Had us at Number 4 - John Robb
Last year I was a judge at one of those Battle Of The Bands competitions.
A sort of low rent Simon Cowell.
The standard was pretty high but there was one band that really stood out.
Effluence are a three price from mid Lancashire. Three wiry kids who make a massive noise.
Like an intense and wild version of early Nirvana crammed into Muse; they were explosive and intelligent but also armed with some really great songs with an flapping, skinny rag doll of a frontman. Effluence will rock the festivals and are living proof that genius guitar noise is alive and well out there.
Their debut single is about to be released on Music Cuisine. We were going to release it on the about to be launched Louder Than War label but felt Music Cuisine was a better set up for them. - John Robb

Bio
EFFLUENCE are a dark punk psycho trio emerging from the dark depths of the North west. Sam Curran's skewed and rag-doll stage pressence and often uncomfortable lyrics range from manic howls to smooth croons, battling with a razorsharp, distinctive guitar work constantly demanding your undivided attention. Whilst underneath, Chris Dickin's thundering bass interlocks tightly with Lewis Rennison's unpredictable and unrelenting drumming, dynamicly driving the songs wirth raw talent and power. Taking cues from Leeds favorites Pulled Apart By Horses and Welsh bass enthusiasts Exit_International, EFFLUENCE have drawn comparisons to Nirvana, Sonic Youth and early Muse. With Tom Robinson (BBC Radio 6 fresh on the net) regulary playing Effluence on his show, and John Robb (Louder Than War) claiming they are going to be massive, Effluence are ready and waiting.
