Sonic Jesus is an Italian band born in Doganella di Ninfa, ia currently Tiziano Veronese's musical project. Since their debut, they have been acclaimed internationally, thanks to the release of their first EP, "Sonic Jesus," on Fuzz Club Records. In 2012, they shared a split titled "Split Single N°5" with the Black Angels. In 2015, they released a limited edition 7" vinyl containing a remix by Sonic Boom aka Pete Kember of the legendary Spacemen 3 and Spectrum.

Also in 2015, they released a double album titled "Neither Virtue Nor Anger" on Fuzz Club Records, which became the manifesto that crowned the band among the most acclaimed Italian and European psychedelic realities.

In 2017, they released "Grace," another album produced by Fuzz Club Records. It marked a reduction in the neo -psychedelic frequencies of their earlier work in favor of a newfound pop-wave sensitivity. Their latest work by Tiziano Veronese dates back to 2018: "Memories," a self-produced album of old demos found. Over the years, the band has performed live throughout Europe, sharing the stage with artists such as Jesus & Mary Chain, Damo Suzuki (CAN), A Place To Bury Strangers,Wire, and Dead Skeletons.

2023 is the year of Anxieties a single that anticipates the release of the new album that will be presented in London on a date still secret.

This will be followed by a long European tour also in October in countries like England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Holland and Belgium. A new album is on its way soon!

Milan/London experimental band Throw Down Bones returned with their new album ‘Three’ on February 24th 2023. A towering body of work that feels both apocalyptic and jubilant, ‘Three’ is Throw Down Bones’ eagerly-awaited return following 2018’s ‘Two’ and the tragic passing of founding member Dave Cocks in a motorcycle accident in 2019. Choosing to continue the band in honour of Cocks, in February 2020, surviving co-founder Francesco Vanni returned toLondon’s New River Studios with long-term collaborator and producer James Aparicio (Spiritualized, Nick Cave) and a new band in tow, made up of bassist Marion Andrau and drummer Raphael Mura.

Working in the studio with the new band for the first time, severalhours of improvised recordings were captured over the course of those early New River sessions, which were then expanded and pieced together between Aparicio in London and Vanni in Milan.

Ready to lacerate eardrums and live and on record and send into a trance once more, the result is a 9-track album spanning feedback-blasted industrial psychedelia, heavy electronics, krautrockand dark ambient. Overcoming huge psychological and practical difficulties, ‘Three’ is a powerful and moving record in more ways than one - a post-industrial triumph that’s at once hedonistic, cathartic and poignant. Every single note in the album is dedicated tofounding member and brother Dave Cocks.

𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻 (𝗨𝗞 / 𝗙𝘂𝘇𝘇 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯):

Helicon was formed in 2011 by brothers John-Paul and Gary Hughes in East Kilbride, Glasgow. Bored by the mundane, mediocrity of mainstream music; rather than moan about it, they did something about it.

“Channeling the cosmic noise of their Scottish homeland and sitar-led,

opium-tainted sounds of India with the neo-psychedelic swoons of 90s

San Francisco - Fuzz Club”. Helicon has released 3 x singles, 9 x EPs,

3 x studio albums and 1 x Fuzz Club live session album.

‘God Intentions’, their third studio album, will be released on Fuzz

Club in April 2023. The singles have been playlisted by BBC Radio 6

Music and the legendary KEXP in Seattle, USA. Their most ambitious,

collaborative and psychedelic record to date. Mastered by Mark

Gardener (RIDE), collaborators include Lavinia Blackwall, a string

quartet, French avant-garde violinist Sotho Houle and more. A full

European tour is scheduled for October 2023. Helicon signed to Fuzz Club in 2017. Their self-titled debut album was recorded and produced by Tony Doogan at Mogwai's Castle of Doom studio in Glasgow. More recently they collaborated with Will Carruthers (ex-Spacemen 3 , The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spiritualized, DeadSkeletons) for the hilariously profound, mind-melting single 'I'm MoreEnglish Than You, You C\*nt!'

“Helicon have become a mythical force in the UK underground over the

last 10 years.”

Shindig! Magazine

“Wow! Thoroughly enjoyable that”

Gideon Coe, BBC Radio 6 Music

“A mythical force in the UK underground... Helicon promise to expand

minds and shatter imaginations.” Clash Magazine

“Sprawling and expansive Eastern-influenced psych-rock.” The Skinny

“Helicon pile on layers of fuzz, delay and reverb to create an intoxicating, pulsating stew.” Shindig

“Absolutely mesmerising.” Louder Than War

“Helicon show that musical borders are there to be broken... A force to be reckoned with.” Gigwise

(Space Jam/Krautrock)

Acid Rooster blast off into space like a textbook sonic joyride straight out of Alan Freeman’s The Crack in the Cosmic Egg. With a sound evoking the spirit of German kraut and psych rock pioneers, the instrumental tracks on their partially written and improvised albums often oscillate between slow-burning, spaced out jams and mind-bending climaxes that have earned them a stellar reputation for their captivating live shows.

Praised by critics for the soaring cosmic drone-riffs and monolithic rhythm sections on their self-titled debut Acid Rooster (2019), the band soon got invited to a string of shows and appearances at renown festivals such as LeGuessWho?, Off the Radar and Roadburn where theyshared a stage with national and international bands such as Kikagaku Moyo, Acid Mothers Temple or Föllakzoid.

Jam-packed with an equally hypnotic and foot-tapping intensity, their second EP Irrlichter (2021) was followed by the release of their “kosmische” live album Ad Astra (2022) later this year. Their muchanticipated new studio album Flowers and Dead Souls will be released in August 2023. https://acidrooster.bandcamp.com

GNOB came to light in late 2014. Based in and around East London, they soon realized their mix of Eastern/Arabic and Heavy Psych made their live shows colourful amongst the harsh grey landscapes which surrounded them.

From warehouse to warehouse, GNOB became what it is today. Live shows are proving to be their acid test where warm fuzz, swirling phasers and time-shifting delay have seen them gig extensively around the UK.

Having been formed in 2022, Dutch four-piece band PNEM unveiled the first chapter of a two-part homage to the systems that keep our day-night cycles in check, 'Circadian Rhythms'.

Last spring, the part krautrock, part psychedelic assemble have launched their exploration's second chapter, 'Public Spaces'. In it, the group expands upon their cosmic mission, which they are now bringing to the stage for some post-lockdown, fuzz-infused live shows.

More recently the band released their EP “FM/AM” on digital and cassette formats featuring a renewed focus on entrancing rhythms and lush soundscapes.

With a carefully calculated pulse, PNEM is continuously inspired by the monotonous howl of industrial machinery.

The Glass Key is an instrumental duo based in London.

It is Andrea Giommi and Nicola Lombardi. Nicola and Andrea have been jamming in London for a few years, combining heavy electronic rhythms with layers of guitars and synth riffs. The result is devilish instrumental music that reflects the different approaches and personalities of the two musicians.

The band now performs live as a duo or as a trio with the inclusion of the incredible Frank Byng on drums (Snorkel, This is not this heat, Crackle, owner of Slowfoot Records). For this special London show the band will be joined on stage by the incredible Agathe Max on violin.

Having debuted live in November 2021, The Glass Key have played a string of shows in the UK and in Italy, supporting their first EP ‘Sleepwalking Home’, out on Coypu Records.

Melodic outbursts, kraut psych-structures, techno explosions, their live set is a joyful alternation of hot vibes and psychedelic patterns!
