Brighton has always been an artistic hub.
Currently, the south coast city is swarming with groups who favour DIY over any label structure, an honest lo-fi approach to any studio gloss.
Part of this new wave are Teardrop Factory. Don't let the gothic name point you down the wrong path: the duo's music is harsh, abrasive and hypnotic.
Last year's 'Topshop' EP was an intriguing introduction, with forthcoming debut album 'Thrash In The Heart' due to arrive on September 15th via Faux Discx.
Ahead of this, Clash is able to unveil new cut '3AM Coke Dream'. Buoyed by a shattered, fuzzed up guitar riff and pounding, Mo Tucker style drums, there are subtle pop moments hidden beneath it's black stare.
Check it out now.
'Thrash In The Heart' is set to be released on September 15th.
