We first came across Glasgow's Union Of Knives when they played at the Iceland Airwaves festival last year - and since then I've been stumbling across them in various places, not least on Eddy TM's playlists on the Xfm Remix show - he being a big fan of both their remix and original production work. And rightly so - because their edgy, unique and very articulate sound is as exciting as it is dark. Signed to Relentless Records (who released their debut album 'Violence & Birdsong' back in July), they play Eddy's Remix Night this Friday at Cargo in London, so if you're yet to experience their sound then you could do a lot worse than get down there and find out what all the fuss is about. Meantime you can check out four tracks from and read more about the guys on their MySpace.
