White Heat continues their tradition of presenting bands that have members that’ve been in other bands that have played for White Heat …

Ex-Test-Icicle Rory Brattwell’s doom-children Kasms make a noise like Sonic Youth and X-Ray Spex being squashed into a washing machine and thrown down a flight of stairs, their female-fronted shriekbeat likely to obliterate your eardrums and shatter your bones.

With voodoo stomp, screeching guitars, surreal blues and vocalist Rachel Callaghan’s spooked, shuddering howling and wailing, expect a full complement of show stopping punk goth anthems.

“Kasms are thoroughly entertaining even on a bit of an off day” – Artrocker

Constantly introducing new bands and underground cult favourites, DJs Matty & Olly keep it innovative, inventive, ever-changing and above all a hell of a lot of fun. White Heat is living proof that independent music culture can still thrive outside the mainstream.
