Sounds Like
'Amateur Assassins takes the brash, twisted structures of The Jesus Lizard, combines it with twangy, minimal post-punk like Gang Of Four, and fronts it with an agonising, torturous vocalist, like if Guy Picciotto, Iggy Pop and Cedric Bixler were to merge into one single being and Quantum Leap into the body of Pee Wee Herman just as he is filming his new picture, Pee Wee On Fire'...

T' Assassins are two brothers and two friends who have been lurking around Stoke for a couple of years, playing in bands and generally disappointing their parents, they decided to pool their collective talents into a new familial humiliation which has so far yielded a beautifully disgusting noise, their main influences includes gravity, clouds and the morbidly obese, they released their first album/ep to massive critical acclaim, all songs featured were thrown together in a six week spree and then recorded in a few hours on the 5th April 2009, they played their first gig on April 10th 2009 w/ My Disco, Scul Hazzards and Ox Scapula.
