Album Review: Arms & The Man - Arms & The Man EP

Arms & the Man don't take themselves very seriously. Don't get it twisted, we're not talking Bloodhound Gang or Bowling for Soup levels of frolics and laxity, but the Hertfordshire 5-piece's approach is anything but stringent and articulate. They themselves describe their sound as "very immature, devoid of emotion and very bloody rock". Lovely.

At three tracks long their latest, self-titled, EP is over almost as soon as it begins, but manages to provide a feast of hard rock, a ruthlessly driven punk/metal hybrid.

Album Review: Toodar/The October Game - Flash Floods and Wildfire Split EP

Toodar and The October Game have come together to create more of a collaborative piece than simply a split EP. Demonstrated quite brilliantly in opening track ‘Flash Floods And Wildfire’, a song that sees the two bands come together to co-write. Taking the electronic elements of Toodar and introducing these effortlessly to The October Game’s slow build of folk rock, with the two lead vocalists taking an equal role with - as you can expect - delicious vocals.

Things then get back to normal proceedings, with The October Game ‘Boxing Underwater’. The track builds with heavy pulses and a delicate vocal from Luke Williams, before guitars enter the arrangement along with a deep bass and pulsing beat. These lads effortlessly bring together elements from folk and Americana while introducing electronics which really help to keep this band well clear of obvious comparisons while creating quite stunning harmonies.

Interview: Scylla Records

3 years ago Richard Hughes and Ross Packman formed Scylla Records, and has since gone to establish itself, as one of the top up and coming UK independent labels. With a back catalogue includes releases from US bands such as Valencia and Just Surrender, as well as UK bands like Out Of Sight and Scream! Shout! Say Nothing and Ella, the label has positioned themselves where they are well respected and has a bright future ahead.

Richard talked to Alter The Press! about the label's formation, working with Code 7/Plastichead distribution, signing Person L, difficulties of being an independent label and much more.

ATP: This year Scylla Records celebrated its 3rd year anniversary. Could you tell us how the label formed back in 2006?
Scylla Records: Me and a good gent named Ross Packman were putting on shows in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and were working with some great bands, Enter Shikari, The Blackout and Flood of Red to name a few. We were fairly lucky that we were doing the shows at The White Horse, which was a strip club during day, which meant we didn’t have too many problems with bands turning up late. Either way, we put on Out of Sight as a support act for one of our shows and got chatting to them as we did with many of the bands at our shows and heard that they were flying over to New York to work with John Naclerio (The Audition, Just Surrender) on some material but didn’t have anyone to put out the tracks. We were really impressed with their live show and the demos they had and they were a great bunch of lads and so we decided to start a label to put out their EP “Something Created By Belief”. Since them there has been numerous releases, signings made, signings we missed out on, Ross has left the label and much, much more. But the Out of Sight release is what got the ball rolling. The rest, as they say is history…

ATP: Had you and Ross had previous experience in the industry?
SR: Well Ross’ background was in promoting and I was involved in promoting shows as well as writing for a small fanzine. Both were great as it meant I got a lot of free music and got to see bands for free as well. Other than that I didn’t have any experience within the industry when I started Scylla, although I work in the industry in various forms now.
