Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! There’s drum solos, and then there’s a Ryosuke Kiyasu show. Armed only with two sticks and a snare the esteemed grindcore / free jazz scenester somehow summons rhythmical re-awakenings and moments of pure musical ecstasy in all that witness. "

Support from
DISTRAXI
One of the standout performers of the South West's killer noise scene. With portentous drumbeats, powerdrill feedback, big-rig bass throb and throttled vocals, Bath's Distraxi manifests queer sonic desperation through her self-styled "pain electronics".

CONQUEROR WORM
Longstanding Bristol based bass, synth, drums and vocals noise grinders. Featuring members of Human Cull and Atomçk. Expect blasts, noise, synth violence and maybe a riff or two. Like The Locust meets Bastard Noise trapped in a bin.

ABSENT SIGNIFIER
Killer new Bristol based free grindcore duo. That's like free jazz, but grindcore innit.
