Appearing:
Sky Valley Mistress
Returning with their first release since their debut album “Faithless Rituals”, Sky Valley Mistress have launched back into the sonic stratosphere with their brand new single “Too Many Ghosts”. Recorded at The Nave Studios, Leeds with engineer Danny Blackburn (Adult DVD), it’s clear that the sound of the desert still fuels this band wherever they go as their latest cut is cactus needle sharp. From the moment the track picks up, Sky Valley Mistress drive you beyond the horizon and leave you hanging by the hook of the chorus ready to ride again. Or as the band explain: “This song is meant for the open highway. Somewhere you have the freedom to put your foot down and still feel like you’re cruising”. Now streamlined and stripped back to the two original members, refusing to conform to conventions, on the record Sky Valley Mistress have doubled down their studio sound and present themselves as a four-piece band. How the hearse rollin’, flare strollin’, speaker ‘splodin’ outfit recreate this in the flesh as a Duel-Drumming Duo however, has to be seen to be believed. Lead vocalist Kayley “Hell Kitten” Davies picks up the sticks and play one half of a drum kit, with former drummer Maxwell Harvey William Newsome III taking on the electric guitar and keeping one foot on the kick drum. No samples. No backing tracks. No click tracks. No one is playing rock and roll the way that these two do.

YAANG
YAANG are a trio with explosive energy who have become the inevitable band of the Manchester alternative scene. Their sound is a frenzied mix of electronic drum loops, piercing guitars and offbeat humour.
