Los Angeles based band Brass Box is creating a fresh brand of noisy shoegaze that is equally atmospheric as it is melodic - a sound that immediately casts listeners into a sea of velvet and thorns annexed by an indomitable wave of swirling guitars and guitarist Neil Popkin (War Tapes, Rituals), guitarist Matt Bennett (War Tapes), and drummer Pablo Amador (Rituals, Magic Wands). Their first EP 'Ivory Skies' from 2016 was met with critical success from notable critics, with Buzzbands. LA calling it's compositions Incha proper sound bath in both melody and noise,Inch and DoLA describing their uniquely goth pop as Inchdrenched in macabre imagery and poetic goth themes. Inch With the upcoming of their debut LP & CD 'The Cathedral' the band will solidify their spot as one of LA's finest purveyors of a genre they define as dream goth.

It was a simple idea; to create a festival out of all the brilliant music and art made all over the world, stuff made outside of the mainstream â€Inch music that wasn’t getting on the radio and was even harder to find in record stores… … the very first WOMAD Festival took place at the 240-acre Bath and West Showground, Somerset over the weekend of 16â€Inch18 July, 1982. With the dream â€-not to sprinkle world music around a rock festival, but to prove that these great artists could be headliners in their own right’, the three days and five stages played host to 60 bands from over 20 countries; a line-up that included The Drummers of Burundi, Pigbag, Salsa de Hoy, Simple Minds, Musicians of the Nile, Echo and the Bunnymen, Prince Nico Mbarga, Rip, Rig and Panic, The Beat and many more. I remember this gig well, says Peter Gabriel. We played a mix of old and brand-new material. I would normally be very nervous about playing some of this stuff for the first time, however my mind was very preoccupied with the running of our very first WOMAD festival and the potential financial disaster that it was heading towards. More than just a live album, Live at WOMAD 1982 is a pivotal moment, available now on CD and LP for the very first time.
