RELEASED MONDAY 18TH FEBRUARY 2013 from all digital retailers.

The Microdance is a protean animal: a band conceived with a vision to encapsulate the most exciting elements of alternative music under the bonnet of one super-charged vehicle.

Influenced by Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure, New Order, My Bloody Valentine, Death Cab for Cutie, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, m83, Deftones, Joy Formidable, Interpol and Silversun Pickups.

The Microdance’s ambitions are lofty and far-reaching: This is a kaleidoscopic adventure with a rich, prolific and exhilarating future.

EUPHYMIS

Comprised of ex-members of the 6 time WAMI Award winning band The Fergusons and late '90s pop rock giants Hornbaker; Euphymis was a side project that has recently moved back into focus.
Described as “Powerful” and “Epic”, Euphymis, the brainchild of Wane Beadon and Martin Lubcke, takes influence from 80s arena rock, the 90s grunge movement and just a little classical influence from Japanese rock phenomenon X Japan.
Respected Perth bassist Grant Joyce (The Fergusons, Hornbaker) continues to collaborate. Affectionately described once as "a lead guitarist who doesn't realise he's a bass player", by X-press magazine; relating to his inventive bass lines and arrangements.
Martin Lubcke's guitar work is a combination of power and rock simplicity reminiscent of Jimmy Page and Kurt Cobain.
Wane Beadon has returned to lead vocals with a new confidence and intensity and plays an occasional piano to boot.
Euphymis are working on an album many years in the making, described by the band as "Unapologetic, Epic Rock".

Aventyr who are based in Forde, Norway.

Formed in a gloomy dark attic in 2001, Aventyr fought their way through the Norwegian music scene, growing and maturing with a cast of musicians and recording two demos over the space of six years.
2008 saw the band truly emerge though, after their line up was settled and they caught the attention of music producer Beau Hill who among others has worked with the likes of Alice Cooper, Gary Moore, Bob Dylan and Europe, who wanted to work with the band in order to adapt them to the US market.
The end result is the Driven album which has been described as being unmasked, unkempt Rock n Roll, bought to you in an authentic, energetic, rich and captivating way. Already receiving rave reviews, you can find out details on how you can purchase their album plus soon to be announced gig dates on their website www.facebook.com/aventyrband


Littlecrazy who are based in Sheffield, England.
Taking their name from the fact that every member of the band has crazy individual issues, for some unknown reason the crazy mix works and has allowed Littlecrazy to write an amazing sound of music.
Having already supported Tracer on their second album tour in April 2012, and most recently performing at the Sheffield O2 Academy, Littlecrazy are now moving from strength to strength. After being played on MTV, their popularity has been emphasised further by the video for their track End With You being played over 435,000 times on YouTube to date.

HellsBelles

HellsBelles was formed in 2004 from the ashes of ‘Hell’s Belles’ which was formed by former members of Discharge in 1984 which itself later disbanded in 1987. However, Paul Quigley kept the torch alight and has since rebranded the band as ‘HellsBelles’ (one word, without the apostrophe) and the new band is entirely new.

Before AC/DC tribute bands even existed, before there was a tribute band fad, before even there were damp patches in their mammies’ frilly knickers, there used to be ‘real’ rock bands, ‘real’ musicians who lived their music, loved their music, and ‘were’ the music. In such times, bands came and went, formed and re-formed, mutated and evolved. And in one such formation, a seminal band did emerge. Unique. Quirky. Different. Blending and melding disparate styles and influences into a new, unique cohesive musical powerhouse. Thus emerged, without fanfare or bluster, without hype or hysteria – one band to rule them all in the crossover period that was post-punk, post-NWOBHM, pre-grunge, pre-numetal – that sound, that energy, that force, was Hell’s Belles – now reborn, revamped and rearmed as - HellsBelles…

HellsBelles – the `original` British heavy metal rock and roll band, formed in 1984 from the ashes of the cult punk hardcore thrash Discharge, now reformed, revamped and ready for the next onslaught. Led by original lead vocalist and songwriter, Paul Quigley, HellsBelles now fuse metal, classic heavy rock, progressive art rock, mixed with industrial grit as well as ethnic and acoustic folk balladry that defies categorisation – HellsBelles is a band now firmly in a genre of its own, and it has to be heard to be believed. Energy, passion and style, all melded into one holistic musical experience…

Line up:

Paul Quigley - vocals, guitars, keyboards, Rick Jansen - guitars Rob Ireland - bass Imelda Zygote - drums
