New Jersey boys Cymbals Eat Guitars take America indie (they sometime sound like Modest Mouse) then add an extra dollop of shoegazey feedback here, a pile of dancey hooks there, ooh they're good. Terry Lynn is from Kingston Jamaica and spits out rivetting tales of ghetto life with hard, fizzing beats. First up tonight are Joe Gideon & the Shark, a hot-enough-to-cook-your-dinner-on blues-punk brother and sister from London. Rough Trade bring us a mixed bag of magic, same as ever!
