Nope biography
NOPE began as an improvised side project of That Fucking Tank and Mucky Sailor in 2008 before taking a more solid form in 2010 with a definitive line-up of Andy Abbott (guitar), Steven Nuttall (drums), Jonathan Nash (drums) and Patrick Dowson (vocals, guitar). NOPE have toured the UK a handful of times as well as other countries in Europe.

'Revision' is the debut album from this Leeds/Bradford psych-rock four-piece. Themed around a loose concept of a post-apocalyptic industrial revolution on the Yorkshire moors and valleys, the six tracks that comprise this 45-minute album reflect an epic intent. 2014 saw the new release 'Walker', a collaboration with artist and filmmaker Eoin Shea for RECON festival 2013.

NOPE deploy rhythm, repetition, drones, double-drumming and big riffs to hypnotic head-nodding effect occupying the musical territory between minimalist Krautrock, psychedelic shoegaze and alternative hard rock.
