HAMMER, BANSHEE LABYRINTH, EDINBURGH, MARCH 24 2023

 Venue: BANSHEE LABYRINTH, EDINBURGH

Line-up:

HAMMER: Local thrash-metal bruisers, down to a 4-piece for the night due to guitarist Dave's intestinal disorder. Apparently, he 'shit his pants'... Still, they seemed to manage well enough.







OLIVER WARDELL & PERSONNEL: Technically, this was their gig, as they were promoting their new single. An odd mix of a band - a bit funky, a bit metal, even a bit grindcore-y, maybe. And why not?





 

BRASSER: Noisy Glaswegian alt-rock/metal duo, inhabiting a place somewhere between Biffy Clyro and Tuskar. Joined on stage at one point by Oliver Wardell for a rousing cover of Meshuggah's 'Demiurge'





HINTENVELTER: Bit of an odd addition to this bill, to be honest,but very welcome nonetheless. They describe themselves as 'grunge/rock/funeral pop' but there's all sorts of other things in there too, even a little hint of latin-america. Guitarist and keyboard player were brand new for this gig, having only been in the band for three days. Fast learners,apparently.

Sludge, chaos and riffs. I'm guessing that NOTAFLOF is not some kind of Pokemon, but means 'No one turned away for lack of funds...
