Noise annoys delights

Back when I lived in Cardiff, Noel Gardner used to promote noise rock gigs under the name Lesson No. 1 as well as writing for the local culture/listings mag Buzz. He's since worked for the NME (let's not hold that against him) and now frequently contributes to the Quietus but has clearly (and pleasingly) not lost his passion for all things eardrum-annihilating. Many of the bands featured in his recent article I know already - but many others I don't and am going to have to investigate.
