Paper Cut Out
PAPER CUT OUT is a band residing in Newcastle Upon Tyne, U.K., formed about four years ago by Barry Wardle (Bass/Vocal), John Coburn (Drums) and Adam Gilhespy (Guitar/Vocal)
Their music is described as "tightly controlled chaos" and "near unintelligible yet strangely captivating". A compelling live band, their performances "disconcerting and confrontational". "Never mind stage presence, this band have venue presence".
Their recorded output consists of one, long sold out double A side 7"single ('Rats/Less A Roof, More A Ceiling, released on Jealous Records in 2003), and a handful of self released material.
What the press say:
"With the same urgency of early Fugazi or Nation Of Ulysses, the rhythmic thrust of Sweep The Leg Johnny and the tightly controlled chaos of a free jazz combo of their faces on something nasty, over the course of two short sharp electric shocks Newcastle's Paper Cut Out stake their claim as one of the most exciting new bands in the post hardcore/punk underworld." Ben Myers for Kerrang Magazine (five fuckin Ks too), review of 'rats!' single.
"First song is a short sharp burst of spazzy, jazzy, off-kilter post-punk - immediately afterwards the crowd turn and look at each other as if to say “whoa..what was that?!”.
It’s obviously something special. To say this band have stage presence would be doing them an injustice, these guys have venue presence. Constantly moving and intensely passionate. They’re rocking out and they’re loving it. So are we. Fast, tight, innovative. Astounding. If only it’d lasted longer. Clocking off after around 25 minutes, this is still one of the most enjoyable sets I’ve EVER seen." Michael Wilson for BBC Northern Ireland, review of live show.
"As disconcerting and confrontational as they appear, they chew and regurgitate dirty, fetid noise that’s near unintelligible but strangely captivating. Feverishly unwell and rabid, Paper Cut Out may be quite sick but their sound is far from ugly. In fact, a closer inspection reveals a whole set of discernable riffs steroid-boosted by even sicker dynamics and noise. Paper Cut Out are the undisputed kings of a twisted din that’d give The Jesus Lizard or even The Ex-Models a serious arm-wrestle." Manchester Music website, review of a live show.
"...a trio of little conventional jazz." Badly translated Spanish website.
"If Gang Of Four were a red dwarf (Paper Cut Out) would be their neutron star." Audience member in conversation after a performance in Dublin.

Tigers!
TIGERS! aka Tigers!3000-funkadelic
4 fully grown men, 8 big hairy balls
1 scientific academic wizard
1 musician
1 Dicko
1 total dude
All adept robotic dancers
No bass player
No social skills
Tigers! are a squall of midnight ideas, played by a group of “men” that are as wrong as the waiting room at Dr Freud’s.
Virtuoso musicianship abounds as guitar noise and keyboard pop are played with the spirit of serious soul funk.
Tigers! have played with all the big touring bands coming through Leeds and have toured loads, being consistently weirder than their audience’s expectations and now they’re ready to be loved by the people of Ireland, and they’re dressed to impress as always like a pack of over-sexed paedos. You really will be laughing, dancing and feeling slightly embarrassed. Not your average band, they put on a show, and a spectacle, to remember.

EIGER
More belters than John Wayne has shot red indians
Eiger perform live at the aligning of the planets, dusting off their mobile confessional every once in a while to ease their consciences.
Counting a fully ordained minister as a singer, Eiger combine righteous anger with righteous grooves and a varied palette of rock influences to make music for people with a short attention span.
Enormous crescendo paired with understated touching melody and vocal harmonies is the norm, and they don’t muck about letting you make your own mind up, it’s show-time… all the time.
