ST. AGNES / FLESH PLANET

STATIC DRESS / STICK TO YOUR GUNS

Bristol blues punks/chaos merchants punch harder on second album.

Welsh proggers Godsticks are back with their darkest, heaviest and most uncompromising material to date. Bandleader Darran Charles tells Prog all about VOiD , their upcoming live shows and why he’s keeping an open mind when it comes to audience reactions.

If you’re looking for some ‘leather, studs and bullet belts’ classic metal, get in their firing line.
