NELSON (Paris)
A welcome return to Artrocker - Nelson, the first French artrock band of
note who are Artrocker magazine’s current cover stars. With their debut album
‘Revolving Doors’ on DiamondTraxx Recordings now given a UK release by ctrl:alt:del Records
they stand more than a good chance of getting themselves noticed too. A dark
and urban sound with brittle guitars (when they aren’t white noise
distortion), syncopated drum patterns and automaton vocals (in English) mean
Joy Division and Krautrock drones are never far away although Interpol,
Franz Ferdinand, The Rapture are their closest contemporaries. Awkward and
inventive grooves, guitars and synths entwine, and dark pop songs prevail.

EVERYTHING EVERYTHING (Manchester)
Relocated from the North East, this four piece is really mixing it up from the intricate vocal harmonies of Futureheads or Hot Club De Paris to the prog arrangements and funkiness of Foals or Late of The Pier. Accomplished playing, memorable tunes and choruses throughout the ‘Suffragette Suffragette’ debut single just released.
“…choppy razor-cut punk-funk and snatches of melody with full-on speed-funk bass… to which I’d add Hot Club De Paris, even Adam And The Ants… “
