All Spells presents CHIMER - Emerging from a coastal gloom, CHIMER are Hastings answer to the collapse of the modern world. Marrying the scorched-earth feedback of The Jesus and Mary Chain with the frantic chemical-drenched energy of a 90s illegal rave the trio of continue to experimentally unravel a sonic bayeux tapestry. After constructing a wall-of-sound siege of a live show with towering guitar feedback and razing vocal delivery the group have been on the road playing shows alongside the likes of SilverwingKiller, Y and Pop Will Eat Itself. HONK a genre-warping six-piece that are here to rewire your idea of country music. It’s called “Trashcan Country” – a raucous, rough-edged twist on twang. It’s been dragged through the back alleys of punk, doused in garage-rock grit, and left to dry in the blazing sun. At the core of Honk is their electrifying live show — equal parts hoedown and meltdown — which has earned them support slots with trailblazers like Meryl Streak, Delivery, and Being Dead, as well as consistent backing from BBC 6 Music’s Marc Riley. TASTE OF CHERRY - five-piece Stage Gaze rock band from London, blending garage rock, punk and kraut rock. 12 APOSTLES - guitar/synth serenading duo backed by a drum machine.
