Album 'Quicker Than Khan' out now on TNS Records. www.myspace.com/theemos
TORTURO NERVOSA Hulking angular rock beasts from Perth bring the rukus with their brash brand of twisted punk rock'n'roll in the MoMeansNo/Shellac/McLusky (anti) mould. Since forming a little over a year ago, these nutters have gigged all over the UK and are currenly pimping their new 'Autopsy?' EP. www.myspace.com/torturobervosawillkillyou

GRADER 'Formed in 2008, refined in 2009', these lacerating Aberdeen-based troops bring a refreshingly bleak approach to modern hardcore punk'n'roll and sound to me like The Bronx falling out with Cancer Bats.

YEAR AT SEA Shouty yet fragile, jarring yet melodic post-hardcore/emo jamz from the east coast 'supergroup' featuring members of Archives, Santo Caserio and TFOBK.

THE HIJACKS Invigorating, uplifting, jubilant and uber-danceable,these political ska-punk legends from Aberdeen are visiting Dundee for the first time in far too long.
