New Band of the Week - 23/02/12 - Bronto Skylift

We featured these noisy Scots on our last podcast, but they deserve another mention here. The two-man, guitar and drums, set-up is reminiscent of That Fucking Tank, as are the propulsive rhythms and ten-tonne riffs.


Bronto Skylift are their own men, though, and bring in elements of metal with disorientating shifts of tempo and time signature that keep you guessing and in suspense for the next massive groove to kick in.


The band are currently looking for shows in Manchester and London in March 2012. Promoters, if you've got anything, book 'em up and let us know so we can come down and party.


In the meantime, enjoy the swaggering, half-time middle eight of new song Tiger:

Bilge Pump for Fortissimo

This Fortissimo Records 10th Anniversary show gets better and better. We are excited to announce the addition of Bilge Pump to the lineup.

Like SNH faves That Fucking Tank, Bilge Pump are from Leeds and release on Gringo Records. They also share Tank’s love for seriously heavy riffs and distorted grooves. Where the band come into their own is in the stunning blend of red-in-tooth-and-claw hardcore and surging, unpredictable math-rock. Shellac come close at times, but Bilge Pump have a wild energy that makes a live show a thrilling prospect.

With Bilge Pump sharing the bill with one of the UK’s other most exciting live bands, Action Beat, you’re in for a treat.
