Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Free entry / PWYC! Brighton power-trio here to pulverise the Lanes with propulsive melodrama: PROJECTOR hit the sweet spot between the post-punk grit of Interpol, Pixies et al and Spoon-esque indie rock melodiousness to make pure grunge-pop magic. No-contest new faves FFO: Sonic Youth, The Breeders, CLT DRP, Fraulein, DITZ."

PROJECTOR deal in nuance of expression and the true insanity and grit of modern life, psyche and politics (although they don’t like to talk about lyrics.) With the same attitude to recording, PROJECTOR have kept a firm grip over their creative output by producing and recording themselves for the last few years.
PROJECTOR’s debut album ‘NOW WHEN WE TALK IT’S VIOLENCE’ moves effortlessly between artful derangement, aggression and the pop hooks that have regularly seen the band gatecrash the mainstream rock scene. At times it’s drenched in the dark, industrial brutalism of Joy Division, at others it’s a spectacular of hyperactive, Squid-flavoured rant pop. The album features climaxes that stagger into acid-soaked country, warped with drum machines and lush harmonies, before leaping into blisteringly paranoid Incesticide-era grunge, topped with melting Lana Del Rey flavour choruses. Above all, the band’s tightly wound intensity drives the album with the strange fervour of early Pixies that reflects the energy of their live show.
