COSMIC CARNAGE and SONIC GRAVE present SMASH IT OUT IV (again again….) all dayer:
SLABDRAGGER
It’s been a hell of a long time coming, but Croydon’s comic book stoner doom legends are finally set to destroy Cosmic Carnage. Y’know that issue of 2000AD where Judge Dredd does nothing but listen to Dopesmoker? Yeah, they’re the sonic equivalent of that.

CATTLE
Two drummers and one bassist playing boulderous yet eminently danceable noise-rock and a vocalist whose demonic caterwauls sound like Damo Suzuki pouring vinegar into his open wounds. Latest LP, Nature’s Champion is your record of the year.

SLUDGEFEAST Self-styled ‘shit-rock’ champions joining us all the way from Singapore! RIYL: Break-neck, garage rock micro-songs about 8-bit computer games no one remembers anymore. Trust us, you’ve never witnessed anything quite like Sludgefeast

CIVIL ELEGIES
Blood curdling, hardcore influenced noise rock from north of the border. Imagine if Converge and Hey Colossus sat up all night drinking Buckfast and punching holes in the wall… Also they cover Queen in a way you seriously won’t believe.

DRORE
Former members of much-missed slow-core doom outfit Undersmile now playing what can only be described as ‘acid-doom’, if that’s even a thing?.... Yeah, that’s definitely a thing.

DKH
Skin-peeling, sulphurous hardcore punk played exactly the way it ought to be…. That is to say with all the grace and precision of someone crushing a can of cider with your face.

JØTNARR
East Anglian black metal heroes and one of our absolute favourite bands. Furious and shrill rural black metal that sounds something like Dark Throne covering Mastodon in a dustbin.

MUMMISE GUNS
Debut gig for this anarchic dirge crew featuring past and present members of Luminous Bodies, Part Chimp, Casual Nun, Dethscalator, Pigs x7 and Ghold. And if that’s not enough to make you want check this lot out there’s probably something very wrong with you indeed.

BO GRITZ
Psychedelic, Day-Glo garage rock played by one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands in London right now. RIYL: Strung-out yet booty-shaking riffs and using MDMA as toothpaste.

Bo Gritz
London trio play noisey guitar music of no specific genre drawing influence from Sonic Youth, Scratch Acid, Joy Division, Swans, Fat White Family, Hookworms, Pavement and the Velvet Underground, to name but a few.
