Threads
Leeds heavy rock outlaws return to bring the holy riff back to Glasgow. Featuring ex-members of Khang, Baby Harp Seal, Month of Birthdays and the million bands Sned has been in, Threads deliver righteous riffs aplenty - think Purple, Sabbath and Zepplin with the flab trimmed off.

Instrumental stoner doom from Dublin featuring members of Knifed and Easpa Measa. Slow, heavy and striken with drug-induced paranoia, like all good music should be!

Crushing sludgecore from Brighton in the vein of Man is the Bastard, Swans and other such masters of misery. And as an added bonus, the bringers of this ungodly noise feature Dan of ex-Cat on Form fame among their number.

A short, sharp shock from Glasgow/Perth. Black Channels features folk from Allergo and Mesa Verde, and churn out some awesome chaotic hardcore that's somewhere between Ampere and Louis Cyphre.
