Elohymn

Elohymn originate from a small town in northwest England (Chorley). After a year of member alterations, travelling and other excursions settled as a three piece in late 2005. Cryptic meanings and unusual fusion of style keep Elohymn amused in the laboratory. Review: "Elohymn introduce themselves with some cryptic recorded dialogue, progressively mutated until indistinguishable. There’s a yell from the lead guitarist that spoils the atmosphere a bit, but forget about that.

Sleepmakeswaves

Sleepmakeswaves are an instrumental rock band from Sydney, Australia. Drawing influences mainly from but not limited to post-rock, the young quartet mix driving metallic bombast with textured electronics to create a sonic space where delicate melodies and thunderous climaxes peacefully co-exist. Since their formation in late 2006, sleepmakeswaves have rapidly established themselves as a promising and unique voice in their field.

Theo (UK)

Theo, the work of one Sam Knight, is one for the math rock fans. Taut, chugging guitar loops layer up with frenetic tapping patterns that interweave in spiralling complexity before near sub-atomically precise, powerhouse drumming clatters and builds each song into juggernaut of riffs and rhythms. To achieve something like this recorded is one thing, but to see Theo perform live is quite another as each song blurs into the next and the dazzling guitar and drum acrobatics leave jaws sagging on the faces of all who bear witness to the talent on offer

Six Gallery

"The musical machine gun of Will Vokac and Ben Schreiber's finger-tapped guitars is still there, but the addition of Daniel Fancis' vocals has pushed the group into uncharted territory. One could go on and on about the ways in which Fancis bounces from expression to expression, often ripping into a soulful cry before sinking into a whisper (give the standout "Built to Last" a try). His rambling lyrics drop facts, allusions, secrets, and tall-tales with equal earnestness and we're not sure whether to believe all of it or none of it.
