European duo SNEILA reveal their confrontational harsh music musique bizzaro Will You Remember Me?

Released through No Work Records in May 2026, the ten-track album unfolds as a sequence of sonic environments where rhythmic noise, found sounds, synthesizer abrasion, and improvisational gestures collide in ways that feel both chaotic and carefully considered.

Alternative TV.

Mark Perry formed ATV in 1977 after stepping away from punk fanzine Sniffin’ Glue, which has been founded one year prior.

ATV’s early rehearsals took place at Throbbing Gristle’s Industrial Records studio, with Genesis P-Orridge on drums, surfacing decades later as the Industrial Sessions. Perry’s co-founder Alex Fergusson went on to become a founding member of Psychic TV alongside GPO, bridging a spiritual overlap between the two bands.

ATV’s album sleeve aesthetic became a foundational influence for the visual style PTV would come to appropriate for their own cover art. Characterised by an imposing centre image with plain type above/below, a style most often found on PTV live albums.

Mark Perry’s unhurried Cockney delivery has been a consistent anchoring for the band. Perry’s delivery being declarative, sceptical and working class in the most unsentimental sense possible. ATV’s sound is further defined by many eras of reinvention from proto-punk/post-punk, dub inclinations, Zappa-ish art rock, free jazz, spoken word and first-take improvisation.

Some personal favourite records are Peep Show and Punk Life.
