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. The duo then refined, honed and focussed their fierce alternative rock sound into something harsher, leaner and altogether nastier.
The result was their debut album Atomised (2016), an unflinching, brutal dissection of what it means to be skint, frustrated, alienated and adrift in modern Britain. .
Fast forward to 2019 and the duo were looking to expand their sound and explore more of the atmospheric elements visited on 'Spun'. They recruited additional members which helped to take their already expansive sound to a whole new level and paved the way for a whole new era of The Hyena Kill.
Co-headliners Brighton's El Moono have unique influences of rock, hardcore, metal and grunge. The off-kilter and oftentimes mind-bending riffs, emotive songs and expressive lyricism combine to create a sound that’s difficult to pigeonhole.
Fans of Thrice, Audioslave and Deftones will have plenty to sink their teeth into. El Moono are one of the most exciting up and coming bands who should not go unnoticed.
The band are well known for their raucous live performances and have received high praise from the press, such as: “A blizzard of long hair and grunge-y riffs" - Kerrang!
