Epic an unyielding wall of sound noises crash in creating an exuberant amalgamation of My Bloody Valentine and Jesus and Mary Chain all with a melodic edge hidden beneath. This Sydney quartet has already created a buzz with their debut EP on Modular earlier this year. Watch out for more in 2009.

Royal Treatment Plant (London)

Entwining hard riffs together with delicate song structures, RTP jolt and stutter in a glorious Stadium rock fashion.

KASMs (London)

Magnetic rhythms, hypnotizing front woman and frenetic prickly melodies make KASMs sound like something that belongs hidden in a horror film. Part metal, part industrial and ear piercingly brilliant. Be afraid.
