BBC 6 Music Round Table winners and former members of Norwich art-rock/indie-pop outfit Bearsuit.

Mega Emotion are the robe-wearing cult that build dense layers of sound looping both live and electronic drums against synths and scuzzy guitars. 

They have won Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable on BBC 6 Music, seen their demo material play-listed as a 6 Music Recommends track of the week, and been championed on XFM and by BBC Introducing.

Live, they have played for John Kennedy’s Remedy showcase in London, and supported the likes of Acid Mothers Temple, Shonen Knife, Melt Banana, Thumpers, Lonelady and Yuck.

Their debut single Uncomfortable was released on cassette by Post/Pop Records – who have released cassette tracks by Everything Everything, Pulled Apart By Horses, Ash, Johnny Foreigner and We Are Scientists.

Their split debut vinyl album 'Move Motherf*cker' (with their grunge alter-egos Lady Di) is scheduled to come out this summer. 

"Death Star dance action" - Steve Lamacq

"Underground-mainstream indie-synth-pop... Human League goes lo-fi" - Electronic Sound

“Part Pixies noise-fest, part 80s synth sunset. I fucking love this song. It makes me want to rip out my shitty broken spine and flop around on a dance floor having fun.”
The 405 (single of the week)
 
“Mega Emotion aren’t your standard synth-pop proposition. They may weave webs of slick electro beats that nod out to Blondie, but they also have a thing for excessive layers of noise.”
The Fly (names to watch)
 
“A tasty jellybean of guitar embellished, smart electro pop”
The Music Fix (single of the week)
 
“Sounds like: A mad genetic experiment between Casiokids and Blondie.”
Click Music (track of the day)

Whetstone - a joint effort from guitarists Amy Jeffery and Jamie Hopman, bassist Steve Thomson, drummer John Gaughran and vocalist Fred Armstrong.

The band collectively falls into the genre of Hard Rock, playing covered music by the likes of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.
They work hard every week in the studio writing new original music, and aim to gig as often as possible, supporting local bands and slowly raising their name through the local ranks.
Each member has been influenced musically by a different band and genre, be it Amy's love for Joan Jett, Steves loyalty to Iron Maiden or Fred's interest in Ronnie James Dio,
they come together to produce music collectively and collaboratively.

Praise for new album 'Elytral':

"Epworth cements her reputation for fearless experimentalism" The Sunday Times

"A brooding and brilliant record" ★★★★ Q

"Big, brave and laudably odd" ★★★★ Mojo

"Fearless and immersive” ★★★★ Shindig

"Epworth continues to push the boundaries of her psychedelic electronic pop" 8/10 DJ Mag

"A delightful exploratory freedom, as seen in the analogue ambience of 'Surprise Yourself': "No judgement, no fear" The Observer

"Right from the get-go, Mary Epworth's second album announces itself as both confident and unpredictable . . . It makes for a thrilling experience” Prog Magazine

"A complicated, uncompromising affair informed by the unique vision of its creator" Electronic Sound

“No album this year is going to start more excitingly than Mary Epworth’s” Stuart Maconie 

“The vastness of her sound makes it an engulfing listen from the very beginning.” Aesthetica

Mary Epworth’s much-anticipated second album, 'Elytral', was released on 1st September 2017 and sees the British musician arriving with greater ferocity and a letting loose of her darker instincts through grinding, splintered soundscapes. Produced by Thom Monahan at his Golden Void studio in LA, the album encompasses electronic experimentalism, prog, psychedelia, free-jazz and more.

The first single from the new album, ‘Me Swimming’, has been enjoying a great deal of radio play and is a high-pop moment on a record that leans more to the dark and experimental. Recently named by Sunday Times Culture as their Hottest Track, they said of ‘Me Swimming’ “Shades of Visage and Stereolab here – a radical gearshift”, and NME picked up on the “Swirling, swooning synths”, naming it one of their Best New Tracks. 

Debut album, Dream Life, saw much praise from press and radio, and lead to four singles playlisted at BBC 6 Music, ‘Black Doe’ picked as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record In The World, and Mary and her band performing sold-out headline shows and playing many festivals. Mary’s career has also taken an unexpected detour with the hit US podcast Welcome to Night Vale and its dystopian psychological-horror spin-off Within the Wires. She composed the music for the latter and joined the Night Vale team on their hugely successful live tours across the US and Europe.

For Mary Epworth, the creation of a new album has been about innovation and experimentation, as well as a steadfast refusal to dilute her ideas. Elytral marks the start of a new phase - bold and overflowing with possibility.
