-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
SICK OF IT ALL - The most infamous band, featured on MTV,
loved by thousands with a strong and dedicated worldwide fan base this
New York band remains one of the finest stalwarts in the hardcore genre.
Every time they play the UK they sell out the venue Their current release
is available vis FAT WRECK and if that wasn't enough there will be a new
CD B side collection released in October. Old school NY HC style...at it's
best!
7 SECONDS - The most legendary band on this tour reaching
almost 25 years! They give an energetic performance and have songs so known
the audience literally sing them for the band. Hailing from the West Coast
7 Seconds have inspired and been an influence for some bigger bands known
today! Top notch and extremely catchy songs they too have a new album imminent
to be released on SIDE ONE DUMMY 'Take it Back, Take It On, Take It Over!'
Street date is 12.10.04.....This is the West Coast style HC at it's finest!
THE BONES - Good live act who have a wild party Punk
rock'n'roll vibe. These guys come from Germany and provide another facet
to the punk/hardcore genre. It's worth bearing in mind that there is
an ever increasing number of bands out there who provide a psycobilly
or punk rock'n'roll music. Some bands as young as 16 are now playing
and touring with this type of music......is an explosion imminent? Possibly.
But there's a guarantee that The Bones will impress many. An album was
released just this year entitled 'Straight Flush Ghetto' on PEOPLE LIKE
YOU records.
WALLS OF JERICHO - Detroit band, more extreme in sound
but with a female vocalist! Candace has an amazing voice and can easily
compete with any others in the metal-core genres. Excellent stage presence
to boot. Label mates with another band to watch for TERROR in the states.
You will be hearing more from Walls Of Jericho in the future cos they've
just signed a deal so their releases will be distributed via ROAD RUNNER
records across the UK and Europe. Current album 'All Hail The Dead'
UNEARTH - Formed in 98 and from eastern Massachusetts
they combine crushing metal with uplifting lyrics....Don't think this
band are stuck in one style or at one speed as they display dual guitar
'harmonies' matched with brooding bass-laden beatdowns and a new album
will be released in time for the tour 'Unearth' 26.8.04 via Metal Blade.
RAMALLAH - A must see band, and any fans of BLOOD FOR
BLOOD and SINNERS AND SAINTS will want to know about this project cos
it's actually (White trash) Rob's other band! Extremely brutal and aggressive
musically and lyrically. Blood For Blood's recent album had a Rock 'n'
Roll edge this time around and lyrically spanned the many feelings Rob
experienced in getting off drugs.... Ramalagh however is best explained
in Rob's own words Yes, this band and this release will turn heads, draw
societal blood, incense quite a few people and hopefully even terrify
them", says Rob Lind "We live in terrible times. People should
be terrified and horrified and disgusted at what's going on in this world
and in their name every single day. Ramallah is here to shove it all
right down their throats." Hopefully an album will be released |
