More Information

An Axe

An Axe

An Axe are a melancholy blend of Nick Cave melodrama, Shadows twang and Roy Orbison croon. Formed in the Autumn of 2008 by members of various bands from the Decorum stable, a shared love of Werner Herzog & 1950s pop led the four members to create a sound thats simple and direct; relying on song writing and melody to lift songs as opposed to layers of effects. They attempt to weave dense tapestries with sparse arrangements and meld the personal with the historical. An albums worth of songs were written in kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms across Bristol before being whittled down to a concise statement of intent in four track debut EP 'Some, When Alone, Cease To Exist'. Recorded in the depths of a church crypt in the middle of winter by their pianist, James A Holland, the EP captures the claustrophobic nature of the surroundings whilst evoking the high plains soundscapes of Ennio Morricone. An Axe have quickly built a reputation for themselves on the Bristol live circuit and since forming just under a year ago have shared the stage with White Denim, Hjaltalin, Tall Firs, Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, The Twilight Sad, Rose Kemp and many more.

War Against Sleep

Join the War! Duncan Fleming's piano led misery-ballads wrap you in your security blanket whilst whispering that there is a ghost outside, as traumatic as beautiful songs can be. War Against Sleep's music is as Dark as anything Nick Cave or John Cale ever wrote whilst all the time having a playful pop sensibility. One of the greatest songwriters in the south west if not the country and an intense live performer with two albums released on Fire Records.

Howlin' Lord

Howlin' Lord

Howlin' Lord's influences range from the Mountain Gospel music of Hank Williams and the Carter family to the Velvet Underground through Black Flag and Neil Young. The first release with the full band lineup, The Blackheart Sessions E.P. has been reviewed as..'Bristol's finest former one-man-band, now surrounded by a posse of like minded local heroes for this brisk canter through beers, tears, loser, liars, and sinners. Bleak, broken-hearted and classy.'****
