"Gloriously messy, pretentious and exclusionary art-noise from a Bristol band who's songwriting technique goes along the lines of: tunes are boring, structure is boring, keeping the beat (any beat) is boring. Feeling is everything. Learning how to listen to them is our problem." (Henry Barnes - GUARDIAN.CO.UK)
"Phillip Pullman, is he the greatest storyteller ever?" (The OBSERVER)
"DIY creativity and musical reward of the highest order." (album of the week- The ORGAN)
"Spiky, disjointed mess of sludge, post hardcore and noise influences-so many ideas, so little time, frenetically explosive and like a car crash, impossible to take your eyes off of..." (A SUBBA-CULTCHA.COM single of the month)
"...rip your face off with a virtual mess of harsh, guerrilla-recorded sonic mayhem. Coarse and brash, experimental and technically noisy, each two-minute track on this tidy EP gives the listener a cardiac arrest and an earache at the same time." (ARTROCKER)
"Elements of Huggy Bear, Drive Like Jehu and The Raincoats can be heard scattered throughout BLOOD SMASH, but really The Jelas are playing by their own rules here, you'll be hard pressed to name a band as freeform and off the musical rails in recent years." (UK Music Review)
"Even though the music is all herky jerky, it flows out of them like piss out of a man with absolutely no prostate problems.....Noise for the Proletariat!" (Charley Dunlap - MOLES.CO.UK)

The issue includes an interview with folk band Mumford & Sons in celebration of their recent debut Sigh No More, and fellow rising stars Cherbourg. We've also caught up with Cardiff's The Victorian English Gentlemens Club and Brighton's Esben & the Witch. As an extension of Issue #8's AUS101 synopsis, we've interview Melbourne's Cuthbert & the Night Walkers, and continued the column with IRE101, an exploration into the Irish music scene, and NM101, an exploration into the New Mexican music scene. In addition to all of this, we have a face-off with The Ethical Debating Society and An Axe, and Emily Stern talks to Venus Bogardus' Hannah Levbarg about her involvement in various feminist projects.

It's a long time since we've seen you - this must be remedied!
We have an album coming out soon and there's a song from it on our page. I don't think you'll like it. Especially not Aled. But there will be other songs soon and you might like those more.
