UK quartet We The Faceless can holler and soothe within the space of two tracks. A-side Isle of Dogs, a grainy grunge rocker, goes for the throat, the acoustic B-side Hollow goes for the heart.

It's a truly international band. Singer Jack hails from Cape town, bass player Diego was born in Montevideo, drummer Pete is a Scotsman, and guitar player Travis is from Malta. Who knows, in year to come they might get recognized as the forerunners of yet another New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

The single is released September 28.

Live date:
  • 11/20 Venu U, Hastings, UK
