   About hooker Bentley
Such excellent hooks and infectious lines and twists that stick around (Org records) http://organart.com/

BEING GREAT IS REALLY THIS EASY.

It was early days, but even then they had the seeds of the manic, unhinged live shows that have created their fearsome onstage reputation today. Inevitably hooker Bentley (name now changed due to a legal fiasco) began to stretch out to London venues and with their second recording Now were Making Friends firmly in hand, began gaining the attention of industry folk. Even at this stage the band were constantly looking to push the boundaries of their sound, fighting their way in to a scene which seemed to be churning out garage rock bands 5 a day

Holing themselves up once more to record more tracks (which took the form of 2003s See you when I see you sessions), this was now a band firing on all four cylinders, refusing to compromise their sound and, if anything, pushing themselves to be that bit different from the bunch. With rave reviews from the likes of ORG Records (Demo of the Month, August 2004) and new interest from up and coming Independent Label Chromium Records, there seemed to be nothing stopping hooker Bentley making their mark on an industry, which so desperately needed a change

However, with the departure of founder member Carl Hutson in July 2004, the band was forced to a halt to spend time finding a replacement. After months of searching high and low, old friend Alexis Gray was called upon to take the bass man role and hooker Bentley sprung in to action once more. With new songs, a new CD (2005s Day Release E.P) and new found fire in their bellies, the band have just about finishing recording a bunch of tracks for the as yet titled first album(working title "Miles Underground") which they promise will show that they are very much still here, and still hungry for success

PRESS QUOTES:

"Driven and indeed driving rock n' roll" (Bugbear Promotions)

"..the devils own harp music....rock so tight you could nail your grandma to it!" (Sandman Magazine, sheffield)

"..like Led Zeppelin on crack jamming with Soungarden on speed!" (Punter)

OUT NOW

The Hunter Gracchus Companions of the Porch CD-R

We've never been able to quite pin down exactly how the The Hunter Gracchus are going to play on any given occasion, which is a wonderful thing. A shifting unit with Syed Kamran Ali, Fiona Marshall and Jon Marshall at the core, they have recently settled into a fairly stable unit of six, but it's hard to know how long that'll last. Still, while it does, it's producing all manner of magical and highly unexpected performances. The one captured here was recorded at the band's practice room cum gig space, Fagin's Hideout/The Furniture Makers and is a less blistering freakout than some of their recent output, preferring to quietly explore every nook of tonal space. It simmers rather than erupts and, the longer you become immersed in it, the less aware you become of the passage of time. It's a recording that feels like it should go on forever and, when it does come to a close, the silence is shocking. In a time when it's all too easy for a group of improvisers to just go full-tilt in some euphoric pursuit, the Hunter Gracchus provides us with a glowing alternative that draws us slowly in and drowns our senses. This is truly awesome.

Ltd to 80 copies, sleeves printed on recycled card w/soya based ink, no less

Apr 10 2009 11:03 AM



For the first Nerve release of 2009, we're very proud to present the debut EP from Copenhagen's Jean Doe.

It's drum n bass tinged with detroit techno and deep house, from the glitchy beats of the title track to deep rolling vibes on "Nuance" and "Fibre" before fellow Copenhagen based producer Pyro joins him for the epic and uplifting "Ambitions in A Minor".

Available in high quality digital download at:

The Nerve Store on Beatport

and

Nerve on Chemical Records

More info on the Nerve Myspace or check out Jean Doe's Myspace.

Hey!

As a friend of Killaflaw we'd like to give you the opportunity of purchasing our uniquely numbered, limited edition CD single 'Revolution' which also includes the much loved 'Holy Fuck' on the B side.

There are only 1000 copies in existence and further copies will be sold without these unique numbers, so here is your chance to own a piece of music history from the LIPA award winning band dubbed by Eddy dance/rock guru Temple-Morris "the missing link between Soundgarden and The Prodigy"

The record is of course also available to buy as MP3 download.

To get your copy go to the following link:

www. cdbaby. com/killaflaw

Thanks again for supporting Killaflaw and we really hope you enjoy.
