Lead by founding members Charles Bullen and Charles Hayward, pioneering UK DIY band This Heat reuniteafter 40 years.

Formed in the South London borough of Brixton in 1976, This Heat were one of the most inventive bands to emerge from the UK’s fruitful DIY scene. Too strange to fit in with their punk contemporaries, This Heat concocted some of the most experimental ideas ever committed to tape during their short-lived existence. Drawing from musique concrète, krautrock, the burgeoning industrial scene and even dub reggae, This Heat’s heavily politicised and wildly original, freeform songs sowed the seeds of generations of post-punk, avant rock, noise rock and post-rock to come. Reuniting after 40 years, This Is Not This Heat sees James Sedwards and Grumbling Fur’s Daniel O’Sullivan join founding This Heat members Charles Bullen and Charles Hayward to breathe new life into the band’s pioneering sounds.
