iLike The StopMotion Men

Sounds Like"Urgent and at times manic expression... A band on the verge of something big..."

Bristol University Magazine

"Strong narrative, story led songs with some unique twists and sonic tidal waves...A band marked by intelligence, creativity, artistry and vision. Gormandising for the senses, dramatic soundtracks to the movies of your life"

Martin Kendrick, noisemakesenemies.co.uk

"With the Epic leanings of Martin Grech, and the flame-to-fuse delivery of intensity and passion throughout recalling early Pearl Jam, The StopMotion Men have created a tasty nugget of impassioned rock... perhaps this is the new wave? Either way, you’ll love it!"

Jeremy Chick, subba-cultcha.com

"Like a cross between The Hellset Orchestra and Muse...These songs are masterfully well written, delivered with real purpose and surely destined to be venue fillers"

Shane Blanchard, tastyfanzine.org.uk

"Really addictive listening...epic, intentionally cinematic...a rock sound reminiscent of Pearl Jam or even Muse at times...why aren't this band signed yet?" Rated 11 out of 13

Emma Gould, roomthirteen.com

"The StopMotion Men have thrown out the normal bass guitar and opted for a piano in there instead, giving a massive rock sound with opportunities for a huge dynamic range, which they certainly exploit to the full...They reach out with soaring melodies...Leaves me with baited breath waiting for what's coming next."

Punkscene.co.uk

"When you consider that the only instruments they play on this release are piano, guitar and drums, they certainly manage to push out a huge sound which is urgent, manic, expressive, passionate and full of vigour and goes a long way to show that this is a band in a state of rapid development.."

Don Gibbs, Hardrockhouse.com

"Innovative and imaginative, with a highly original approach.."

Dean Hill, tourdates.co.uk

THE STOPMOTION MEN are a unique hybrid of music and film based in Cardiff and Bristol. Our live performances offer a combination of alternative rock with cinema-esque visuals.

Hailing from Aberystwyth, Cardiff and Bristol ‘THE STOPMOTION MEN' draw their inspiration from artists such as Muse, Danny Elfman, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Darren Aronofsky and David Lynch. They have scooped various film festival awards - Winning 'Best Music Video' at the Newport International film festival for 'On all your walls', 'Best Music Video' at the JVC Digital video awards for 'It's all going to catch up with you'. They have also scored the soundtrack to Swansea Film festival Winner 'The Girl, The Gun and The Desert'.

The band have recently recorded an EP - What Now? - with long-time Manic Street Preachers producer Greg Haver and are eagerly awaiting its release. Keep watching this space for more details... In the mean time we hope to catch you at one of many open-mic nights around Cardiff or an OXJAM event near you...

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.

This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!

It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm

As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
