I quite often take video clips when I'm at gigs.  Among the bands I've 'bootleged' - their description, not mine! - are Guile.  I've never made great claims for my clips, it's just a way of sharing the gig with friends as far as I'm concerned, but this professionally filmed clip of Guile really does put my amateur efforts to shame!

Hopefully more this footage will see the light of day.  It really ought to, for my money, Guile are as good an unsigned band as you'll find right now.

Here's what Clash magazine said about them:

"...fine gritty, dirt-smeared blues that occasionally delves into the dark reaches of Doors-esque psychedelia. With menace and melody cramped into one tight space, it’s like the aural equivalent of the black lung....."

Meantime you can check out more of Guile on You Tube here.
