a strong reputation as an energetic live act, which lead to a gig review and interview in "Punk Lives" Magazine, as well as numerous fanzines.

Comets On Fire

Comets on Fire are a band from Santa Cruz, California. The band was formed in 1999 by guitarist and vocalist Ethan Miller and longtime friend bassist Ben Flashman, who were seeking to create rhythmically and sonically intense music that paid no attention to categorizations. The band's self-titled debut was released in 2001 and eventually issued on the Alternative Tentacles label. Recorded on a four-track, it was a garage/psych freakout of intense if not epic proportions.

Screwtape

There are at least three artists represented here. 1.) Screwtape is the harsh noise project of Australia's Andrew McIntosh. 2.) Walter Gross and Bizzart form Screwtape. An experiment in lost and found sound and noises and samples of some of the weirdest and just most obscure shit I've ever heard. But one thing I've learned about Walter Gross and one thing I've trained myself to do, is to listen to the beats and melodies he hears in his head, and when you break down those walls that tell you what you're listening to is just noise, you'll hear it too.
