The Hyena Kill & Seims + Liminal

Drawn together by a shared love of Queens of the Stone Age, Deftones, Helmet and Tool, Steven Dobb (vocals / guitar) and Lorna Blundell (drums) announced The Hyena Kill’s arrival in 2012 with the release of the explosive Gush EP, four tracks of searing, coruscating distort-pop which exploded like a nail bomb into the subterranean noise scene. Via 2014’s Scrape My Bones EP and two further singles, Suck It Up and 2015’s thrilling double-header Still Sick / Blisters – the duo refined, honed and focussed their fierce alternative rock sound into something harsher, leaner and altogether nastier.

The brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Simeon Bartholomew, SEIMS has been hailed as one of the most inventive math-rock acts around the globe; with their flavour of controlled chaos sweeping through every influence imaginable – from post-rock to hardcore to electronic to jazz.
