ABoF’s May Releases!

We're almost halfway through 2011, and the summer is so close you could almost taste it. Meanwhile, at ABoF HQ, we've been preparing for another month jam packed full of releases.
We've got a really great selection for you this May, with everything from dark and atmospheric electro-rock, to punk soaked indie rock.
Check out our list of releases below for the full run down.

Architects Of Grace - Moments In Time

Moments In Time is the debut album from Architects Of Grace. Written and recorded largely by Duncan Robert Illing, it demonstrates strength and substance, a soundtrack to a rollercoaster of experiences.

Having already drawn comparison to musical pioneers David Bowie and Trent Reznor, the digital release of the album has seen Duncan interviewed by Bass Guitar Magazine, was hailed as "...an exercise in unbridled eclecticism" by Rock Sound Magazine and album track "Oceans Of The Heart" picked as Classic Rock Magazine (online)'s track of the day.
The video for single Reflection has also been featured on This Is Fake DIY, Clash Music and Artrocker Magazine (online).

The world is sure to take notice when Procession Recordings release Moments In Time physically on May 30th.

Gunning For Tamar - Deaf Cow Motel

It's clear that Gunning For Tamar are an extremely focused band, having spent 2010 learning to read each other like it's second nature, as the sound they have created leaves no room for complacency.
Deaf Cow Motel is an ambitious EP that really pays off, showing that this four piece are more than comfortable crossing boundaries and defying the listener's expectations. This has, in no small part, been instrumental in attracting the attention of NME.com and seen them featured on the BBC Introducing in Oxford radio show.

The EP is released via Walnut Tree Records on CD and MP3 May 30th.

What Would Jesus Drive - Black And Blue

Black and Blue, the debut album from What Would Jesus Drive, opens with a shriek of sirens, which sets the tone for what's to come. The album is a spectacular punch in the face, each track driven by raw guitars layered by synthesizers; sneering vocals and a cacophony of drums that make you want to trash your living room just to join in. It's a powerful return to the roots of post-punk, with enough musical innovation to create a sound that's very much lodged in the present.

With the band having already been featured on Artrocker Magazine (online) and The Best In British Music Show With Tara O, the physical release of their debut album on 30th May via EyeSeeSound is sure to cause quite the explosion.
