OxfordBands presents… The Winchell Riots, Epic45, Hreda

The lineup for the last MusicInOxford monthly night is coming together and looks like this.

The Winchell Riots headline, almost a year to the day after we put on their first full band gig.

Main support are the beautiful Epic 45:

‘little Proustian snatches of half-buried brilliance… You’ll feel like you’ve been hearing May Your Heart Be the Map in your head all your life, and were waiting for someone to record it.’ – Sunday Times

‘Music that buzzes, drones and sweeps as if the aural mirroring of a ballet dancer giving the performance of their life, the effect is both beguiling and intoxicating. It’s a wonder at times, this album… one of the most gorgeous albums you’ll hear in a long time.’ – Drowned In Sound

Also playing are the wonderful Hreda:

‘For those who have been craving for some technically-outstanding, engaging instrumental guitar music since the
untimely demise of the Edmund Fitzgerald, look no further.’ – Nightshift

‘Their instrumental post-rock sound, grandiose like a heavier and more intricate Explosions In The Sky augmented by the band’s very own cellist is absolutely captivating. Their distorted peaks, battling guitars and swift undulating changes of pace mean the 30-minute set flies by far too quickly. We have discovered something special in this one.’ – Drowned in Sound

It all happens on Friday 29 August at The Wheatsheaf.
