Another band playing Les-Fest in June is Artisfiction (or Art.Is.Fiction if you go by their logo). The bill themselves as “heavy / expression / hip-hop” which I suppose covers a few bases.
They definitely are quite a fusion of style and at risk of a lynching, the band they actually remind me of most is Terrorvision wrapped in sandpaper. That is, they’re rougher round the edges and definitely edgier than the pop-rockers, but the hip-hop style rapid-fire vocals definitely bear a resemblance to Tony Wright’s.
As I said, though, this is wrapped up on something rougher and edgier giving an overall heavier sound to the band as a whole.
To save me wittering any more and trying to explain it just right, have a listen to “Get ‘Em To The Butchers”:
