GIRLS IN SYNTHESIS

Available for bookings in: NL

Formed in late 2016, London-based post-punk trio Girls In Synthesis’ DIY attitude and caustic music has singled them out as one of the most intense and unique outfits in the UK. Taking their cues from legendary 1970’s UK acts such as Wire, Crass and Public Image Limited, their relentless rhythmical elements owe as much to disco and dub reggae. The band have built up a fevered fan base across the UK, with a reputation as an extraordinary live band; breaking down the musician/audience barrier by dragging equipment off the stage and playing large chunks of the shows from within the crowd. They soon became an in-demand support act for bands as disparate as Slaves, Bad Breeding, Wolf Alice, Damo Suzuki, Warmduscher and Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs.

After their self released single ‘The Mound/Disappear’ in 2016, they released three rare and sought after vinyl E.P’s on the experimental London label Blank Editions throughout 2017-2018. A compilation of these releases, ‘Pre/Post: A Collection 2016-2018’, arrived at the start of 2019 on Louder Than War, becoming the labels fastest selling release. Singles ‘Arterial Movements’ and ‘Pressure’ followed at the end of 2019 with ‘The Images Agree’ and ‘They’re Not Listening’ arriving as lead singles from the critically acclaimed debut album ‘Now Here’s An Echo From Your Future’, released in August 2020. The 5 track mini album, ‘Shift In State’, was released in June 2021 as part of Record Store Day and bought fractured electronics and experimental, spatial sonics into the mix. The stand-alone single ‘Pulling Teeth’ appeared on the 5th November ‘21; a nine minute opus taking in post-punk, electronic and disco influences. The follow up to their debut album is scheduled for release at the end of 2022.

EL SHIROTA

After its foundation in 2012, the band debuted in 2013 with Chiluca No Es Satélite EP. Prior to the release of their first full-length material Tiempos Raros (Devil In The Woods, 2020), the band self released two EPs and later the singles Tarde/Temprano and Carreta Furacão, which was voted number 1 favorite song in Reactor 105.7, Mexico’s most prominent alternative rock station, in 2019 and also appeared on the Amazon Prime series Chivas as part of the official soundtrack in 2020. The single La Ciudad from the debut album Tiempos Raros appears in the official soundtrack for 2021’s highly successful video game Forza Horizon 5. In 2022 the Mexican quartet released Niebla EP on 7” vinyl via Devil In The Woods. The EP highlights the participation of Alonso Salamanca (former bassist of the band) in Tibio ft. Alo, the B-side of the album and the band’s first exploration between electronic music and its already characteristic Noise Rock/Post-Hardcore sound. Their most recent release is ‘Influyente’, the first single off their next upcoming full length album in Q2 2023. The outfit has toured across Mexico and the United States in many occasions, the most recent was their Fall US Tour 2022, around the west coast and midwest, through cities such as San Diego, Los Angeles (in support of Melvins), Chicago, Seattle (Freakout Fest), Portland, Salt Lake City, Boise (in support of Cloakroom), Reno, Olympia, Kansas City and more. In 2023 El Shirota will be promoting their upcoming second album with tours across Mexico, US and Europe. Currently, they’re part of the lineup for The World Is A Vampire Fest in Foro Sol, Mexico City, playing alongside bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Turnstile, Deafheaven and Chelsea Wolfe.

THE THIRD SOUND

Available for bookings in: EU

Dealing in a hypnotic blend of neo-psychedelia, post-punk and new wave, The Third Sound is a Berlin-based band led by the Icelandic musician Hákon Aðalsteinsson, who is the guitarist in Brian Jonestown Massacre and formerly played in the cult rock’n’roll outfit Singapore Sling. A mainstay of the European psych underground in his own right, not just through his collaborations with the likes of Anton Newcombe and Tess Parks, The Third Sound has been Hakon’s primary solo endeavour since the release of his self-titled debut on Newcombe’s A Recordings a decade ago.

Arriving following 2018’s ‘All Tomorrow’s Shadows’ LP, ‘First Light’ marks an evolution into a brighter and at times uplifting sound. Marrying moments of light and dark, the result is The Third Sound’s most dynamic full-length to date. Talking about the album, Hakon said: “This album is definitely less gloomy than the previous one, although some ghosts from the past are lurking in the background.

We always try to make something new on each album and never make the same album over again, but this feels like an even bigger change than usual, especially regarding the mood. Something new is beginning although the past is not forgotten. I think the title, First Light, describes the overall feel of the record pretty well.” Opening track ‘Tidal Wave’ introduces the record perfectly with a shimmering piece of shoegaze-inflected psychedelia that sounds like a long-lost Creation Records classic just before the Es hit the scene: “It has a mix of programed and real drums which resulted in a more upbeat and groove-focussed approach and talks about something awakening. It sets the tone for the album I think.” ‘Your Love Is Evol’ appears to follow a similar path but soon breaks down into something more cacophonous: whilst the infectious bassline rumbles away beneath Doorsian organs, things soon dissolve into distorted wall-of-noise guitars.
