THE WARLOCKS

Event information

The Warlocks:
Through their latest album ‘The Mirror Explodes’ it is disorientation through a longer lens — pictures of luck, longing, losing, moods and fever dreams scrambled in the haze of near and distant memory, the band’s signature amalgam of White Light/White Heat attack; space panoramas, fuzz, melancholy, and melody is present and potent. But there is vivid focus too. Throbbing bass lines, distant rolling thunder drums, and zombie rattlesnake shake are a heartbeat of strange, ominous vitality. Guitars howl, slash and bounce like light. Bobby Hecksher’s vocals sound oddly alone and unsettlingly intimate all at once. And just when you think you understand the sum of these sonic elements, they become something else.

The Muscle Club: From the same scene as Los Camp! They trill along elegantly with their jangling Marr guitars and spiked lyrics. blinking in the daylight, with riffage, tunes, attitude, melodies = winner's. "Spiky, pumped up riffage and sneering tunesmithery... Energy in abundance, The Muscle Club boast a rippling guitar pop sound that's got more melodic muscles than Mr Incredible.
