Despite his rapid rise in hyper online circles as the latest dance-floor wunderkind, Kabir Parekh, also known as the sound chalk makes, isn’t letting it get to his head. In the past year, he's rapidly established himself amongst London's electronic scene as a verified cult hit-maker. His mix of sharp, noisy electro-clash and odd, almost bedroom pop intimacy has resulted in a sound that straddles the ever-thinning tight rope between internet micro-genre niches.

George: We tried really really hard and managed to capture the way we sound live onto the EP. That was a very important thing. Jamie: I guess there was less jumping but still were always focused on playing our instruments correctly when we do play live anyway. Niall: But there’s mistakes in the recording in an interesting way which is more reminiscent of a live show. George: How we recorded it was just like takes, just take after take till we got one. Tom: It was really easy recording the EP.

Wax Head’s GNAT is a gnashing, vicious little thing. In under half an hour, it tears through the ears with a searing mix of kraut grooves and noise guitar that doesn’t rewrite the garage-punk playbook so much as reaffirm just how vicious the genre can be. It darts, dodges, and strikes with the air of a seasoned professional. It's clear from each track that the band is no strangers to the ring.
