House Arrest

House Arrest are

Jasper Eade, Gary Cartmill, William Chadwick, Benjamin Preston and Joshua Eastoe

If Devo were the founding fathers of de-volution, then House Arrest are the children of the de-volved. Slathered in Vaseline and dipped in gravy, a warped cacophony of fried synths, slimy basslines, warbled guitars and lyrics straight from the mind of the mad. A band whose sonic presence lurks within the caliginous waters of post-punk wearing disco shoes and wrapping itself in no-wave sensibilities.

House Arrest don’t shy away from the grime and grit but instead hoard it, moulding it into bite-size chunks of infectious driven gutter-rock. With live shows that are a looser than spare change but musicianship that is tight and precise, House Arrest have carved a chunk in the current musical landscape and continue to dig deeper into unknown territory whilst simultaneously sporting familiar musical inflictions kin to the likes of The Gun Club, Killing Joke and Pere Ubu.

Burn down your nearest Starbucks, kidnap an EMI employee and have no fear because House Arrest are here to caress your soul and hijack your head."
