Starting as a two-guitar and drums acid-garage prog-punk riff jamboree with a sound lying somewhere between Neu!, Devo and Black Sabbath, Baptism Of Uzi found their genesis in 2010 in an unrenovated shack beneath the Westgate Bridge. Baptism have since added synth and bass to the mesh, creating a space-rock juggernaut founded on driving motorik beats, twin lead guitarmonies and rich analog synth-scapes.

Since forming less than twelve months ago, Baptism Of Uzi have played at the St Jeromes Laneway Festival and iconic New Zealand festival Camp A Low Hum; launched the first EP of their lo-fi home experiment series, Dictaphonium 1, to a packed Melbourne crowd; been featured on German release Berlin Mix Tape on the Fallopian Tunes imprint; and helped relaunch Melbourne's rescued Tote Hotel.

Late last year BoU went into the studio to try capture some of the magic of their fearsome live show. The fruit of this labour is the mightly Cassette EP, out now on Gaga Digi.

A more sonically rich affair than their debut tape, the new EP provides another glimpse into the vision of experimentation and progression that BoU doggedly pursue. With the home studio nearly complete, the Cassette EP release provides another puzzle piece to the rich landscape that the band are ensconcing themselves in.
