Intense new London band March of The Raptors have been quietly building a name for themselves. Their music is far from quiet, being an energetic blend of thrash and hardcore which they unleash on audiences at their frenetic live shows.
Featuring former members of Fireapple Red, Adequate Seven, *shels, Mahumodo, Devil Sold His Soul and Smoking Hearts, these guys are definitely ones to watch in 2010. Rock Sound said so after all. Already sharing stages with the likes of Devil Sold His Soul, Shaped By Fate, Hexes, Me Vs Hero and Manatees, they will be touring in 2010 to support the release of their eponymously titled mini-album which is out on 22nd March.
A mouth-watering clip of ‘Grace of God’ can be heard at here.
Forthcoming shows:
Tuesday 16th March – Old Blue Last, London (with Blakfish)
Friday 9th April – Camden Underworld, London (with This Is A Standoff)
Independent hip hop label Def Jux have announced the company will be on hiatus in regards to new releases. The New York label co created by El-P will step back from releasing new music, as the company “re-invents” itself in the changing music climate.

Meanwhile El-P continues to work on his forthcoming album, tentatively titled Cancer for the Cure.
