Shield Your Eyes






London based Shield Your Eyes have been banging out incredibly solid noise for a couple years now.
They have been mentioned in passing on this site and our facebook group...but they most certainly deserve a more formal appreciation. A power trio in every sense of the word. Not your standard math rock either more of a prog-blues with time signature bending flirtations. Some pretty gal dern unique guitar riffs flying in and out of this as well  which I believe makes it that much more special. At times noisey and chaotic yet can move rather quickly to something much more subdued from song to song or within a song. 

Volume 4 is there 2011 release which is a great place to start with these guys

Live performance that is well recorded and downloadable for free....yes free. 


Also just as a question here... do people listen to podcasts? if we did one would anyone listen? The idea has been floating around to have a plenty of swords podcast but if it sounds like a bad idea...well let us know please.

Grand Piano - $1000 (2012)



We know you enjoy the math but what about blues? country?  Alright I'm not throwing something totally off course here but listen this stuff is very much in love with those throw back styles. Yes they do manage to incorporate some sprightly guitar lines and interesting song structures. Some songs are decidedly more blues rock and others not so much. It is however still a very interesting and enjoyable listen. Very fitting vocals if I do say so myself.
