PIVOT
http://www.myspace.com/pivotpivot
(Warp Records)

“You’d probably have to consider Pivot a post-rock band - they mix glitchy electronics with live playing in the form of instrumental music. But compared to this, most post-rock really is insipid and in search of ideas. Pivot have no problem coming up with those and deploy them artfully. . . .This blend of intimacy and extroversion is euphoric. Warmly human but reaching for the heavens. This is repeated in the manner in which programming feels so natural a part of the sound. Perhaps it’s the skill of the musicians in being able to play like machines, perhaps it’s the ever evolving humanness of the sequencing - but they don’t contrast each other - they, again, blend into a solid mesh of forward momentum, gathering in any and all particles of sound along the way.” - Adrian Elmer, Cyclic Defrost

Munch Munch

“Madcap, fucked-up, casio-core, twin-drum assault collective who’d write awesome pop anthems if they ever stayed behind their instruments long enough or settled on a line up”

Nacional
http://www.myspace.com/wearenacional

“nacional seems to derive their energy from the early to mid-eighties magic of bands like the june brides or the wedding present so therefore stand apart quite brightly from todays crop, and all the better for it with two sides of catchy, emotive indie that grab you instantly.”-Rough Trade

“Those cheeky angular Wire-like guitars bite as the rhythms make you dance like Joy Division’s Ian Curtis.” -The Daily Record Review

The Foundling Wheel
http://www.myspace.com/thefoundlingwheel

“A one man wail of screeching banshee sonics . . . braiding chromatic sheets of singeing electro-bending between frayed laces of gleaming melody.”-Billy Hamilton, The Skinny
