If you could take bands like BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, SOUNDGARDEN and RISE AGAINST, and mash those into something with the best of their grooves, heavy sound and intensity, then you might be somewhat close to what THE BASTARD SONS sounds like. They’ll kick your sorry ass and rock your tiny little world!Contraptions don’t sit neatly in any genre box. One night you’ll find them crashing a metal bill, the next tearing through a ska-punk lineup — saxophones wailing over brutal riffs that shift from mathy precision to skanking nonsense. The band channel the grit and humour of their hometown Sheffield, whilst pulling influences from Mr Bungle, Periphery, Frank Zappa, Thank You Scientist, Fishbone, and Dream Theater, with flashes of John Zorn and Reel Big Fish creeping in at the edges. The result is a sound that’s heavy, playful, and unapologetically unpredictable.
Amongst Thieves are a post-hardcore 5 piece from York / leeds, bringing astounding vocals and incredible stage presence. What a fricking opener to what promises to be a belter of an evening!
