PELbO + Tommy Smith's Karma

Superb tuba-powered trio from Norway whose unlikely blend of bellowing sub-sonic riffs, chill-inducing vocals and thrash-metal drumming make for a winning must-see live show. Singer Ine Kristine Hoem makes impressive use of live vocal loops and bespectacled, skinny tuba-wielding Kristoffer Lo is cuts an unlikely rock-god figure. Scottish sax star Smith's fusion-folk rock quartet provides vivid support.
