Artist description A studiously bleak experiment in sinister, breaks-ridden leftfield electronica, fielding the mentalist digital drum’n’bass energy of Squarepusher in a gritty and relentlessly dark urban backdrop

Artist History Underpass's glitched electronic sound has parallels both in the dark electronica of Warp records artists and in the hard breaks sound of labels like Fuel. They formed as Vendetta in 1998 becoming Mainline later the same year. Their squelchy beats won them praise from the likes of the Evening Session in Wales team who have twice featured Underpass tracks on their website leading to the bands debut Session on Live Radio for Session in Wales in January 2003. The band have also done numerous shows in venues such as Clwb Ifor Bach, Barfly and the Toucan with a diverse range of bands from electronica star Max Tundra to Ex- Death in Vegas man Steve Hellier and Mercury Rev side project Hopewell as well as local acts like Baby Elephant, Which Means What (R.I.P), Nameless, The Error Plains, Rocket Goldstar, Transposer, Headtest and many others. Described by Gair Rhydd (cardiff's student magazine) as "tight and relentless, atmospheric and possibly the heaviest live act of its kind at the moment.".
