We at Bring The Noise UK are big fans of Better Noise Records, so when they invited us down to a showcase featuring some of their most exciting bands we jumped at the chance.
It's always a risk for a band to make changes to their sound and their creative process, but by taking one, O'Brother have produced probably their most haunting, experimental, thought-provoking record to date.
Is there anything the Simpson brothers can't do? Free from record labels and any significant levels of expectation, Once Upon a Dead Man have produced an EP that shows they don't just work with guitars, and adds another string to their bows. As if they needed any more.
