Bristol’s least favourite band, Blank Atlas, have been manufacturing distasteful riff cheese since 2015, aimed at fans of everything from McFly to Meshuggah.

2016 saw the release of debut EP ‘Solitude’, recorded by Neil Kennedy (Creeper, Milk Teeth, Press to MECO.) Since then the band have devoted their time to touring and have played shows with bands such as Dream State, Allusondrugs, Fatherson, Anavae and Max Raptor.

Blank Atlas released a new single ‘I Was Told This Is How Wars Start’ at the start of 2018 and 'Sing For Something in the Summer of 2018. Their second EP 'Canvas' is out on the 5th October.

The official website for Brighton based rock band EL MOONO.

Metal Hammer's Ones to Watch 2022. Signing to Lockjaw Records marks a new era for Brighton alt-rock quartet El Moono. Following Small Pond released single Thanks for Nothing in 2019, and heavy touring around the UK & Europe with the likes of Black Peaks, Phoxjaw, Haggard Cat, Fangclub, Press to MECO and more - El Moono are back with a vengeance and a new record (TBA). Recorded at The Old Chapel Studios with Sam Coveney and mastered by Tom Hill at the Bookhouse Studio, it explores themes of human self-destruction and depression, containing seven emotive tracks that flow together to create an overarching musical narrative with poignant concepts. With influences of rock, hardcore, metal and grunge, the off-kilter and oftentimes mind-bending riffs, emotive songs and expressive lyricism combine to create a sound that’s difficult to pigeonhole. Don’t sleep on these up and coming trailblazers - El Moono are here to stay.
