Sulk live at Blow Up
|
SULK
Under the rainy skies of London, the shining sounds of Britpop,
Shoegaze and Psychedelia are back in bloom. Locked up in the back
room of an east end gallery stirring up 90s inspired sonic
harmonies, this five-piece's influences are less worn on their
sleeves, than branded on their hearts. Bands such as The Stone
Roses, Suede, Ride and The Verve are wholly evident, but this isn't
nostalgia for old time's sake. It's a whitewash of powerful
prettiness; with sun-drenched vocals, ethereal guitars and pounding
drums, rooted in 90s vibes but with its eyes to the future... |
"Epic, stadium-indie guitars, baggy beats and
trippy lyrics, this Suede-meets-Oasis number sets Sulk far above
other 1990s revivalists" The Independent, November
2011

Fractures live at Blow Up

FRACTURES
"Reminiscent of Supergrass circa 'I Should Coco',
Britpoppy [and] drenched in London" NME,
2011
"The kind of indie band that has become all but
extinct in recent years" NME ones to watch
2012

DAVID WOODCOCK
David Woodcock returns to Blow Up after his show at the club's
18th Birthday in November and will be heading up from the town of
outstanding talent Southend-On-Sea. Expect great songs delivered in
Dave's own inimitable Essex style. Best described as the closest
thing to a knees-up with Chas'N'Dave and The Kinks' Ray
Davies!
