Zine & Not Heard/Vested Interest

About Time Festival has announced the line up for its third edition on the 29th November.

The all dayer will take place at Total Refreshment Studios in North London instead of it’s usual location at The Bussey Building in Peckham.

Just kidding, but not really.

Unfortunately while the emo scene has given us a fantastic slew of bands in the heavier side of the spectrum (Saetia, Orchid, iwrotehaikus, Cerce etc) a lot of these bands seem to break up without warning before we even get the chance to appreciate them, leaving empty holes in our sad angst ridden little hearts and leaving us to press our own bootleg Merchant Ships t-shirts and Seyarse patches to look cool for our Skramz-pals.

However for every screamo band that seems to put down their instruments, another 2 seem to pop up and pick up right where they left off. Despite the community, the emo scene itself is still very small and the heavier more abrasive side of it even smaller.

So to take a break from the twinkly FACGCE bands and bedroom folk heroes, I just thought I’d take the time to list a few bands in the scene that reside on the more heavier spectrum of the genre, and how they’re continuing to improve and expand the genre that the early 2000’s left us early-20-somethings to discover later in life once we’d been dumped enough times.

If you’re thinking the photo above looks familiar then either:

a. you’ve realised we’ve borrowed it from our good friends at Slothboat b. you’re wondering what Saam from Playlounge is doing with a guitar c. you’re one of those creepy “hey haven’t we met before” people

New tears, new fears HEY it must be 2014 already. After stuffing ourselves stupid during the whistle stop holiday break, we’ve made fists with our hands at the ready to take on the crusty froid post-christmas East Devon.

Starting the new year with a joint curation, indeed the awesome zine & not heard are getting involved in putting together a tremendous line up for the 1st RTJ of the year!!
