S.C.U.M
Not a teenage metal band as the name might suggest, S.C.U.M. suddenly turned up in 2007 and very quickly became one of the most exciting industrial/no-wave acts around.
The band takes its name from the Society for Cutting Up Men Manifesto - a radical feminist tract written in 1968 by Valerie Solanas, the woman who eventually shot Andy Warhol. Their sound is a driving explosion of atmospheric noise with howling guitars and sombre vocals that drive home an incredible sense of presence and significance. This is not a band you can wander in and see - their performances are definite events, and transcend a great deal of the more commonplace music around today.
