"There are cheeky screeches of strangulated feedback, scratchy rhythms and cheery foot-to-the-pedal singalong bursts of tuneful chaos"
"If Projekt A-KO's sound seems strangely familiar, it might have something to do with them being formed from the ashes of cult 90s Scottish lo-fi outfit Urusei Yatsura.
Their music retains the same slanted charm as ever, and Here Comes New Challenger! is a prime example: quietly addictive, stacked up with harsh guitars and a ramshackle mess of a finale, it recalls Sonic Youth, a kooky hint of Pavement, a dash of The Pixies and perhaps a dash of Velvet Underground to boot. The song itself another nice taster for the forthcoming debut album due later in the year." (BBC Berkshire 11.02.08)

“it is everything a noisy pop record should be”
“this is a record that fizzes with punk attitude, that kicks you forcefully in the teeth with top notch pop tunes”
(lostmusic.co.uk)
“poppy aspects of Pavement and Sonic Youth”
(logicallogic.blogspot.com)
“Marching in as if it’s still 1993, the band instantly assault the ears with lots and lots of noise. The guitar is all over the place and what harmonies there are tend to be drenched in distortion. And what distortion it is. Never really letting up for the whole four minutes, it could so easily be a horrible sounding mess. Instead, it turns out to be something wonderful.”
(anotherformofrelief.com)
“The guitars are still fuzzy, the songs still jumpy and awkward, but there's a Pavement and especially Dinosaur Jr semi-composure to the discordance. Ragged and raw but in control, that's what we want.”
(sweepingthenation.blogspot.com)
“a real old school indie sound, which reminds me of mid-90s bedsit land”
(alayerofchips.blogspot.com)
“we've heard a few tracks from it, and they are amazingstunningawesome. There are a couple non-album MP3's at the Yoyodyne microsite, and even those are awesome.”
(jbreitling.blogspot.com)
“Of course, there's a smattering of Urusei Yatsura-ness about them, but Supertriste Duxelle is entirely, excitingly, its own band's beast - shuddering, skittering and crashing along, with a charming tune and a lovely chorus.”
“when the song hits its considerable stride, it rains sonic blows on you in the same way that Eddie Honda from Street Fighter II did when you played your mate Dave”

Electropapknit are pleased to announce that we are back with a new club night featuring amazing bands from Wednesday 4 November 2009!!!
As a new night in the now long gig history of Electropapknit shows, we thought we had to come up with an apt name that put across what we are about: great bands, cheap prices and bloody good times.
Therefore the new clubnight will be called Panda Panda Panda!
Based at the Glasgow School of Art, door entry with be £3 with cheap drink deals on shots at £1, pints £1.50 and vodka mix £1.50. We are very excited about the first night in November as it features three of our favourite most excellent bands from Glasgow:
Vom - mind bending apocalypse space rock, with a nod to the lounge effect that might just melt you! This aggression won't stand, man!
The Ballad of Mable Wong - jangled up bloody alt fun, with progressive and decadent melodies released by sharp guitar crunch, Sexy!
Mr Peppermint - former Hyena megasexuals, with swooning noise vox and tub thumping rhythms. Killer riffs on one side, masks in the other!
Please support our Indie Pop "EP CLUB" presented by Series Two Records and Eggnog Records. It is a collaboration between an Indie Pop label in Nebraska and one in New Zealand. The indie pop EP CLUB's include artists from around the world.
