Derry band Wyldling

听

With a new video for their track 'Siren' having just hit the interwebs, we thought it would be perfect timing to catch up with Derry four-piece electro-rock outfit Wylding to discover all kinds of factoids about the band in this week's edition of The Making Of:听

(Glenn Rosborough)听The first record i bought was听Lenny Kravitz听'Greatest Hits'.

(David Kirby) The last record I bought听was 'Epicloud' by the . The guy's a genius!

(Phil Curran)听The one gig that made me want to be in a band听was听Such As听in the Nucleus.

听

(Jilly St John) One musician that inspired me to start performing?听Gawd there have been so many over the years, bearing in mind I witnessed the 80's. I love watching live shows in general especially Prince, Queen, Black Sabbath, Nirvana to name a couple, but I have to say I've always been drawn to strong female figures from a young age. Artists like Kate Bush, Patti Smith, Blondie, Madonna, and in my late teens No Doubt, Juliette Lewis. My list is endless. Performance has always just been there since I could walk and string a sentence together.听

Bantum Legion album cover

听

This week鈥檚 That New Band Smell features some ridiculously talented new acts - the kind of bands that make you want to get up off your behind and start a record label just so you can share them with the world. I鈥檓 and here are some of songs that鈥檝e been on repeat in my stereo this month, I hope you鈥檒l enjoy them as much as I do.

First up are the September Girls who describe themselves as sounds from a transistor radio abandoned in an old cinema. They鈥檙e unique in the fact that they鈥檙e an all female band with an awesome drummer on board called Sarah Grimes. Two of the members, Paula and Caoimhe, used to be in the and then , so they鈥檝e been making music together for a few years. They recently released 'Green Eyed' (below) on 7鈥 via Soft Power Records who are based in Glasgow and they鈥檝e just joined DIY label Matinee Recordings in the States. Their stuff kind of reminds me of the and they鈥檙e currently working on their debut album and that will be available sometime next year.

Savour Your Scene Fest

听

Northern Irish independent metal/hardcore label, are having their first ever mini fest this Saturday at the Warzone Collective, Belfast.

Being a one stop shop for "punk & crust fans, hardcore kids, those into their thrash and metal and those simply wanting to indulge in some loud music", it was a simple choice for this week's 'Gig of the Week'.

We spoke to Savour Your Scene founder and drummer,听Stephen Currie about the day festival this Saturday:

**

"I wanted to not only highlight the talent Belfast currently has, but also bring bands from the south giving them exposure in this growing Belfast scene.听We've 7 bands on the bill (4 from the North, 3 from the South)."

"Picking the bill was pretty easy, most of the bands are on the label and we have worked closely to help release their music.听听are making an appearance as personally I'm just a straight up huge fan, and听听I chose as I like to give new bands an opportunity to network and get gig contacts to get them off the ground and outside of their comfort zone. Basically since forming the label I've always wanted to get all the bands on the one bill, sadly By Any Means can't join us for this one... maybe next time!"

"Also Saturday's a celebration! Paul () is having his stagg at it, so congratulation to him and his lovely wife to be, and it's a leaving party, as Ryan () is playing is last show with the band to pursue his personal projects. All in all, it's going to be mental craic!"

**
Gacy Threads, Ilenkus, Lantern for a Gale, Three Hour Ceasefire, Hornets, Milestones and Pigs As People all play the Savour Your Scene Fest #1 at the Warzone Collective, Belfast this Saturday the 24th of November.
