★ BIG HEAD MODE ★

Awesome psychedelic post-punk outfit clawing its way out of the swamps of Easton, Bristol. A dizzying blend of The Beatles’ melody, Sonic Youth’s noise, and The Fall’s sneer, their sound is an unpredictable trip—kaos pads, screeching feedback, electric toothbrushes, and rants that explode into soaring hooks
