Lords of Falconry.
They proffer a kind of garagey take on psych-rock n roll. In fact, there's a discernable Cope/Brain Donor vibe going on in them there grooves.
Completely coincidentally, I've just been listening to their album for the first time- another cheap impulse buy in the Edgeworld sale. Really good; heavy psych rock for sure, some goth-grebo elements too, and doesn't the singer sound like Dave Vanian?
I second recommendations for The Heads, Mugstar, Teeth of the Sea and Hookworms, who were amazing live in Brighton last weekend. Big up too for Medicine and Duty, prolific Brighton freak-improv-noise trio headed by Matt from Teeth of the Sea. And another LP I've been enjoying is by a band called Twinkranes, about whom I know nothing except it's on Twisted Nerve and is somewhere between Wooden Shjips and very early (Drop / Strange Daydreams era) Shamen.

The Lords of Falconry album is good indeed. A minor gripe is that when the singer is in that Vanian/Iggy low-end kinda range he sounds fine but there's a couple of moments where he tries to be a bit more, shall we say, 'singery' and the wheels come off a bit.

Another belated entry...The Chasms

At the noisy end, but charming nonetheless. And far out. Proper psychedelic like.

Pretty sure Twinkranes is from Dublin (not quite UK)!

Cool! I'll be sniffing that tomorrow I hope. Manchester based (it sez here).
Up for a pint sometime? (God, that sounded terribly Alan Partridge I know)
