Partyshank is a UK powergrime duo made up of Howard P. Sausage (AKA Party Sausage) and Christian Shank - hence the band's name. Funny 'cuz I would have thought the name described the visceral experience of listening to their music. The duo is also noted for coining the term toystep to describe their musical genre/style.
While the band remains unsigned (the purest form of indie), you can check out their touring schedule, purchase t-shirts, and keep up with the band on their Myspace page. They also have a blog where they release downloadable tunes from time to time. Right now you can't purchase the track Virgin just yet, but according to their profile it should be available on iTunes "soon." Hope so.
Video game fans might recognize the name Hadouken from the classic Street Fighter series. That Hadouken was a devastating fireball special move -- this Hadouken is an English grime band with hip-hop and dancehall influences.
The group came together in fall of 2006 and started to get a lot of attention after the release of their music video for That Boy That Girl in early 2007. They just debuted their first full-length album Music For An Accelerated Culture last month.
