Be Nothing Present: S.C.U.M.

Event information

Be Nothing #8

~ S.C.U.M ~

S.C.U.M formed in early 2008, its initial line-up consisting of Thomas Cohen, Bradley Baker, Samuel Kilcoyne (founder of the Underage club nights and the festival spin off as well as the son of Add N to X's Barry 7), drummer Ruaridh Connellan and bassist Joseph Williams who left early on in the band's career due to his priorities, which lay in his desire to become a Barrister.

S.C.U.M's debut single "Visions Arise" was released on Loog Records on 15th September 2008. Since then the band have toured extensively across the UK and Europe to a growing fan base and released three exclusive digital download tracks called SIGNALS. While S.C.U.M were travelling across Europe performing shows they were taking studio time in each city they visited to record new works specific to each location. The music documented their sonic journey and acted as an audio visual scrapbook of the bands travels and musical progression.

S.C.U.M. have been chosen by Portishead to perform at the ATP I'll Be Your Mirror festival in July 2011 at London's Alexandra Palace. On July 18, 2011, "Amber Hands" was released by Mute Records, described by Pitchfork as "the mammoth first single from the London shoegazers".
