Description

Last year on June 13th, Tellison released their long awaited second album via Naim records. Their first album Contact! Contact! put the band on the map and received nothing but great reviews.

Their second effort doesn’t disappoint. The album slightly parts from the gritty and electric sound they did so well four years back and sees them head towards well-written and perfectly constructed hooks whilst still impressing with their informative lyrical content and energetic presence.

It’s a combination of two critically acclaimed albums and high-octane live shows that allow Tellison to rise above their contemporaries. This is their first performance in Brighton since 2009 where they supported Johnny Foreigner so is not to be missed.

F.F.O. Jimmy Eat World, Idlewild, Young Knifes

“The Wages Of Fear 9/10” - Rocksound

“…enthusiasm and passion. ‘Disaster! Disaster!’ has the rowdy audience singing back every word, and it isn’t long before crowd surfers start emerging from within the mass of bodies.” The Fly

“Every so often, there is an album that transcends the limitations of a genre and implores people to depart their musical safety zones; The Wages of Fear achieves just that.” Red Hot Velvet

JUMPING SHIPS

Brighton based indie/punk/math-core heavyweights released their second EP Standard Bearer last year. After becoming the first unsigned band to headline Club NME, Jumping Ships have grown and grown in popularity making them the biggest band in Brighton.

Their fan base doesn’t stop in East Sussex. They’ve continued to impress all over the country and also all over the web with none stop positive and exciting reviews.

This is their first show in Brighton of 2012 and they aid in forming a stella line up that makes this gig one of the most talked about shows in the New Year.

“One of the most interesting and exciting bands to come out of Brighton in years” Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6

“Most impressive for their dynamic range and song structures, Jumping Ships, despite being quite busy instrumentally, never seem to detract from the consistently strong lead vocals…” 4/5 Tom Aylott, Punktastic.com

SKY HARBOUR

We’re pleased to announce that Sky Harbour complete this fantastic line up.

Last March these guys released their first EP after only a short period of being a band. Their name soon became well known around Brighton and the surrounding areas due to catchy guitar riffs and front man Josh Rowley’s charismatic persona when on stage.

Brighton Source: ‘Accomplished alternative rock is one thing, but this is inventive, catchy and commercial - boding well for 2011’

Alter The Press: ‘Good chunky riffs with compelling melodies to match and it hints of more to come’

GODARD – Mathcore/emo/punk from Brighton. FFO Bloc Party, Tellison, Saves The Day
