Glass Jaw

Doors - 7:30 PM

Tickets - £15 adv

Glassjaw are a five-piece rock band from Long Island, New York. Worship And Tribute is their Warner Bros. Records debut album. Love it or hate it, there is nothing comfortable, or mundane about Worship And Tribute. Picture Elvis Costello fronting the Bad Brains or Morrissey singing with Fugazi. That may (or may not) clue you in to what Worship And Tribute is all about. Painfully passionate and sonically dense, Worship And Tribute is a unique post hardcore hybrid that should bridge both new and old fans alike. Glassjaw formed from the ashes of New York hardcore band Sons Of Abraham and originally existed as a "weekend outlet for the individual members." In late 2001, Glassjaw eventually resurfaced at its new Warner Bros. home and recently delivered Worship And Tribute, an album erected upon an indie aesthetic and more sophisticated approach towards arrangement. The band considers producer Robinson the catalyst that makes them better always pushing them extremely hard. Glassjaw's frenetic live energy and unharnessed emotion are the reasons why fans turn up in droves at gigs.

Thomas Tantrum

+ The Duloks + Quad Throw Salchow

Doors - 10:30 PM

Tickets - £6 adv

Thomas Tantrum are a female fronted four piece from goatee beach who specialise in wiry guitar patterns with little red riding hood vocals [the wolf still lurks somewhere in the background]. 

The stark and affecting raw vocals of Megan Thomas skating over the gentle lull of Dave Miatt’s harmonies and their two simple, beatnik folky guitar lines has made them flavour of the moment in Southampton’s local music scene. Their enigmatically introverted style and effortlessly enchanting sparkle has been a breath of fresh air in an indie scene saturated with electric guitars and synth lines. Having recruited friends on bass and drums, they’ve recently started gigging as a band under the guise Thomas Tantrum.

"This band are doubtlessly among the most exciting and alluring new acts" - Drowned In Sound
