The Facemelter: Alright The Captain, Iran Iran, Porshyne

Three heroes of math rock, alternative and post-rock travel from different corners of the UK to unite and form this amazing lineup at Chaos Theory's monthly night.

-----------------------
Alright The Captain

Masterfully combining virtuosic instrumentalism with unabashed musical experimentation, Derby-based trio ATC have effortlessly established themselves as a sonic force to be reckoned with, thanks to their increasingly inimitable, uniquely imaginative brand of math-rock. Their sprawling and varied career has seen them sharing stages with post-rock luminaries including Mono, toe, 65daysofstatic, Pelican, Tera Melos, ASIWYFA, Maybeshewill, Adebisi Shank (RIP), This Will Destroy You, ZU and many more.

Their new album 'Contact Fix' has gone down a storm.

"It dives in and out of math rock, prog and post rock – but, at its heart, it’s different." - Musical Mathematics

"Without sacrificing their virtuosity the trio have embraced a denser, more satisfying sound to corral the head bangers as well as the beat-counters." - London In Stereo

-----------------------
Iran Iran

Another supremely talented bunch of musicians who stunned and impressed all who saw them at ArcTanGent last year. With insanely complex rhythms and thunderously heavy riffs, the four-piece from Bristol have evolved since their excellent first EP 'Crystal Math' and are packing a punch.

They've played with Future Of The Left, Cleft, Alright The Captain, This Town Needs Guns, You Slut!, Alpha Male Tea Party, Death Pedals and many others. Fans of complex musical wizardry or heavy riffs will love their new EP 'Milk Time For Spiders'.

Porshyne

Fantastically crunchy riffs from these Brightoners, who dance between ambient intervals and melodic vocals to intensely intricate prog rock riffs. With just a few single releases and a session filmed by Small Pond Recordings, they already sold out their first headline show in Brighton. This is your chance to catch the band before their career takes off.

"‘Blown away ‘ is an overused phrase these days but a huge understatement in the case of Porshyne." - MetalMouth.Net
