Illustrator Joe Collins has made us a map that explains most of the connections between bands within the collective, click below to see the full sized version:
The band lineups are changing all the time and there are plenty of connections missing, we had to draw the line somewhere or it would have spiralled out of control. Also missing are a few solo artists who don’t play in any of the more well known bands, but it’s a pretty good place to start if you’re confused about who plays with whom.
