What the Blood Revealed + Guests

Event information

Bear Hands are thrilled to present the post-rock extravaganza of the summer, hitting the Hope on Friday, August 23rd!

WHAT THE BLOOD REVEALED

What the Blood Revealed is an instrumental rock band from Irvine on the West Coast of Scotland who have created a sound influenced by such giants of the left-field as Isis, Neurosis and Mogwai. They have released two well received EPs which have found their way to friends in 5 continents and have recently recorded an album with Ross McGowan (United Fruit, Danananackroyd) which was mastered by Carl Saff in Chicago (Om, Grails, Young Widows). The album "Harbour of Devils" is out now on Field Records.

"Primarily focused on intensely wrought musicianship- with a few uplifting turns thrown in to lighten the load- and with plans for a full length later this year, WTBR are exciting prospects."
FAYE LEWIS, ROCKSOUND

"Heavier than an anvil shower."

TACOMA NARROWS BRIDGE DISASTER

Progressive band gathering influences from metal, rock, post rock and shoegaze to create a rich collection of strong songs, some riff-led, some ambient, all never failing to capture the imagination. Their album 'Exegesis' is phenomenal.

"Copious amounts of attitude that resonates musically" - Sea Of Tranquility

"A cut above the other post-it note acts I've reviewed" - Metal Storm

"Real presence, soaring tunes and pinpoint accuracy" - 11islouderthan10

LOST IN THE RIOTS

Lost in the Riots are a four-piece post rock outfit fighting their way out of Watford, UK since 2010. Taking a different approach to the town's hardcore roots, the quartet serve up an energetic, guitar-driven mammoth of quiet-loud dynamics.

"Strong. Compelling and Charming. A stand out post-rock outfit."
Circuit Sweet

"One thing that stands out about this math-rock outfit is their abundance of energy. Fans of And So I Watch You From Afar would not be disappointed."
