Hailed by some as the ‘saviours of rock’ black midi have been making waves in the UK over the past couple of years with their chaotic blend of post-punk, experimental rock, and math rock.

Formed way back in 2000, Toe are a Japanese math rock band that have toured extensively, including supporting the likes of the mighty Mogwai. Their 2021 live album DOKU-EN-KAIcaptures something of their live energy.
