Third in an ongoing harvest of Birmingham-ish based musicians found on MySpace. If you want to be on this list then friend me.
The Big Bang do a stomping, throbbing rock thing with echos of 80s Matchbox. Apparently they’re really good live.
Deluka are very interesting. Couldn’t put my finger on them until the words “New York Punk” filtered through my brain, but even that’s not quite right. Hmmmm… (ta)
The Nameless In House Jam Band. They jam. No two performances ever the same. Have the audacity to put a really long jam session on their MySpace page. Respect is due.
Destroy Cowboy – interesting shoegazer-type stuff with an experimental edge. Need to see live to be sure.
Thee Moths – this seems to be close to the Avrocar / Magnetophone style but with a hefty lump of guitar/folk thrown in. Very slow and atmospheric and quite beautiful. Hmm…
Chrissy Van Dyke – powerful female singer-songerwriter stuff at an intriguingly high standards. One to check out methinks.
Robin – more of the singer-songwriter stuff. Not quite sure about this one – some good moments…
Perception – grinding dirty grunge rock stuff.
that would be ‘thee moths’ rather than ‘three’. dunno what this malarky is about having ‘thee’ in band names all over the place though…
K’rekted. And there appear to be a substantial number of Thee Moths CDs on the living room floor at the moment which I intend to check out shortly…
