The Priory
The Priory are a four-peice band from Wolverhampton who mix electronica and indie rock to create a dark brooding impressive racket full of both menace and addictive hooks. They sound like a young, angry Micheal Stipe fronting a Joy Division that have spent the weekend in Coventry with The Specials. A gang as much as a band, they have risen out out of the industrial wasteland that is their 'black country' hometown and much like other English industrial cities (Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds) this back has much influenced the music The Priory make, lending it a decisively industrial feel - distorting, beating and teasing computer loops and inanimate metal objects alike into electronic noise to produce unmistakable and contagious music that is the backdrop for their songs. Recent support slots withe the likes of Editors, and forthcoming shows with The Twang, The Enemy and The Whip should see The Priory's stock rise further
