50Hz

The startling soundtrack of the summer is COMING... seething discontent, careering at top speed through the urban wastelands, sneering at billboard spectacles of narcissism, spitting out the tasteless monotony of chewed-up conformist gum, refusing to walk on/sign on the dotted, straight and narrow line.

50Hz are responsible for this sound.

A band that has already built a steady following in the UK since their first release 'Armchair Army' on Oxford's celebrated Shifty Disco label, London-based 50Hz were also selected as one of Britain's best unsigned bands in last year's In the City showcase in Manchester and have been championed by Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 1's Evening Session. Right now they seem to be causing high voltage WARNINGS to flash left, right and centre, even as far afield as Japan.

"50 Hertz of electro-magnetic frequency may have plugged them in, but 50 Hz the band are generating more than simple physics could account for… with more angles than a Picasso painting, 50Hz are another type of genius... at this rate the current shall be theirs."
Stephen Brolan - The Fly Magazine 2003

50 Hz are: Mark Nilsson (vocals), Andy Gott (guitars) Wixy (Bass) Rich Royce (Drums)

Rave reviews and general joyous excitement accompanied the band's last release, the melancholic, soaring 'Never Awake' EP. Hold tight for the next single, 'In The Town', unleashed on Manchester's Urban Foxx label - Here it comes… a night on the tiles that will give you serious flashbacks for a LONG time…
