This album showcases an eclectic array of style s\, from the symphonic approaches of “From the Weeping Cradle” and “ Lullaby for a Broken Dream” to the Canterbury flavours of “Faithless F olly” and the acid folk of “A Rite of Wrongs”. Sanderson and his ban d are a force to be reckoned with in the live arena\, as exemplified by Sa nderson’s newest release\, “Live Revelations”\, a live album recorde d at the Birmingham Symphony Hall.FLINT MOORE are an award-winning band wh o mix influences from 90s Grunge\, Post-Rock\, Prog\, and orchestral music . Explosive in their sound and stage presence\, they hold a unique voice\, one that's steeped in the complexities of human emotion and the inevitabi lities of life. Their sound is an exploration of hopeful despair\, a contr adiction that resonates through their music. They navigate the dualities o f existence - pain and death\, yet also openness and infinite possibility. Drawing inspiration from 90s and 00s icons like Tool\, Radiohead\, and Pea rl Jam\, they've carved a voice for themselves that respects their revolut ionary sounds while pushing their own boundaries.The last 18 months has se en the release of their debut album\, The Aches and The End\, and its thre e successful headline UK tours.“’The Aches and the End’ has all the makings of a classic already and could well be one of the most important a lbums of the twenty-first century.

Absolutel y jaw dropping\, a sublime work of art –“ Paul Monkhouse\, Metal Plane t Music(There will be an interval of approx. 90 minutes before the commenc ement of the evening set.)EVENING SET:ABRASIVE TREES take their name from a Buddhist description of a hallucination-like nightmare realm. Led by Mat thew Rochford (Silver Moth/Rothko)\, with Jay Newton (Quiet Quiet Band/Tal itha Rise)\, Will Tyler (Talitha Rise)\, Georgia Swallow (The Bridge) and visual artist Jess Wooller they display a willingness to experiment alongs ide a sound that sits loosely within an experimental rock\, or post-rock a esthetic. Exploring themes of loss\, turmoil\, and spiritual realisation\, they use a combination of distorted and reverb-drenched guitars\, intrica te melodies and driving drumbeats to create a sense of atmosphere and inte nsity. When they use lyrics they’re often cryptic and evocative\, painti ng vivid pictures of complex emotional landscapes.
