Distorted Tapes' HOMETOWN STRATEGIES All-Dayer 2014

Now in it's third year (can you believe it?!) Distorted Tapes returns to the Haygate for it's annual All-Dayer, and so far it's shaping up to be bigger and better then ever!

This year as always we've been working our socks off to bring you a bill that showcases some of the most exciting bands from Telford alongside a load of very excellent acts from the Midlands and beyond. We hope you are a...s excited about this line-up as we are!

Bad Grammar | https://soundcloud.com/badgrammar
Fizz-popping, fuzzy rawk from Manchester (via Telford). Give the Eveready rabbit a run for his money in the energy stakes.

Doppelganger | http://youtu.be/DEpVi3ii794
An explosive eight-legged riff machine out of Wrexham, this band will blow you away.

WAX FUTURES | http://waxfutures.bandcamp.com/
Slacker post-hardcore, slow-cooked the Telford way, with a twist of lemon.

BURNING ALMS | http://burningalms.bandcamp.com/
Recently signed to Smalltown America Records, lo-fi Brummies feat. former members of Distophia and Calories.

Fauxchisels | http://fauxchisels.bandcamp.com/
Marital duo from the wilds of Staffordshire spring-loaded with twisted pop gems that will spin around your head for days.

New Alaska | http://newalaska.bandcamp.com/
They put it best in their own words: "Post hardcore served up with a slice of post punk side salad." Stourbridge's finest.

Drain | https://drainuk.bandcamp.com/
Fresh Telfordian grunge for you to wrap your ears around.

Plus more still to be announced!

The Distorted Tapes store will also be open for business, giving you a chance to pick up records from the likes of God Damn, Them Wolves and LF.

So make sure you mark this in your diaries, you'd have to be mad to miss out!

DT DJs for God Damn headline show

Our buddies over at Counteract and Birmingham Promoters have invited Distorted Tapes to spin some discs at God Damn's upcoming headline show at the Hare & Hounds, Kings Heath.

I am over the moon to be along for the ride - after all the hard work and tough times God Damn are finally there! Support will come from our boys Them Wolves and the Distorted Tapes approved Youth Man and Victor.

Expect to hear some choice cuts on the wheels of steel from the likes of Helmet, The Longcut, Jawbox, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Fauxchisels, EMBLD... and Limp Bizkit.

Tickets are available direct from BP and are likely to sell out so get on it quickly. This is one show that in 20 years time Brummies will all be saying they were there!
