Sheffield’s DIY punk queer emo five-piece, Slash Fiction will be at the Pump in Trowbridge on Wednesday 20th November as part of their nationwide tour. A winter-warming double-header with their tour buddies, London’s math-emos, The Yacht Club, and Devizes’ own upcoming nu-gaze band Enguun, with Steatopygous drummer Ewan Middleton….
Comparable to Get Up Kids and The Wonder Years, Slash Fiction, recently released their debut album, Gender, Trauma & Friendship, which Kieran J Moore of the Pump hailed as his album of the year. They also claim The Yacht Club are equally as wonderful; “think math-y guitars a la American Football combined with a Jimmy Eat World pop sensibility,” they said. Four members fighting their guitars, The Yacht Club define their style as Revival-Revival Math Rock and have an EP out called IDTTIARTBWY.
It’s unusual for the Pump to be open for a Wednesday night show. “This will either prove that we’re mentalists OR that Trowbridge is great throughout the week, and not just at weekends,” they said.
Engunn proved a hit at Devizes Youth Action Group’s club nights in February and June. Our reviewer Florence Lee said, “when Enguun went onto the stage, I was simply blown away. They are insane. My ears were in euphoria as soon as Ewan Middleton and Joshua Allen started to bless the audience with their music. As a musician, their ability to capture audience attention and put everyone in a trance-like state of freaking out was out of this world.”
