Music and gigs 👇

While we’re pulling together some juicy tour content, we’ve got another special treat: our second EP in its final form - our three recent singles together in one place (so they’ll transition properly and you won’t even have to try) and all three of our gorgeous faces at the same time too
Closer to Death is out for early listens on bandcamp NOW and out to stream everywhere else on Wednesday

As part of MVT's Everywhere at Once 'festival' we're very excited to have Cowboyy here next month.
A south coast born three piece, guitar oriented, high energy, math rock/pop with everything from crazy pedal effects, ridiculous two handed tapping, to piercing guitar line, Cowboyy are a truly unique prospect.
With support from Masquerader and more TBA.

++SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT++
Get connected to three of the hardest-hitting bands in our local punk scene.On Friday 22nd May, @officialnihilist , @skunkworm and @i.am.masquerader will rock the stage at @the_rowbarge_guildford_, hosted by @wokingaudio.
Masquerader are a band of hard contrasts - caustic, dissonant synth leads with an organic, visceral rhythm section; cutting bass riffs over complex, tricky drumwork; mathy rhythmic dissent overclocked with raw post-hardcore urgency. FFO Deftones, Glassjaw, Death Grips
Post-punk misfits Nihilist have been leaving crowds exhilarated with their anarchic live shows, sardonically relatable lyrics, and riffs that could become future music store classics.Expect them to be volatile, demented and totally unrestrained.FFO Soft Play, Nirvana
Skunkworm ain’t indie pop. Think post punk, hardcore and emo (the good kind). Every member influences the music and each song stands out. Innovation not repetition. FFO At The Drive In, Slint, Black Midi.
Free entry, with a collection for the bands. Make a diary note to get there before 8pm, because we are going to fill up fast!
