STANCHIONS

This is the record release show for Stanchions debut EP 'Roamer'

https://wearestanchions.bandcamp.com/album/roamer

Born out of the ashes of various Bristol-based noisy projects, such as Brasher and Dogfight and hot off the back of their debut release 'Roamer' Stanchions have found their strength in unifying distorted angular rhythms with emotionally evocative melodies. Stanchions shine a heavy light onto the vast post-rock landscape. Mathy Post-Hardcore with a melodic streak.

BETTER THAN MENDING

Better Than Mending are a cathartic doom-laced post-hardcore band based around the UK. Their unique style combines aggressive, jagged riffs with powerfully emotive soundscapes, all with a crushingly heavy density. Their music immediately captures you with a gut-punch of brutality, creating a visceral experience when combined with reverb-drenched sonic landscapes and cathartic releases. Their music takes you on a journey, the band’s performance capturing attention from first note to last. The band have released 3 EP’s to date, with their latest ‘Spineless’ being dropped in 2021. Rob, Gwion and James blew us away with their tracks ‘When Forced to Concede’ and ‘Comfort My Memory’. (Write up taken from the Woodbox YouTube session - linked below)

IRAN IRAN

Iran Iran were formed in the DIY UK math scene of the 2010’s that would go on to birth Arctangent. Over the years and through several line up changes Iran Iran have moved from frenetic noise rock to ever lower tuned post metal. Their latest release “Previously, on Iran Iran” heralds the change, with enormous stoner riffs and noise freak outs bleeding into post-rock ambience, all built upon their signature obsession with compound time signatures and polyrhythmic disturbances.

METROPOLIS MUSIC PRESENTS

Growing up in the fens of Lincolnshire before moving to Yorkshire to study Medieval

Literature, Elanor Moss is one of Britain’s most exciting emerging songwriters. After a

period quietly working on her own music while writing and collaborating with artists

including Benjamin Francis Leftwich, The Howl & The Hum, Memorial and Rosie Carney,

Moss decided it was at last time to share her indie-tinged and remarkable music with the

world.

Her music found its way to Blue Raincoat Music (Phoebe Bridgers, Christian Lee Hutson, Arlo

Parks) who quickly began working with Moss on her debut EP ‘Citrus’. Following the release

of ‘Citrus’ in spring 2022, Moss has found herself championed and playlisted across BBC 6

Music, on tour opening for artists like Christian Lee Hutson, Benjamin Francis Leftwich and

Cassandra Jenkins and performing on the stages of festivals including Green Man, Deer

Shed, How The Light Gets In, Gold Sounds, Pitchfork London & Mutations. Her second EP

‘Cosmic’ will be released in Feb 2023. Yorkshire songwriter Elanor Moss has a stark subtlety that bowls you over in its intensity. -Clash
