SCUZZ TV - UK Throwdown Tour 2016

FEATURING ROTATING HEADLINERS

PRESS TO MECO
MAX RAPTOR
ALLUSONDRUGS

Influential rock TV station Scuzz are bringing together the hottest new rock acts in the UK for this unique tour of 16 dates next year. The tour features a rotating headline bill of Press to MECO, Max Raptor and Allusondrugs. The channel has been known to break many UK artists including Enter Shikari, Young Guns, You Me At Six, Bullet For My Valentine, Lower Than Atlantis and Mallory Knox.


PRESS TO MECO: are guitarist/vocalist Luke Caley, bassist/vocalist Adam Roffey and drummer/vocalist Lewis Williams, a trio on a relentless pursuit to harness their sound into a punchy, driving and visceral powerhouse, with aspirations of altering the current musical climate in the process. These 'musical outsiders' have found creative inspiration from bands like ‘SikTh’, ‘Dillinger Escape Plan’, ‘Rueben’, ‘Everything Everything’, ‘Manchester Orchestra’ and ‘Deftones’; to pop artists ‘ABBA’ and ‘Michael Jackson’. Hailing from Crawley/Croydon they perform off-kilter, unreasonably catchy songs, full of twists and turns. Alternating vocals blending into 3-part harmonies, coming together with sometimes beautiful, sometimes brutal, always overwhelmingly powerful instrumental breakdowns. The ideal mix of technicality and catchiness delivered with pop sensibilities that are tongue-in-cheek and just plain fun. Probably the biggest influence on PTM has been the live circuit. Two appearances at Download Festival, a main stage show at UK Tech-Metal Fest, The Great Escape, Hevy Fest, countless shows with the likes of Don Broco, Allusondrugs, ACODA and more have helped developed the band into one of the most exciting live acts in the UK!
They release their 2nd single ‘Diffusion of Responsibility’ from their debut album ‘Good Intent’ through Best Before Records worldwide on 5th February 2016.


ALLUSONDRUGS – the five piece hail from West Yorkshire and formed in the summer of 2012. Since then, their very individual take on a melding of psych-pop-shoegaze-grunge has caught the eyes and ears of the likes of Kerrang and Rock Sound, plus BBC's Radio One and 6Music stations, as well as live audiences across the UK. Late 2014 / early 2015 saw the band beginning to build a solid fan-base following high-profile support tours and shows with Enter Shikari, Marmozets, Lonely The Brave and Pulled Apart By Horses. An extensive period of headline touring through April / May 2015, a packed festival season across the summer, and a co-headline tour with fellow Yorkshiremen Brawlers, along with the release of the Magic College / Her Crown 7” on Too Pure and the limited edition Am I Weird? CD EP only saw the buzz continue to build. They recently supported We Are The Ocean and have a string of their own headline shows this month.


MAX RAPTOR - having recently announced signing to indie label Hassle Records, the band have just released their latest EP ‘Damage Appreciation’, produced by Jag Jago (Ghost Of A Thousand, Macabees, Xcerts). This punk rock four piece are from Burton-upon-Trent in the Midlands and comprises of members Wil Ray (vocals), Pete Reisner (drums), Matt Stevenson (bass) and Ben Winnington (guitar). The band, who are regarded as one of the most vital British rock bands combining rock n' roll and a partisan punk attitude, recently spoke about their latest EP, and what to expect from the follow up, due in the Spring of 2016 : “The EP ventures into the amalgamation that is the British Political scene, depression in men in the 21st century, the resistible rise of right leaning extremist statesmen & finally the regurgitation of mainstream media production. The album will not be a far cry from this, almost an arm to it. With the plethora of dire circumstances around the World, it would be unjust to ignore them when we're penning the new tracks."
