Fixit Kid

"We are what your Mothers told us to stay away from", say Fixit Kid. They're not wrong. One of those lurching jerking frantic hard boiled screaming strung out Muy Feo/Headcleaner/Red Eye Express/Rapeman type of bands who are at their best when left to do it on no budget and bursting with anger � dirty broken riffs played on rusty finger ripping strings, rumbling baritone guitar violence andt hunderingly colourful low-end drums.

Dead Gaze

R. Cole Furlow fronts Dead Gaze, a skuzzy but very poppy lo-fi band out of Mississippi. In 2010, after Dead Gaze's first cassette release, End of Days, Why Not You on Mirror Universe, the group released a split with Gray Things on Clan Destine. The same year, they also released a two-song 7” single on Fire Talk Records, which found them moving from their early Flaming Lips sound in a chillwave direction with drum machines and synthesizers. ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi

Emit

Emit is a British ambient/black noise band consisting of four members, a guitarist/vocalist, two percussionists and another vocalist. The band formed from the remnants of a short-lived black metal band of 1998 called Ante Cryst. They continued from there, playing experimental black metal/noise (black noise) and gaining some notoriety in the underground scene (as other black noise like Nebiros and Stalaggh popped up, and labels like Todestrieb and Autumn Winds began representing them). After 10 years, Emit is moving onto a new phase.
