Bridge and Tunnel @ Arc Studios, 25 Apr

Glasgow DIY gig collective presents an evening of raucous Stateside rock

Article by Lauren Mayberry | 25 Mar 2009

DIY collective This Is Our Battlefield, self-confessed promoters of “loud screamy bands”, this month bring us No Idea’s Bridge and Tunnel. With past and present members of Latterman and Slingshot Dakota and the odd comparison to Hot Water Music, Bridge and Tunnel deliver their blend of indie-hardcore, math-influenced guitar work and intense interwoven vocals with a smattering of angst. Playing on the UK leg of their tour are Exeter three-piece OK Pilot, post-punkers akin to a British version of Hot Snakes. With United Fruit also providing their increasingly-lauded flavour of raw, experimental rock and additional local screamo from Mesa Verde, it's an evening bound to pack a substantial punch.

7.30pm, £5
