Evans the Death, Tyrannosaurus Dead, Gum, The Hundredth Anniversary | Music News

Posted on by

Evans the Death, Tyrannosaurus Dead, Gum and The Hundredth Anniversary are all on the release of

GUTS on – a split tape via Reeks Of Effort that will feature Tyrannosaurus Dead, GUM

and The Hundredth Anniversary. The release will also be marked by gigs in Brighton and

Cardiff.

 

The release is now streaming and available for pre-order at:http://reeksofeffort.bandcamp.com/album/guts-2

Evans the Death are special guest headliners for the gig. They released their self-titled

debut album in April this year to widespread critical acclaim.

 

Evans the Death make frenetic and infectious punk pop which exudes the kind of unbridled

charisma, intelligence, and runaway energy that promises a singularly exciting future for the

band. Comprising Dan Moss (guitar, vocals), Lan McArdle (bass), Katherine Whitaker (vocals,

keys), Rob Mitson (drums), and Olly Moss (guitar), and named after the undertaker in Dylan

Thomas’s Under Milk Wood, Evans the Death are poised to fulfill their potential as one of the

most refreshing and exhilarating new groups around.

 

Brighton-based Tyrannosaurus Dead formed late in 2010, and immediately set to work honing

their melodically driven, fuzzed-out sound. Inspired by bands including The Delgados and

“Trailer” era Ash – Billy Lowe (vocals & guitar), Eleanor Rudge (vocals), Martin Edwards

(guitar), Tom Northam (bass) and Rupert Willows (drums) make warm, distortion drizzled pop.

A successful live act, they have played support to the likes of The Primitives, Shrag and Wave

Pictures.

 

Gum have been making woozy, reverb-drenched shoegaze since September 2011. Formed in

London by Grant J. Healey (vocals & guitar), Jessica Jordan-Wrench (vocals & bass), Dayoung

Styxx Yun (drums) and Chris Leader (vocals & guitars) they have quickly gained notoriety with

a string of favourable reviews and a split 7” out this month via Art Is Hard (hear track from split

here). Noisy-pop that joins the dots between MBV, The Jesus & Mary Chain and Yuck.

The newest of the newcomers, The Hundredth Anniversary are a four piece band based in

Brighton who formed earlier this year. Eleanor Rudge (vocals & guitar), Chris Lowe (vocals &

bass), Andy Taylor (guitar) and Dem Mather (drums) make gloriously soaring lo-fi indie. As if

The Walkmen were fronted by Cat Power and filtered through a soft-haze of radio static.

Reeks Of Effort is a renowned Cardiff/Manchester/Brighton/London based blog, who are now

branching out into gigs and records. Exciting right?

Female & British | Friday Five

Posted on by

A new feature and a simple one. It’s Friday. You should be working but you can’t be bothered. Frost will introduce you to five brilliant acts that if you’re not listening to already, then you ought to be. This week the brief is British and Female.

 

Es Muss Sein – a young female singer from Kent., first seen supporting Glasvegas at their recent London show. This track is a live version of ‘Sail’ from her recent ‘Es Muss Sein’ EP.

 

 

She Makes War – in her own words she’s a “London-dwelling gloom-pop solo artist” and one who recently covered Madonna in collaboration with Hope and Social. Below is ‘Exit Strategy, the lead track from her recent ‘Little Battles’ LP. If you’re quick you can catch her on tour now.

 

 

Evans The Death – a slice of Babes in Toyland-esque speed-pop from a great new London band:

 

 

Eliza Newman – ok so she wasn’t born here, or indeed born Newman. When I first saw her live, with previous outfit Bellatrix, she was under the name Eliza Geirsdóttir but let’s not split hairs over a voice this good. Originally from Iceland, now resident in London she writes beautifully complex pop songs. ‘Pie In The Sky’ is the title track to her 2nd solo album, released last year.

 

 

Scout Niblett – originally from Nottingham, now resident in Portland, Oregon, Ms Niblett has been rocking her minimalist sound for over a decade to critical acclaim. This track, ‘Your Beat Kicks Back Like Death’, is a superb mix of drums and vocals. Splendid!
