Rock sells! Someone asked me what ASIWYFA were like last night and all I could say was "a bucket of honey and tears"...genres suck! Accepted, Tony :P

But first three clubs you mention have definite electronic leaning? We haven't had Terrordactyl here yet, but there other halves Adebisi Shank have more than a slight lean towards electronics too with the crazy stuff Lar does on guitar... For me at the moment the most interesting stuff lies away from "Rock", and of course that can totally just be me, but it has too many past connotations. I felt a bit odd, for example, describing ASIWYFA as a "kind of Rock band" to people who needed a kind of general reference point to what they do, cos I felt to call em Rock wasn't enough... And congrats :D Front cover of anything is an achievement. Your words are in full view on a thousand shop shelves across the country. Apologies Naomi :D ha ha!
