Transition State is a hard hitting industrial-core band beginning in the heart of the Midlands. With combining elements of Industrial, Thrash & Metalcore.
Formed in the summer of 2014, Face Down is a new project band hoping to bring out a new genre of music to the masses of music fans not only across the UK, but across the world. Combining elements of Industrial bands such as Rammstein & Nine Inch Nails, Thrash style riffs and drumming like Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer, and synth lines like Nine Inch Nails, and hard hitting vocals, we hope to break out something new and unheard.

Five souls who, in the studio and on the stage have a wordless chemistry that provides escape, catharsis and the release of making music and creating... for the love of it. Not for genre labels, kudos or credibility, because ultimately all that matters in Pearl Handled Revolver happens in the moment.

Sometimes the result is Heavy Rock, sometimes Jazz rears its head and the spectre of Funk and RnB loom large; the exploratory spirit of Psyche and Prog always hangs heavy, allowing the band to fly just as the Blues roots them and marks the grain of their fingerprints. The only expectation with any weight is that, once together, time gives way to music.

In 16 years Pearl Handled Revolver have created 5 self-produced studio albums, 2 live albums, 4 EPs, a retrospective collection. Through countless shows and hours rehearsing and recording. Sharing ideas, chatting and laughing in the studio, births, marriages, separation and deaths. On the road there have been service stations, coffee good and appalling, dressing rooms, hotels, hostels, sofas, floors and caravans. All memories and inspiration for whatever comes next... And there will always be more.

"Tales You Lose is more than just a collection of songs—it’s an immersive, atmospheric journey. The band’s ability to blend brooding rock, soulful blues, and haunting psychedelia makes this album an unmistakable triumph. Each track carries emotional weight and sonic depth, with powerful vocals, swirling keys, and evocative guitar work creating a cinematic experience."

"Tales You Lose is a true masterpiece, a heartfelt homage to Rock ‘N’ Roll at its finest. They’ve seamlessly blended Rock, Blues, Prog, and Jazz into a sound that hits every note just right, and I’m all for it. This is a release you DO NOT want to miss, and trust me, that’s coming from someone who thrives on artists that scream into my ears 24/7!"
10/10 - Novacaine

"Each of the tracks making up the album are strong in their own right but that being said, this isn’t just a collection of songs, they’re best appreciated as a piece. In fact, despite the thoroughly electric nature of the music, organic might be a good way to describe a lot of what’s going on here. It feels natural and real, free of artifice. The whole album is greater than the sum of its parts."
