Velour Fog – crazy wah wah rockin’ heavy rawk, more Stoner than metal – but with lead heavy riffology taking in Sabbath and Metallica etc… BLC Mirror Club– French indie rockers, hooky tunes with a Manics meets Suede feel. The Raven Chords-Magnificently mournful Grunge/Americana rocking Boy/girl vocals with a Mark Lanegan via a grunged up Giant Sand vibe. The Turn post-punk infused indie rock a-la Magazine with an occasional rhythmic and rocking blast of something a bit rawer, early Clash, The Jam and Wire maybe. Paper Hats – a righteous noise from the post Slint school of math rock, with Screamo elements also adeptly in place.
