   About AOMC
    There's no amazing story of how we got together, we just did. We started writing what came naturally and we ended up with a bunch of tunes that some people liked.
    We have documented some of the thoughts we've received on our recordings below, with the full reviews in our blog section. We are still awaiting some reviews to roll in, and we will update these as and when that happens, if it ever does...we live in hope:
LEEDS MUSIC SCENE
    On Part Three EP: "AOMC certainly wouldn't be out of place in the current rock scene and show a lot more promise than half the bands already there."
SANDMAN MAGAZINE
    On Part Three EP: "Wow. Now this is a band that everyone should have on their playlist ASAP."
MANCHESTER MUSIC SCENE:
    On Part Five EP: "This inspired Leeds outfit are one of the few bands to follow their dreams by actually going out there and doing it. ...when it comes to killing a few brain cells with intelligent, overwhelming rock, AOMC win all so easily. Like I said, a triumph. MMMM ½ "
    On Part Four EP: "Spluttering, powerful, considered, noisy excitement"
    On Part Three EP: "It's surprising that no-one's yet given this band a record deal of some sort. "Jezebel" is inventive driving rock...They're a band that can pull this in any direction too, and seem capable of coming up with some progressive epics at some point in the future. MMMM"
    On Part Two EP: "Hit The Ground is a fine meaty slab of bass, rock drums, a handful of chords and of course guitars, that track both heavy rock and the real sound of original American indie. An appealing demo with vast potential."
WHISPERIN' & HOLLERIN'
    On Part Two EP: "Yes, the likes of The Cooper Temple Clause, Therapy? and arguably even Fugazi assail you during this brief, but fascinating ghost train ride, but when you emerge breathless at the end, it's simply the sound of AOMC that rings in your ears...It makes for unsettling, but fascinating listening and makes a convincing argument in favour of noise being for heroes after all. Very nice indeed gents."
THE PLASTIC ASHTRAY
    On Part Five EP: "Authors Of Malicious Code never started out this heavy and angular but it seems time has shaped them into one hell of a band. Now someone give them wider attention!"
    On Part Three EP: "If you haven’t already heard Parts 1 & 2 then part three is certainly a good reference point showing a band on the gradual climb, hopefully leading to bigger things. You can’t say they don’t deserve it."
    On Part Two EP: "Their brand of nut crunching guitars, thundering drums, melodies and infectious chorus's is one thing, but to be able to put that all into affect in a studio is another. Keep an ear out for part three. We will!"
MONO MAGAZINE
    On Part Five EP: "If you like your rock heavy and are heartily sick (as you truly ought to be) of hanging out in health-hazard bars surrounded by unwashed hordes of ageing bikers and malodorous greybeard hippies, while several similar saddos stalk the stage pumping piss-poor Whitesnake and AC/DC covers through Saga-insured Marshall stacks, then you could do worse than get into AOMC instead... unless, of course, you've already forgotten what good original and new music is all about."
TASTY FANZINE
    On Part Five EP: "But after a few listens you notice what has probably become AOMCs calling card - an uncanny knack of twisting a song melody and rhythm on its head and back again without sounding 'angular' or 'agit'."
    On Part Four EP: "And bang! Goalkeeper Wanted's clonks and clangs get booted firmly into touch by AOMC's shit-kickingly good latest offering. Part Four sees them bolstering the drums and really playing around with time changes and great hooks."
    On Part Two EP" "AOMC seem to play well within themselves and I mean this in a good way - there's always a temptation to throw everything into a promo EP but these excesses have been eschewed in favour of a rigorous pair of songs that are tight, dynamic and definitely build on the right direction from Part One"
    On Part One EP: "'Part One' is the first of the planned four releases this year from the Leeds based quartet and shows enough promise to keep an eye out for later work"
NO-TITLE MAGAZINE
    On Part Four EP: "Kick off your shoes and get it on with Authors of Malicious Code. The latest segment in AOMC’s rock opera brings about perfectly constructed songs, consisting of crunching guitar and drums that thrash around with as much energy as a baby harp seal in dangerous waters."
    On Part One EP: "...if they can capture a bit more of this energy and emotion on record we could have a very, very good band on our hands here."
A bit more about us:
    We enjoy playing live, so we'd appreciate anyone wanting us to play at one of their nights. All you have to do is ask us, we have no unreasonable demands, in fact we have no real demands at all, maybe that's where we go wrong...we're just not as malicious as the name would suggest

Koen Holtkamp is no stranger to producing beautiful music. Expect layers of warm organic noise and found sound combine to make pieces that are both gorgeously minimalistic and endlessly deep. He's making the trip over from New York to celebrate the launch of his new album on Type records, and you'd be a fool to miss him!

Gorgeously organic music that washes over you and through you - the best of all ambient music understands the importance of holding back, of understatement, of beauty - Pausal achieve this, and more. Stunning stuff for a night of pure sonic bliss.

Forest of Sound's favourite one man laptop genius, randomNumber, comes back to regale us with his excellent and deeply inventive brand of electronica. There's a reason that he's so energetic in his performance - his music is brilliant. Simple. As.

A Forest of Sound presentation. It’ll be £5 on the door, and doors are at 8pm.

Golden Diskó Ship combines a mass of instruments and found objects (guitars, viola, glockenspiel, sticky tape, compact disc cases, toys…) together with perfectly crafted laptop electronica to form a world of beautiful, original and individual music - “…dreamy, experimental folk electronica that sounds like walking on the beach with the sun in your eyes."

The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff.

Hands and Fingers makes minimally gorgeous cerebral music. He mixes samples, acoustic guitars, glockenspiel and ambient atmospheres with drum breaks that have been described as "Tortoise having a fight with Four Tet in the dark, with John Bonham trying to split them up". It's ace. Very ace.

A Forest of Sound presentation. It’s £4 on the door, doors are 8pm.

Alas, the first Forest of Sound of 2008 has been disrupted. Capulet have had to pull out as one of their number has been asked to support The Smashing Pumpkins in his other role in Oceansize… but fear not, the super talented James Yates has been added to the bill.

Dirge are a find that got the Forest of Sound camp very, very excited. Based around a minimalist core Dirge take the raw emotion and sweeping bleak sounds from the post-rock canon and fuse them with story telling and lyricism of lo-fi indie and folk and slowcore beauty.

Her Name Is Calla are astoundingly good. Watching these guys play is like watching a force of nature threatening to destroy everything around you - the power, beauty and effect of their music has to be seen live to be appreciated.

CHARLIESHERO are a band who read from the post rock canon and spit it back out with blistering energy and conviction. This kind of music lives and dies in the playing - the dynamics, the passion, the sheer force of it all... Luckily, they've got all that down just right.

James Yates’ solo show is something to behold - organic electronics, perfect drums, spot on percussion and mad-as-a-hatter inventiveness.

A Forest of Sound presentation. Tickets are £5 on the door, doors are 7.30pm.
