Sunday 31st August Some Kind of Signal presents...
[sub]NOVA + Section 30 + Pray for Hayden + Martin Wainwright
LIVE :: Rock/Grunge/Emo/Hardcore
[sub]NOVA is melodic aggressive grunge at its best, a swirling cacophony of hypnotic sound pleasure, with resonances of Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains: "It’s easy to imagine [sub]NOVA filling stadiums. They’re tight, polished and deliver a huge sound." - BBC Raw Talent. Section 30 are York’s own rock monkeys, comprised of members of such get-ups as Nightproject, Arcana, and Falling Fifty Stories, Section 30 are fast, energetic and fervent. Pray for Hayden are coming straight out of the Leeds rock-circuit and whispers say they are destined for big things, with elements of At The Drive In, Hell is for Heroes and Hundred Reasons - confrontational and insistent (Powerplay rated them 8/10.) Martin Wainwright will be warming up the crowd with an assault of acoustic emo powerpunk, with a voice reminiscient of Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz.

dboy: in his hometown (leeds) he has been crowned a ‘local legend’ by no-title magazine; he is playing more and imbibing less, which can be nothing but a good thing. he is recording an album of interconnected songs…
