Sample the band's wares on MySpace, particularly their hella-decent collaboration with Oxbow's Eugene Robinson, 'The Pulp Cut'.

    • let me guess it clashes with bestival AGAIN?

      :(

      • Field day :'(

        why can't they have it when i'm not at another festival?

    • that rapturefest

      last fm says highly successful, on the second day last year there were about eight people there! i've only heard about 3 bands playing this year.

      • they may well

        be playing in my warehouse, maybe.

        should find out really.

      • depress...

        im sure they are good, caught Throats the other day and they bored me so much...

        ive gone from being a sludge, doom whatever fan and im so bored now...im considering Dubstep and Grime much more interesting...

        i miss EHG

      • Leicester gig...

        is without Throats but with the fantastic Albatross Conspiracy. £5 on the door starts about 8 at the lovely Firebug on Millstone Lane. Would be ace to see a packed room and ease my overdraft/make the bands make a bit of cash.

        • they won't be playing the bandstand in stoke on the 24th

          cos the venue shut down last week.

        • great band!

        • I perfer throats

          to albatross conspiracy. I hear she's a bit rubbish. :P
