Chess Club

Chess Club is a collective that spans several musical genres and diverse lyrical themes ... The four members of Chess Club produce music that is both aesthetically pleasing as well as intellectually stimulating. The music is carefully planned from lyrical to musical content but never sounds un-spontaneous. Intelligent lyrics and careful musical arrangements are the norm even in the more discordant passages that undeniably make up a fully-realized Chess Club song.

To The Bones

TO THE BONES “Marvellous urgency and intelligence – all layered fuzzy guitars, a pounding rhythm section, impassioned vocals and the unlikeliest hooks… To The Bones are sure to become a significant name in UK independent rock… Keep your eyes and ears open.” - Rocksound Magazine To The Bones are essential. Imagine the Pixies tackling Motorhead, all skewed pop melodies and agitated guitar work. Singer Red Reppion possesses the most glorious guttural growl since Kurt Cobain shredded his larynx for our listening delight.
