Set Your Goals
Set Your Goals have announced a string of UK dates with Make Do And Mend & Spycatcher in May 2012. The tour will kick off on May 20th in Tunbridge Wells and is going on sale Friday, Jan 20th.
“We are excited to return to England for some headlining shows this May with our good friends in Make Do And Mend and Spycatcher” says singer Matt Wilson. “SYG has a lot of love for the UK and we are really looking forward to this run of shows. Can’t wait to see you all there!"
Set Your Goals will be performing in support of their latest album Burning At Both Ends, which was released in summer of 2011 via Epitaph Records. Rock Sound UK (8/10) called it “anthemic” (..), with just the right blend of punk attitude and pop genius”. While Kerrang! stated that the band “have stepped up their game on this record, boasting some real songwriting chops”. And according to Big Cheese (5/5), with this album the band have “reaffirmed their status as one of the best pop-punk bands around right now”.

Stig Noise
If you have not listened to them, i would say they are a crossover like Fugazi featuring vintage Casio tones and trumpet in more danceable way! When you hear their power drums surrounded by cheapy Casio tones, trumpet and DJ scratching together, you would totally be on the raptures!

Alright the Captain
A Midlands' ace three-piece are also coming to support HOU Project and and HOU Project! They should not only be called Math but also influenced by a bit of factor of shoegaze and hard aspect. The result of their original style brought experimentally new-age alternative. They are such a live band, you will find what it does mean from their performance which is organised very well.
http://alrightthecaptain.bandcamp.com/
Mr Maracaille
Stig Noise are bringing this metal cellist from France! He pedals two bass drums at the same time playing his cello. He could be said like a FrenchI Zach Hill (Hella) got mad cello!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a6D3VAHRuQ
Plus more, a front guy from Bo Ningen, who often shares similar sphere of music with HOU Project, agrees to join and support HOU Project this time again! It could fairly be meaningful even only to come and see his selection of the DJ for this night! DJ: Taigen (Bo Ningen) -

Onelinedrawing Live
Dave McPherson Live
Katie Malco Live- Entry: £9
- Doors: 8pm-12am
- Tickets »
- More Details
Jonah Matranga aka Onelinedrawing is essentially unique. His music is somewhere in between Nick Drake, Cheap Trick and Sinead O’Connor… but not really. Over the last 15 years, he’s fronted rock bands (Far, Gratitude, New End Original) and made more solo-ish albums as onelinedrawing and simply under his name. He’s made records with budgets ranging from $300 to $300,000.
For his latest album, ‘You’re All Those Things And Then You’re None’, Jonah first released solo acoustic versions of the songs, then put those basic tracks up for people to add their own ideas. It’s exciting in concept and execution — and surprisingly cohesive. On one track, ‘Happy-Hee’, upwards of 30 singers (including Kimya Dawson) ended up being part of a fittingly tender, odd collage. The album ranges from rocking and strident (‘This Is Who I’m Gonna Be’, ‘Hold On’) to poppy and idiosyncratic (‘Sweet Life’ and ‘I Just Died In The Air’, the latter of which is a synth-fueled, hooky, lyrical pastiche of countless iconic 80s tunes) to sparse and touching (‘You Belong To Me’, ‘Secret World’).

Extra Life
Since 2008 Extra Life has challenged and seduced various underground scenes by fusing the obsessive intricacy of minimalist composition, the suicidal swoon of Morrissey, the epic strength of Metal and the solemn purity of Medieval chant. With a pedigree including Zs, Dirty Projectors and Dax Riggs, the band’s dark, dramatic sound, labeled by some as “Plague Pop”, has been called everything from “genius” to “pretentious” to “religious".

"Dignan Porch are several matches made in heaven. all the way from exotic tooting, the group touch down into the effects-heavy shoegaze/dream pop world with some lovely vocals and harmonics but they really fly when they unashamedly let loose on the slacker guitar-hero stuff. Bursting with coolness and melodies to kill or die for." - Rough Trade

"After being a band for three years, and following a lot of thinking, we have decided to lay this to rest. Life caught up with us. I imagine you'll hear from us in other projects in the future but for Kerouac, we've taken it as far as we can. We're just four best friends that started jamming in a bedroom and never expected to do as much as you've allowed us to.
We're doing one last show at The Old Blue Last, London on Saturday 7th July, it's Free. The line up will be made up of best friends and we'll be giving these songs the best send off possible. We'll let you know how you can attend in due time.
Tangled Talk and Holy Roar will be releasing a Discography 12" this summer, we're putting together artwork right now but we assure you it will be special.
Thankyou for everything, it's meant the world."

Suis La Lune
Suis La Lune are one of those screamo bands from abroad that are so good, you associate them with the long-gone likes of Raein, La Quiete or DaÏtro. The thing is, they’re not broken up or from Italy. They’ve actually been kicking it since 2005 around Sweden, more specifically in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Even so, they’ve played more than 80% of their shows outside of the country, spending their time instead on a handful of tours in the UK and the east coast (the boys have a sweet spot for Baltimore). Their discography swelled as a result and includes: several tour 7”s, splits, a self-titled release as well as Quiet, Pull the Strings! LP and 2008’s Heir. Touring with new labelmates Pianos Become the Teeth in April 2011 was where they hit their stride, however. Suis La Lune’s traditional screamo sound paired with Goodtime Boys brand of hardcore is a perfect match on tour.
http://www.facebook.com/suislalunee
Goodtime Boys
Tread a line between the aggression of hardcore-punk and the frail intensity of melodic screamo, drawing frequent comparisons to bands like La Dispute and Defeater.

We Came Out Like Tigers
