Sonic Masala ramps up the noise for the launch of Birmingham?s Mutes? 4th album!

Mutes - Following acclaimed singles ?Mere Slaughter? and ?Televangelist?, one of Birmingham?s most prolific bands of recent years, Mutes release their most raw, yet engrossing record to date. ?...buried where you stand?, their upcoming 12-track fourth album, out on May 17th 2024.
Recorded almost entirely live as a 3-piece at Megatone studios with engineer Mark Gittins, for their 4th record the band stripped back the lavish technicolor method that defined their most recent albums - 2019?s Pareidolia and 2021?s Dreams of Being Cornered, and instead focused on the unfiltered immediacy found in their early work - whilst further finessing their ambiguous, genre-defying sonics. From the no-wave influenced ?Mere Slaughter?, to the lilting psychedelia of ?Perfumed Corpse? and the ambient drones of ?.cycles?, the band cover all this ground and more without compromising their own unique artistry.
Having played with the likes of Cloud Nothings, The Cribs, Omni, Battles, No Age and more, alongside their own headline shows around the country, Mutes have honed their ?post-everything? sound via their staunch work ethic; always with the end goal of creating an immersive album that flies in the face of the current climate?s ephemeral, single-centric culture.

Muscle Vest (London/Paris) - Formed in late 2018 and taking influence from bands such as Whores, KEN Mode, Pissed Jeans, and Converge, chaotic London noise-punks Muscle Vest reflect the struggle of the average person against an exploitative system within a crumbling state.

"Muscle Vest are one of the coolest bands out there."
- Operation X-Ray

"Muscle Vest pack in a boatload of adrenaline and bring ALL the noise: it?s fucking ugly and monstrously brutal, and those are its positive points. It ain?t polished or pretty, and if you?re on the market for something gnarly, look no further."
- Aural Aggression

Myopics - ?First up are locally based four-piece Myopics, who are also connected to the aforementioned Chameleon through venue owner John Rothera also playing guitar in the band. Although still only a new band themselves - their debut show was less than a year ago opening for Mclusky - Myopics have a dynamicism and energy well beyond their embryonic status. Fuelling post-hardcore noise rock tendencies that fall somewhere between Drive Like Jehu and And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, the quartet are definitely ones to watch for the future.? - Under The Radar
