Japanese psyborgs PSYDOLL return from the workshop, having spent the last couple of years since their last UK tour perfecting and recording the new album "10 Spyglasses". Digital percussionist Uenoyama and guitar-robot Ucchi join forces with keytar-wielding vocalist Nekoi to create punked-up industrial rock wizzed through an manga blender. Post-apocalyptic calls-to-arms and cautionary fairytales, all through the eyes of a confused, half-organic/half-robotic bunch of crazies. Magic stuff. Like Bladerunner gone a bit 'wrong'.

Edinburgh-based trio METALTECH speedball industrial and dance, dressing it all up in slick grease-paint, dayglo gasmasks and inflatable femme fatales. Plenty here for fans of The Prodigy, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Rob Zombie and the ilk.
