S.C.U.M

The suitably named S.C.U.M got their name from radical feminist Valerie Solanas' Society For Cutting Up Men Manifesto, which calls for the gendercide of all men. The dark name reflects their Gothic/Punk/Atmospheric sound which they have been playing across London since forming in 2008. Their debut release "Visions Arise" is a mesmerising anthem where you can see a clear Bauhaus and Joy Division influence in the echoing vocals.

S.C.U.M now have a series of releases under the title 'S.i.G.N.A.L.S'. The first release is going to be 'Warsaw' due to be out on 27th April. This will mark the start of their U.K tour and on the 29th April will be gracing us their their presence at Josephs Well. If you weren't lucky enough to see their memorable performance at Cockpit in October 08 they are definitely a band to see live. Their raw sounds, strobe lighting and front man Thomas Vain's theatrical performance leaves you not really sure what you just witnessed, but you know it was good.

On the 27th S.C.U.M are also going to be joined by the excellent An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump + more TBC.
