Funeral For A Friend - A Welsh emo outfit whose debut release has been mixed and produced by Joe Gibb who has also produced Jane's Addiction, Catatonia and Leftfield. A furious live presence has been winning them fans ever since their first releases in 2002, with appearances including a high profile European tour with Iron Maiden. 'The most exciting new band in the world'- Kerrang.
Killswitch Engage - An awesome five-piece emo outfit from the States. Brutal, sophisticated, melodic and very heavy, they represent the best elements of their chosen genre without ever being confined by it. Their fantastic live presence has been honed at such high profile gigs as Ozzfest. '...more addictive than crack cocaine that's been smothered in nicotine AND drenched in chocolate'- CMJ New Music Report.
My Chemical Romance - A New Jersey band, who are already established as an awesome live power. 'You need this band in your life.' (Kerrang!) 'Exciting and exhilarating... truly justifies the hype.' (Metal Hammer) 'MCR's star quality leaves the rest of the chasing pack choking on their dust.' (NME)
Rise Against - A hardcore punk rock band from Chicago, with a positive outlook that separates them from many of their peers. Since 1999 they've been mixing the furious energy of old-school hardcore with a more melodic sound, blending influences in a way that shouldn't work but does. Musically the band presses all the right buttons, but they are also very socially aware people, and have used their ever-growing profile to support numerous good causes. '...this band's range is truly phenomenal'- Kerrang.
Story Of The Year - Hotly tipped Missouri band whose debut album 'Page Avenue' was described as 'packed with quality and variety at every turn' (Kerrang!)
The Used - Besides homelessness and substance abuse, The Used have overcome incredible difficulties to carve a name for themselves in the ultra-conservative confines of their Utah home towns. With a fiercely unpredictable show, crafted and honed on a punishing road schedule, they've created a raw but touching sound that veers wildy from a whisper to a full-on screeching wail. |
