Dual-bass-led noise-pop terrorists EXIT_INTERNATIONAL (E_I) unleashed the follow-up to 2011's critically acclaimed, Welsh Music Prize-nominated 'Black Junk' in March 2014. For this album, the band decided to free themselves of label ties, and 'OUR SCIENCE IS GOLDEN' was recorded with funding from the PledgeMusic direct-to-fan platform, powered by E_I's rabid, culty, global fan base (search for 'EXIT_INTERNATIONAL ARE WANKERS'). E_I reached their target funding for the project in just over an hour, and the following week they recorded Our Science Is Golden in just five days. It was tracked at Monnow Valley Studio in South Wales, with long-time friend Todd Campbell, while The Pixies recorded their new material a few miles down the road – that's one for the fact-fans.

Expanding on the scuzzy, schizo blueprint of the band's debut LP, 'OSIG' sees the band pushing away in every direction. It might sound like a sophomore album cliché to say that when it’s “popper (the band's favourite new material-describing adjective), heavier, darker and more melodic than before, it's WAAAAAAY popper, heavier, darker and more melodic than before” – but it’s true. Whether it’s the scene-setting pop nail bomb 'Weird Card', the feedback-drenched grunge-punk of 'Black Jesus (Pink Pound)’, the hip-swinging sex-swagger of the title track or the chaotic ad-libbed 'Juvenile Pacemaker', 'OSIG' is the sound of a band raising the bar.

When Exit_International formed in 2009, the rock press heralded them as ‘ones to watch’, and tours followed with Ginger Wildheart, Baby Godzilla, Monster Magnet and Castrovalva, along with hand-picked dates with Kids In Glass Houses, Pulled Apart By Horses and The Bronx. And that’s not to mention appearances on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading & Leeds, Gloucestershire’s 2000trees, GuilFest, Cornwall’s Leopallooza, Merthyr Rock, as well as sessions recorded for BBC Introducing.

E_I’s reputation also spread far and wide when their paean to self-love, 'Chainsaw Song', was picked up by BBC Radio 1 for a week of prime-time airplay from the likes of Fearne Cotton and Greg James. Then they gained even more attention when they nabbed the Band Of The Year 2013 accolade at the Pure Rawk Awards last February, when “Who the fuck are they?” was the most-asked question of the evening. E_I were once again nominated in this year’s PRA's, for Release Artwork Of The Year (album/EP/single) for ‘Our Science Is Golden’, Bassist Of The Year for Fudge Wilson, and finally Band Of The Year.

Hey! We're a 3-piece band from Worcester, UK. 
Loud guitars, dirty bass, and heavy drums.
We're currently recording our EP, which is due for release in 2016.


For a band built around the idea of slacker syntax, Bad Grammar rock a tight set. Following in the footsteps of their northern pioneers before them, Bad Grammar channel the same grunge snarls as Pulled Apart By Horses and Drenge.

Debut EP ‘Forced Fun’ fell into the hands of party punk king Andrew WK, who selected the band to perform as part of 2014’s Y Not Festival. With lead single ‘Temper Temper’ clocking over 25,000 Vevo views, it’s not surprising the pair have already picked up coverage from XFM, 6Music and Radio 1, along with recent new music features in NME, Clash and Artrocker. 

Kicking out witty commentary on metabolism breakdowns and pop culture 101, Bad Grammar are top of the class.

“A blend of grunge and punk reminiscent of Fugazi and Shellac that puts many of the current wave of musical duos to shame" - The Ruckus

"Guaranteed to get the music-bods talking with their gloriously grimy racket" - The Tipping Point

Formed in 2007, Dinosaur Pile-Up are an English alternative rock band who broke out of the thriving Leeds rock scene of the time and instantly drew favourable comparisons to the cream of 90s US college rock. Founded originally as a solo project by songwriter and frontman Matt Bigland, the line up is completed by drummer Mike Sheils and bassist Jim Cratchley. Named after Matt saw the scene in Peter Jackson’s remake of King Kong where a stampede of dinosaurs pile up at the foot of a mountain, “DPU” put out their first official release, The Most Powerful E.P In The Universe, in 2009 and have gone on to record two studio albums, 2010’s Growing Pains and 2013’s Nature Nurture. 

The project was initially a handful of demos that Bigland had recorded on an 8-track recorder in his basement and at Leeds' Brudenell Social Club, performing and recording the drums, guitars, bass and vocals himself. These demos were hosted on a Myspace profile named 'Dinosaur Pile-Up' and quickly gained interest from the local scene and soon the UK music press. Due to offers for shows Bigland enlisted the help of friends in a 'revolving door' policy and began touring in late 2007. Since then DPU have toured extensively through the UK, Europe and the USA supporting acts such as Pixies, Cage The Elephant, Feeder, Twin Atlantic, You Me At Six and Middle Class Rut. In 2010 Mike Sheils officially joined DPU on drums, after meeting Matt on tour and famously bonding over Weezer's blue album. In late 2013 long standing friend Jim Cratchley officially joined DPU on bass after his previous band Tribes disbanded.

Speaking of the band’s first EP, which was initially recorded as an experiment, Bigland said "I wanted to go into a studio and see if I could record something that actually sounded like an album, and not just some sh**ty 8-track demo's I'd recorded in my basement. I knew how I worked best and what I wanted to create, but I didn't know if I was competent enough to record an entire album, so I used recording the E.P as kind of an experiment and didn't take it too seriously, thus the stupid name." Upon successful recording and release of the 'Most Powerful E.P...' recorded with local Leeds producer James Kenosha, Bigland went in to the studio again to record DPU's debut full length album "Growing Pains", again performing all instruments and vocals himself and again produced by James Kenosha. Growing Pains was recorded over a period of a month and a half and upon its release in October 2010 received widespread critical acclaim and radio support including UK Radio 1 taste maker Zane Lowe who has continued to support the band ever since. Between 2011 and 2013 DPU toured extensively in the UK and Europe, taking in many festivals including Leeds and Reading Festival, Oxygen Festival and T In The Park. After two years solid touring Bigland went in to studio again, this time with producers Ian Davenport and Tom Dalgety to record DPU's second full length album. Again Bigland recorded all the instruments himself split between Rockfield Studios in Wales and Courtyard Studios in Oxford. The album took two months to record but what he emerged with was one of the brightest, most bruising rock records of 2013 “Nature Nurture” which was described by Zane Lowe on its release as “Nature, nurture, two of the greatest words in existence, now neatly compacted together for an album that could be one of the greatest albums ever in existence”.

Nature Nurture proved to be the band’s first inroad into the American market where their sound proved to be a perfect fit for US radio on its release in early 2014, leading to several tours including their biggest to date supporting Brand New.  With the album set to be released in Japan and the Far-East in 2014, world domination is still on the cards.
