Expo '70

EXPO '70 was formed in Los Angeles by Justin Wright as a side-project, while he was playing guitar in Living Science Foundation (Second Nature Recordings; GSL50 Compilation). Initially, the group also included Wright's friend, PK . The pair improvised creating sounds bouncing effect-ridden instruments creating a wide range of textures and moods. EXPO '70's first recording and inception was during PK's project SXBRS recording session, resulting in one of many split releases on PKs' label.

Handsome Bastards

Handsome Bastards is both the band name and a statement of FACT. Featuring ex-members of Lincolnshire's SHURIKEN and East Midlands' BLACK JACK KETCHUM, they want to rip your ears off and fill the holes with ROCK N ROLL. 2012 might be the Year of the Bastard. Or maybe 2013. Influences vary wildly from Sonic Youth and Godflesh to A and Miocene, with a bit of Roxy Music and King Crimson thrown in for good measure, but it all combines into some sort of post-hardcore electrorock musical bomb, some how. It's glorious, whatever it is.

Wolf & Cub

Wolf & Cub are an alternative rock band from Adelaide, Australia that formed in 2002. Three of the original members hail from Port Augusta, South Australia. Their music is predominantly psychedelic with elements of funk. The four-piece are signed to legendary record label 4AD. An interesting aspect of the band's music and aesthetic is their use of two drummers. This allows the percussive elements of their music to feature more prominently alongside the guitar.
