Sounds Like
Pop music being twisted in half and kicked to death///
Michael Jackson crossed with Rammstein, The Pixies and Squarepusher///
Paris Hilton's studio being carpet-bombed by Prince///
The music playing in the dreams you have when you fall asleep drunk at a party full of people you hate.

About The Walk Off have broken up, to become rappers
The Walk Off
The Walk Off formed in late 2004 to make pop music. The production of sound, however, quickly became an alternative to more traditional forms of therapy, and a review of the first performance likened the sound to the opening salvo's of World War III.
UPDATE:
THE THERAPY HAS STOPPED WORKING. WE ARE ALL OFF OUR NOISE MEDS. THE WALK OFF PLAYED THEIR LAST SHOW DEC 27TH 2007. MYSPACE IS NOT UPDATING THE CALENDAR BECAUSE IT IS SHIT. CONTACT US IN THE REAL WORLD, OK? MYSPACE MESSAGES ARE FUCKING LAME.

HERE IS THE POPULAR HISTORY OF THE WALK OFF; A FINELY-CRAFTED BLEND OF HALF-TRUTHS WE STILL STAND BEHIND 100%.
2004-2007
Vader Fader was released on Hungry Audio in 2007 after we released some other things on cd's for other people.
we have played with !!!, Polysics, and The Wurzels, at some point, amongst loads of others, whose memories have been eroded by time and partying too hard.

Fiercely mentalist junglist thrash off.
You think you've heard rock n' rave? you ain't heard nothing til you've seen what this Oxford/Coventry/Bristol band (slogan: "stick your glowsticks up your arse, punks") can do with razor-sharp d'n'b, nasty thrash riffs, and Monsieur Blake's inhuman screeched vocals. 'Vader Fader' is the nastiest, while 'Kick' makes more of the d'n'b bass, but both are deeply danceable and certifiably mental

Like being in a dystopian cyberpunk nightmare somewhere around the turn of the next century and never wanting to leave, say. Or like dancing until all your internal organs explode. Either way it’s Hammer horror glitch-rock that requires a durable dancefloor, a strong stomach and absorbent undergarments. Taste the noise! DROWNED IN SOUND, 2007.

"The Walkoff show where the progression in the dance/rock interface should be right now, i.e. somewhere very loud and fast. This is where Squarepusher, intestine-mangling guitars, T. Raumschmiere, Britney Spears samples, Kid 606 and dancing bears collide by the sounds of it, literally. Result: everyone dances like theyre having their heads kicked in whilst standing up. Ave it. -DROWNED IN SOUND, 2006

Vicious Techno pop from Oxford that references the likes of Ministry and Aphex twin. It gives me a migrane and makes my head spin all at once. NME, 2006
"If Michael Jackson was indeed the devil, and Aphex Twin and Atari Teenage Riot
had produced 'Bad', this is what it may have sounded like." Nightshift, Feb 2007

Imagine drum and bass without those horrible pill heads and the baggy ripped jeans, mixed with techno without the boring bastards who make it, crossed with pure harcore punk. You'd be close, very close. Plastic Ashtray

In the absence of a bass guitar, PAPIER TIGRE’s sound is built around pounding tribal drums that propel each song forward with ruthless efficiency. This urgency is underlined by the distinctive and insistent vocals of Eric, his strained yelps acting as a rallying cry to the guitars, which occupy the space between voice and drums and make it their own. Whether working together or against each other, the interplay between the two instruments is explosive. Brittle melodies seemingly scrap with vicious riffs, before the two suddenly come together to deliver the coup de grace. This is art punk, but at it’s most primal.
PAPIER TIGRE understands that a song being intelligent and complex need not exclude it from having a raw, danceable energy. ------- SOUVARIS Souvaris are an ambient rock band featuring guitars, trumpets, synths and pianos, sounding somewhere inbetween Tortoise and Low. ------- SHADOWPLAY High energy, spacey, electronica-y rock
Saturday 29th November Baby Dee + Black Carrot + Paul Curreri £10 adv/ £4 students /£12 door
Baby Dee is an American performance artist and singer/songwriter. She is a musician and transgender street legend from Cleveland who has worked with Antony and the Johnsons and many other artists on the New York scene, as well as international artists like Marc Almond. She has also toured extensively with Current 93, playing piano and harp. Expect some Kurt Weil type renditions & some fireworks of outpouring emotion from this truly one off artist......
PAUL CURRERI "Spontaneous & poetic... playing unpredictably, altering his phrasing, his routines thankfully haven't been hammered into regular shape," says The Independent UK.
BLACK CARROT "As febrile and hostile as Van Der Graaf Generator, as pounding and grainy as Faust, as instinctive and mercurial as Can, this is one far-out combo. " Pat Fish/The Jazz Butcher
