Jarred Up Presents: Avalanche Party 

“The most exciting rock & roll band in the UK right now” - JACK SAUNDERS, BBC RADIO 1

“A tsunami of mega riffs and eardrum-popping bass lines. Definitely don’t want to wear your Sunday best to one of their raucous gigs” - NME

“An absolute tour de force, their boundless energy and breathtaking performance truly sets them apart. By far one of the most thrilling bands you will see in the UK” - LOUDER THAN WAR

Today, (28th November 2024) Yorkshire feral garage-punk band Avalanche Party release new single ‘Shake The Slack’, a commanding, psychedelic-dance track and call to arms. The track features on their forthcoming album ‘Der Traum Uber Alles’ on 7th February via AMK, Kartel Music Group’s alternative music imprint. Listen to ‘Shake The Slack’ here.

Vocalist Jordan Bell speaks on the track, “This is about the noble process of taking the slack and shaking it. Whipping that angel delight into shape. The great reckoning cometh. We took a lot of takes in the studio to get it as crisp as possible, lots of slave-driving going on”.

Guitarist Jared Thorpe adds, “From the birth of the initial idea, this song went around the world four times before it learnt how to speak. It was like a painting that was painted over a hundred times, ripped apart daily for months. It kind of got to the point where it finished itself”.

Lazy Thinking Live: An Inspiring and Intimate Evening of Literature and Music

Here it is. The opener. The big one. The who-know’s-what-the-hell-is-going-on-but-it-damn-looks-like-a-lot-of-fun, first-ever, all singing, all dancing Library of Lazy Thinking Live Show.

To mark this special occasion, it is an absolute honour and pleasure to bring you readings from the wonderful and inspiring humans that go by the names of David Keenan, Helen Mort, and Lias Saoudi, not to mention live music from the always excellent Andrew DR Abbott and the ever-eccentric Loic J Tuckey.

Plus, as well as live performances, casual chat, and potentially enforced fun, there’ll be a pop-up bookshop from Novel’s rather wonderful Kate and Joe. It means you can drink booze AND buy books, all while Lias Saoudi looks at you suspiciously from across the room.

I mean, it’s the stuff dreams are made of, right?

It’s all going down (in two parts and an old-school intermission) at Sidney & Matilda’s in Sheffield on Thursday 20th March, from 7pm until late. You should probably come—it’ll be good.

Tickets are limited and it’s first come first served.

Pulled Apart By Horses

Pulled Apart By Horses are a potent force within the alternative rock scene - less a gang, more a fucked-up family. Formed in 2008 and existing in its own chaotic ecosystem, PABH embarked on relentless tours with frenetic live performances. The Leeds trio make and perform music that thrills and menaces. In Sept 2022, after a period of reflection and transformation, PABH released their long-awaited 5th album, ‘Reality Cheques’. Creating songs delivered with raw urgency, the band changed their approach with Hudson ditching his guitar and focusing on vocals, distilling their lineup to guitar, bass and drums creating a vital new feel.

“The fat was trimmed! We spent months playing the songs in our practice space & on an ‘up close and personal’ tour, heading into the studio to capture the tracks live, tour tight and locked in!”

A 7” vinyl featuring ‘First World Problems’ / ‘Rinse & Repeat’, saw PABH landing at #2 in The UK Vinyl Singles Chart. ‘First World Problems’ - ‘’is a voiced frustration towards our groomed, individualist society. Our real & online worlds are full of constant venting of trivial annoyances, as if they are the centre of the universe when there are more pressing matters out there.’’ 'Rinse & Repeat’ is ‘’Inspired by seeing Ziggy Stardust standing in line at the JobCentre, it’s more punk rock than Iggy advertising life insurance.”

Tom Hudson – Vocals Robert John Lee – Guitar, backing vocals Tommy Davidson-Hawley – Drums
