FINGER ON THE PULSE #2 (Upset The Rhythm)


VISIT: http://www.upsettherhythm.co.uk/index.shtml

Upset The Rhythm undoubtedly have their finger on the pulse. They aim to keep it there and make sure that the heart of music never beats the same way again. They are more than just a record label; they do their best to bring London and the rest of the world the craziest new sounds through live music shows, records and their own 'Yes Way' festival. It's truly a beautiful thing to see such a D.I.Y label thriving, but when you think about it, of course they are thriving! They bring music savvy music fans, forward and backward thinking music that refuses to sound right. But don't worry, they don't just put on noise rock that sounds horrible for the sake of it, no sir! They put on bands that have thrilling sounds of their own; from the chilled out samples and croons of High Places to the jittery guitar prog of Cold Pumas, Upset The Rhythm bring variety to the masses, freshly picked from music's underground. They are proud of the music that the UK has to offer, Yes Way Festival is 100% UK artists. But they have far more strings to their bow as they bring the best from the States too, in the form of Wavves, Best Coast and Frankie Rose And The Outs. Be sure to make it down to any show they put on, it will probably be the underground band you've been dieing to see since you heard their demos on myspace or it will be something completely new and mind-blowing. They can upset my rhythm any day.
