Schoolboy's Death Trio

One day Schoolboy grew just a little bit older; and in doing so, realised that not everything lasts forever. Slowly he became obsessed with the matter of impermanence and since making music was his thing, it was only a matter of time before these concepts entered his writing.

Previously Schoolboy had been touring and rocking with a heavy funk outfit and he now recruited two of his favorites from that project (fuzz bass and percussion), together with a Welsh lass who kicks ass on the drum kit to form the Death Trio - so named because of their music’s thematic content.

A total refusal to be bound by the prison of "9 to 5 slave to the bank till you die grind" has allowed SDT to channel its creativity through many mediums. Music drives the ship, but you’ll find visual art, poetry, film and performance at its oars. Sometimes SDT play the roles of super villains such as The Banker and War, but mostly they’re fighting the good fight as The Freedom Lovers.

Sound wise it’s tough hip-hop beats, dirty fuzz bass, and a front man simultaneously pushing ferocious saxophone and punk rap poetry.

The Evil Usses

Formed in the summer of 2013, the band met at Dartington College of Arts but cemented their musical friendship during a psychedelic fishing trip in the wilds of East Anglia. Finding themselves without a vehicle and only their rods and a collection of cheap harmonicas for survival, the delusions of parallel robotic selves from the future became their only reality. Soon after, they relocated to a disused library in Bristol and began experimenting with transcendental bird fighting, effects pedals and bio-degradable chorus lines. After a series of open air performances incorporating gymnastic feats and the amplified drones of slow cooked roadkill, the group hunkered down in the library, learnt to play their instruments and set off on an ill-fated tour of motorway service stations across the south-west of England, brought to a dramatic end by their unfortunate incarceration by the Wiltshire police.
