Medulla Nocte

Medulla Nocte play Bowlers Exhibition Centre on Sunday 8 November, with the show starting at 12:00 pm. They're a band from Hereford, and their sound pulls from a few different places: thrash metal, alternative, hardcore punk and post-hardcore. It's a wide spread, and that's exactly where they sit — right in the middle of those styles rather than sticking to one.

There's a bit of a story behind this one, too. They're reissuing their debut album, A Conversation Alone, which first came out through the Household Name label. This version has been remixed and remastered by Dave Draper, who's worked with The Wildhearts and The Sontaran Experiment, and it's finished with new artwork by Rich Jones, who has done work for Amen and The Black Halos. So it's not just a straight reprint; it's a reworked version of the record they started with.

If you're not familiar with them, that mix of thrash and hardcore punk should give you a good idea of what to expect on the night. The reissue of A Conversation Alone puts their early material back in the conversation, and this show is the chance to hear it live. It's a Sunday afternoon slot, so you'll be out of the house by midday and home well before the week starts again.

Medulla Nocte are the only name on the bill for this one, and it all kicks off at 12:00 pm at Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Chester.
