Event information

“Holy Scum”. Say it out loud. It’s a name that can’t help but be spat out viciously; a snarling exclamative that fits the bludgeoning sludge and feedback drenched improv rock that its progenitors unleash. Equally informed by sludge noise, shoegaze and dub, the result is an assault of psychedelic, mind melting riffs and swirling tornados of delay. Holy Scum has
made waves at major festivals like Le Guess Who? and Roadburn, cementing their place in the heavy music scene.
Featuring members of Dälek, Gnod, Action Beat, Shuck, Destructo Swarmbots.
This is going to be highly intense and very special!

Casing is the visceral, caustic brainchild of Alec Tullio (vocals, drums). Joined by Dom Stevenson on world-eating sludge bass, and Oliver Dunk on strafing, abrasive noise and backing vocals, their combined sound is heavier and vaster than bands with twice the personnel. Grinding, crawling riffs give way to blasts of speed-addled raw punk mania. The proverbial face is very much torn off and trodden on.

DEADPOP is the creation of Sam Mathys and Paul Antony (GHOLD, BRUXA MARIA, TEST DEPARTMENT). Their debut record 'OHM',produced by Wayne Adams' production (PETBRICK / BIG LAD) and masteried by Jon Hamilton (PART CHIMP) is an absolute edifice of twisted riffs and harrowing vocals, by turns raging, absurd and harrowing, but peppered with a surreal sense of humour. Their in-your-face live show is gonna tear the place down.
