MUNROE EFFECT
dan sutton: vocals andy waterman: guitar richard worrall: bass + vocals jack stephens: drums + vocals
although the name was chosen by pure co-incidence, the scientific meaning of munroe effect turns out to be quite relevant - this portsmouth-based quartet deal in a live performance that tears through your defences with a relentless agression delivered by an onslaught of jagged guitars, and a rhythm section based on a battering ram. however, once positioned in the centre of your attention, emotionally-loaded passages of epic noise and abrupt jazz interludes will spread through your body and secure them in your conciousness on a permanent basis.
it's this sound that led the band to the ears of london-based indie label function records in september 2007... their debut offering is double a-side "who's throwing rocks / subterranean death clash", out february 11th 2008 on limited-edition 7" vinyl and digital download.
combined with several tours planned for next year and a constantly-evolving sound coming from the rehearsal studio, 2008 is set to be an exciting year for munroe effect and anybody who's exposed to them along the way.
