Metropolis like to dismantle things...
Some of the things they have enjoyed dismantling since the formation of the group in 1998 are the compositions of their saxophonist, Petter Frost Fadnes. If we can think of the compositions as small, cute, fluffy rodents, then Metropolis would be the mean-spirited, evil children armed with staple guns and gaffer tape. Watching Metropolis perform has been likened to watching a car crash, being unable to turn away, but finding you actually quite enjoy the experience.

Kling Klang
I totally buzz off Kling Klang. Fat electro krautrock riffs and landscapes get channeled through amiable scousers. http://www.myspace.com/klingklang
listen to Heavydale
Quack Quack
Yorskhire's top semi-pro rock band create pulsing rhythmic grooves lovingly fermented from the finest drums, synths and bass they could get their hands on. A very special vintage. http://www.myspace.com/thisisquackquack
listen to Conversations
Minghe Morte
Musicianship of the highest calibre which will blow your head clean off. With drums, fucked up sax and bass coming together for infectiously violating rock grooves, tender atmospheres and aggresive spasmodic climaxing. http://www.myspace.com/minghemorte
listen to i Punch U Coz i Like U
Curious Voice Duo
Two lovely girls from LIMA* who know their voices. Performing within semi-structures with an innocent improvisational flair, entwining their heavenly voices in gorgeously melodic dialogue. With no added vocal effects. http://www.myspace.com/elisabethnygaard http://www.myspace.com/mariajardardottir
listen to Elisabeth's 'Clinical Waste' here : http://www.myspace.com/underthestairsstudio listen to Maria's Part 5 Joy of Liberation on her site
