"Based in Glasgow, Scotland and featuring members of Stretchheads and Idlewild, De Salvo twist the influence of hardcore and metal to demand your total sensual attention. This is incendiary, visceral and genuinely perverse music. Assimilating the sounds of traditional hardcore like Converge, Mastodon and Black Flag with the psychedelic madness of Butthole Surfers, De Salvo have gained a reputation as one of the best live bands in the UK. They are both confrontational and memorable but influence only tells half the story. Put simply, De Salvo are not a band that is easy to categorize. Their music is filthy, it's dirty, it's in your face, it leaves you feeling moist, aroused and slightly guilty. Recorded in early 2008 at Chem19 Studios with producer Paul Savage (whose credits include; Mogwai, Arab Strap & Malcolm Middleton) Mood Poisoner emerges as one of the hardcore albums of the year. De Salvo's debut album is a punishing ride for sure, but it's an exhilarating experience all the same. Fuck the destination, welcome aboard, 'cos it's time to strap-in and strap-on to truly experience this."

"Errors are pleased to announce the release of their debut album. Entitled It's Not Something, But It Is Like Whatever the record features 9 brand new tracks in addition to last year's limited edition single Salut! France. While managing to retain the elements of new-wave and acid-house that marked their early Hans Herman 7" and EP How Clean Is Your Acid House?, this new material represents a natural progression and evolution in Errors' sound that so far has seen the band touted as natural successors to the mantle currently held by the likes of Battles, Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem."

"Randomnumber is Matt Robson, a stalwart of the Leeds underground for some nine or ten years, Robson may well be best known for his 18 months of drumming action for Hood. After Hood, Robson had time to focus on the increasing expansion of his solo electronic project -- Randomnumber. The epic 'Leopold B' (a concept song about James Joyce's Leopold Bloom who has a lengthy psychedelic episode in Ulysses) proved to be a vital bridge between the noise of yore and the more melodic territories of the contemporary random material. The rest of the EP is taken up by more recent outings showing a more measured, though equally beat mangled Randomnumber."
