BANGFACE - Neo-Rave Weekenders, Parties & Adventures :)

Solo artist from Nottingham, England. I make ska/punk grunge type stuff (skgrunk I call it!) Some of the tracks are remakes of tracks from old bands I've been in, various collabs and stuff I've written on my own. Plenty more planned over the coming weeks/months so please keep an eye on my Soundcloud if you like what you here, there will be plenty more coming soon. I'm also always looking for new people to jam or collaborate with so hit me up if interested. I drum, sing, play trumpet and the other sounds are made with my keyboard and effects in Logic. Favourite bands/ influences range from Voodoo Glow Skulls, The Vandals, Reel Big Fish and old skool Chili Peppers right through to the likes of Pavement, Nirvana and Bentley Rhythm Ace. Currently unsigned, am looking for a new label to release stuff on ;)

*** Historical background ***
In 1991 RePhleX records introduced the concept of 'Braindance' to label the music they release.
Often people equate Braindance and IDM. That is completely wrong. Braindance is More than IDM.
IDM is a style of electronic music, and Braindance isn't one.
Braindance is NOT a limp and lifeless set of sounds like 97% of everything that industry produces. It is the Music! A sound that contains feelings, emotions and inspiration!

Here is the text posted on the Rephlex website in the 90's:
"braindance is the genre that encompasses the best elements of all genres, e.g traditional, classical, electronic music, popular, modern, industrial, ambient, hip hop, electro, house, techno, breakbeat, hardcore, ragga, garage, drum and bass, etc.

BRAINDANCE is...
extraordinary!
fulfilling!
entertaining!
open-minded!
original!
creative!
unpredictable!
sincere!
influential!
highly-acclaimed!
BRAINDANCE is...
unique : )"

And here is the later version:
"braindance is... incredible!
braindance is... boundless; eclectic; entertaining; rephreshing; fulfilling; wholehearted; sensual;
stimulating; bold; unconventional; real; imaginary; visionary; essential; debonair...
braindance is unique!"
