Why are they here?
HTRK (pronounced 'hate rock') have been appearing on numerous London club night posters of late; most recently alongside artists such as S.C.U.M and Ipso Facto. So it only felt right to give them some air time and it was certainly well worth the effort. They make spell-binding dark rock, filled with electric shocks and some of the most haunting vocals I've heard this year. They hail from Australia and have got everyone talking in their short time on our home shores. We'll be keeping an eye on them in 2009 and hopefully they'll be mystifying Wrexham in person in the near future.
