WE ARE INFLUENCED BY A VARIETY OF MUSICAL STYLES. Genres like post-hardcore, grunge, math-rock, reggae ,noise and free-jazz inspired us to want to play music. We try not to stick to one particular style: in order to keep ourselves and our audience intrested, constant progression is vital. The artists that have influenced the present sound of the modus vivendi are mainly : FUGAZI, EX-MODELS, TORTOISE,THE EX, BATTLES, HOOVER,UZEDA, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART,TEN GRAND.

The Modus Vivendi (pl, modus vivendi - A manner of living; a way of life) formed in 2003:Formed by four friends, and fualed by a passion to knock drinks out of peoples hands! We wanted to create a sound that encorporated all of our music influences, but was still unique, and refreshing. its sounds like a cliche, but we mean it! we try and merge spikey, dischordant,raw guitars, with rolling, colossal drums and thick ,aggressive, Uzeda-esque basslines.Dual spazzy vocals make up the outfit, and an electric live show, filled with hyper aggression, and spontaneous 'back-bending' is what keeps things exciting for us, and the audience. We have recently finished our 3rd e.p," you are the wooden spoon, i am the casualty",which is available from all of our shows. We are looking to tour the u.k this year. If anyone out there likes our material, and is able to help us with shows, please message us, WE WILL PLAY WHERE EVER THERES SPACE! x

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
This beautiful super-heavyweight LP, which comes packaged in a sweet full-colour sleeve reunites the UK's premier free drummer Alex Neilson, who's played, amongst others, with Motor Ghost, Directing Hand, Trembling Bells, Tight Meat Duo, Josephine Foster, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Jandek, MV&EE, Richard Youngs, Baby Dee and Alastair Galbraith, with Nmperign member Greg Kelley, whose reinvention of the trumpet is as crucial now as Anthony Braxton's reinvention of the sax was 30 years ago. A screeching, soaring, scattergun array of noises come maniacally out of Greg's horn, unlike anything we've ever heard and, with the addition of random stabs of electronics, he successfully straddles no wave, concrete and free jazz in a way that makes those genres seem like trite pigeonholes.
