New major key maximalist minimalist guitar/taishogoto duo from Esme Newman (northern DIY lifer of Fashion Tips, Penance Stare, Etai Keshiki, Commiserations and more) and Theo Gowans (yes Territorial Gobbing). Non-breaks-ever-churning up and outta here
Askasong
Duo spontaneous hops from popform to popform through the tides of in-the-momentness, technicolour keyboards, jangle guitar and jerking loops from Hilary Knott (Cowtown, Dim Ots and Heinous Whining Takeover #1) and Odie Ji Ghast on vocals channeled from somewhere timeless and soulfull (Historically Fucked, Bad@Maths)
Alex Izaak Milling
Plumbing prepared guitar and voice through the electro-acoustic clever computer music garlic press into spacious (sometimes quadrophonic) hyper-complex electronic heft

Error Control
Noise music as noise music true believer. Blindfolded pedal feedback absurdist mayhem in celebration at its own transcendent grin inducing pointed less-ness. Harsh but fair. Also recognisable as the destructive yang of No Disc
Sam Spencer & Iris Casling
Two fresh faced stalwarts of the no-wave bizarro rock/jazz textured free improv venn diagram overlap zone operating in Newcastle’s own No Teeth and the much-beloved-now-defunct Bela Spit. Sam? Prepared trumpet using bird mimic and frankenstined mouthpieces while Iris tames the double bass into it’s place. Spontaneous music you know what’s on the menu
Territorial Gobbing
Scattershot nearly-music solo effort blending tapework, minimalism, garbled synth pop and anything else to hand into big emotions performative things
