Way Through

Event information

Upset The Rhythm and bSHO present...WAY THROUGH w/ ZAPOPPIN'

WAY THROUGH are a pastoral punk duo originally from Shropshire, now residing in London. Informed by the field as much as the flyover, Way Through write songs which phase in and out with guitar, tapes, damaged drums and vocals. Using wrong-footed repetition, rapid interplay and free-looping happenstance the band create a ragged yet intuitive tapestry of sound. Their songs walk the streets of market towns, wait forever at bus stops and lose themselves in edgelands. Way Through find great resonance with the spirit of place and try and channel its feeling into their music, joining the dots between lost places and deteriorating histories. Their debut album 'Arrow Shower' is out now on Upset The Rhythm, alongside the band's new deep map project of London's East End.

ZAPOPPIN' are a harmonium, banjo, stomp 'n' snare band from Falmouth. After touring and recording as a 'powerskiffle' three-piece (culminating with the release of 'Antiquarian Party Ballads For Dames' on Serious Types records) the band now exist as a duo for which even the most hair-brained of sub-genres couldn't keep the classification police happy. They've taken to calling it ugly music, and it sounds, at times, more frenetic than they've ever played before - but at others, more expansive and experimental. 'Another Pearly Wotnot / Tears', their new 7" EP is a collaborative effort with electronic musician Jaxson Payne and demonstrates this new direction by turning the groans of their miniature harmonium into something unfathomably epic, and reworking Jaxson's electronic textures into a kind of absurd music-hall repent.
