Thrill Collins have recently returned from their second European tour (the third tour organised for the band by Kiss My Face). We won’t say too much as a full documentary will follow soon, but we can safely say that lots of food was eaten, beer drunk, fun had and friends made along the way. Here is a trailer to tease you…

This Town Needs Guns

admin — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:26:35 +0000

This Town Needs Guns played for Kiss My Face Music at Walk the Line Festival 2009.

Formed in 2006 they soon signed to the Big Scary Monsters Recording (UK), Sargent House (USA), Rallye (Japan) and Yellow Ghost Records (Australia).

Over the years the band’s musical style has progressed and changed, although the focal point of their style has been the impressive guitar work of Tim Collis interspersed with solid, and at points highly complex, drumming and sparse, melodic bass. Early releases however, featured more distorted chord progressions, as well as a strong focus on the interlinking melodies of both Collis and Smith’s guitars. More recently however, the band’s music has become more technical; making more use of asymetrical time signatures and complex accenting between guitar and drums, plus an abandonment of distortion and guitar effects, giving way to more complex melodies.

Talons

Talons played for Kiss My Face Music at Walk the Line Festival 2009 at the Frog and Fiddle. Talons are an instrumental band from Hereford. Forging the explosive energy of hardcore, the subtleties of post-rock and the fractured song structures and complexities associated with math-rock, Talons possess a fascinating sense of urgency and drive, with a sound that both soothes and savages in equal measure.

The band are best experienced in a live environment, where the visceral, raw energy of their music can be fully appreciated. So far the band have had the pleasure of sharing stages with some great bands such as iForward Russia!, 65 Days of Static, Future of the Left, Rolo Tomassi, Grammatics, Johnny Foreigner, Frank Turner, Tubelord, and tons of shows with Pulled Apart By Horses.

Sam Isaac

admin — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:17:33 +0000

Sam performed for Kiss My Face Music at Walk The Line Festival 2009 in an intimate gig at the Frog and Fiddle. Previously he has played the BBC electric proms with Edwyn Collins and played at fun festivals including Great Escape, Wireless, Glastonbury, Latitude, V Festival and Truck. Sam has played with many great artists, like Tellison, Dave House, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, Luke Leighfield, Johnny Foreigner, Scouting For Girls, Frank Turner, Pigeon Detectives, Goodbooks, Ben’s Brother, Kate Walsh, KT Tunstall, Athlete, The Fratellis and Walter Schreifels amongst others.

He has done sessions for Huw Stephens (Radio 1), Colin Murray (Radio 1), Zane Lowe (Radio 1), Janice Long (Radio 2) and John Kennedy (XFM). His songs have been played by Jo Whiley, Zane Lowe, Colin Murray, Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens on Radio 1, and also by John Kennedy and Steve Harris on XFM.

The Sam Isaac show frequently resembles an indie cottage industry. Friends make artwork, do recording, direct music videos and don clipboards. Perfect strangers sell his CDs. Sam’s part of the bargain is donning an acoustic guitar, a Casio keyboard or occasionally just his own voice and making the music that is at the centre of all of this.
