Erotic Secrets Of Pompeii (Bristol-based)Weird apocalyptic lounge music - a twisted amalgamation of angular art rock and transgressive post-punk band

Off Screen Dog (Newcastle-based)
Newcastle-based four piece Offscreen Dog play lyrically minimal Rock and Roll. All the songs sound different, all have the same spirit somehow. Mantras and noises. No one's the singer, everyone's the singer.
