Sonic pirates: that's how local band In Each Hand A Cutlass describe themselves, at their Myspace site:

"In Each Hand A Cutlass ...is the sound of Sonic Pirates sailing on a sea of cheese with a torn piece of rainy skies plastered over its apple strudel crusted hull while paper birds from kids’ forgotten drawings flutter overhead."

Five easy points to remember:

1. They are Progressive / Ambient / Metal.

2. Their line-up: Daniel Sassoon (Electrico, Livonia, Kalkulatore), Farid (Meth), Kenny Png (Meltgsnow, La' Dies), Roland Lim (Seraphim, Anna Judge April) and Jordan Cheng (Rafe).

3. You can hear their new track Glaciers at http://www.myspace.com/iehac.

4. The track is 9:11 long.

5. It rocks.
