Info -

Astral Void are a melodic heavy rock band established in 2007 and originate from Norfolk. Former Red Leaf front man Andy Martin began performing at local pubs doing solo Electric/Acoustic performances with his own original material. Wanting to form his ideas into a band format Andy advertised online and came across Chris Gedge, who had recently left covers/originals band Smoking Aces, in 2010. After meeting and jamming the pursuit was on for other members to join. After gigging around the Norfolk and London areas for two years the band went on hiatus leaving things unsettled and unfinished. Andy went on to do some personal pursuits and Chris joined TheFallOfScience and performed with Norwich locals The Upgrade.

 

September 2013 Astral Void recruited Nathan Redgrave and Liam Ramsker, two amazingly talented musicians. With a new line up all the unsettled, unfinished business of before now resolved. New songs, new refreshed confidence, Astral Void are even more hard hitting than before and will continue to blast their brand of alternative rock into 2015 and beyond.


perform. The band energises their audience in a way that has so far greatly surpassed any of their rivals and earned themselves an array of prominent gigs opening for acts such as Electric Six, The Quireboys, Taking Dawn and InMe to name a few.

The band have received rave reviews in the UK and state side, the now four-piece have proven to the world that they are pulling in the right direction. The music of Matchstickmen appeals to rock fans and non-rock fans alike and is an essential addition to any music lover’s library.





JACK & JONES - WRONG (SINGLE)

The German producer Rico Hartmann and the singer & songwriter, Italian native, living in the UK, Stephano Prunebelli are behind the EDM project Jack & Jones.

After the debut single "Let's escalate" was published in July 2015 and had become successful in the clubs of the nation, those two now present us with the follow-up single "Wrong" a dance floor smasher with hit-potential. The project mainly stands out from the mass of various other EDM productions, thanks to Stephano's unmistakable voice and Rico's hypnotic EDM sound.

The bundle is completed by stylistically versatile remixes of Ticane (Chillout ambience), PNO (EDM House), Peter Tanico E39 (House), X-Ite (Chill atmosphere) & DJ Schluetex (Dancehall).

We will continue to hear a lot from "Jack & Jones" in the future, because these two artists and producers are already working on new tracks.

JACK & JONES - WRONG ... rock the Club !!!

“Dark and brooding, its poignant message about the physical and emotional sacrifice of our armed forces really hits home” – Music Week Magazine

 

“A surprisingly accessible dream-like number” – Record Collector Magazine

 

“Perfectly balanced and epic” – Tasty Fanzine

 

“A haunting dose of melody and emotion” – A Metal State of Mind

 

“Jay Coen’s voice portray[s] a poignant message” – Popped Culture

 

“Soaring minimalist fret-work caked in distortion…paint[s] bleak battlefield silhouettes infused with dark imagery of a soldiers return home encased in a flag-draped casket” – Speak Into My Good Eye

 

“[A] magnificently produced rock ballad, overwhelmingly heartfelt lyrically with an equally emotive soundtrack and made even more poignant by the artist’s own experiences” – Rik Magee @ Pure Radio




Look Both Ways" is taken from their album "Soul King Fire"
on release through iTunes, Apple Music Spotify etc

 

Sonny Jim are a 3 piece guitar based combo from Bridgend, South Wales.

We first discovered Sonny Jim back in 2012 and promptly released their debut EP, ‘What’s Up With You?’ which captured a raw and heavy sound. Two singles taken from their debut EP received both regional and national radio play.  

 

2013 then saw Sonny Jim release ‘The Freaks EP’ together with a brilliant video to their monster track, ‘Freakshow’. Sonny Jim then released their awesome debut album ‘123’ but only in a traditional format to preserve their mystic. We quickly secured Sonny Jim US licensing in 2014 at a time when the band started receiving interest in the UK and internationally.

 

The time has now come for Sonny Jim to release their second album ‘Soul King Fire’ (on release May 29th) The album is a mature and considered offering but retains that heavy yet melodic ‘Sonny Jim’ sound. Tempted by an oversees offer, Sonny Jim remained faithful to their roots and Holier Than Thou Records. We are now proud to release their rocking new album and this time in a digital format.

 

The strength of Sonny Jim lies in the consistent quality of their songwriting and recordings. This is a band destined for great things although we are at risk of losing them to a major in the not too distant future. Sonny Jim thrive on playing edgy hard rock with souring melodies and ‘Soul King Fire’ dishes it out in spades, you won’t be disappointed. Long live Sonny Jim.

 

 

 

The Five Hundred are a five-man musical wrecking machine dedicated to pulverising eardrums and rattling bones across the metal landscape. Dealing in an array of down-tuned riffs and barbed hooks, the UK/Gibraltarian quintet unleash an avalanche of crushing groove and belligerent aggression, broken up by some searing leads, haunting vocal melodies and devastating, earth-shaking breakdowns.

Delivering a potent soundtrack to urban warfare and social discontent, the band have shared stages with groups ranging from brutal grind-fathers Napalm Death and industrial pioneers Fear Factory through to progressive death metallers All Shall Perish and metal media darlings Architects & Tesseract.


The Five Hundred is:
John Eley - Vocals
Mark Byrne - Guitars
Paul Doughty - Guitars
Andy Crawford - Bass
Liam Perez - Drums

Forthcoming shows:
 
26th September - Mosh Against Cancer "PadFest 2", The Hairy Dog, Derby
3rd October - Mammothfest, Brighton (supporting Feed The Rhino, Malefice & RSJ)

Road To Success VOL 3 “Memoirs from a Repertoire"

 

Following the huge successful reception of his début Mini Album “Rise Of An Empire” (a whopping 15,000 downloads, and over 200,000 youtube plays combined) Ki Faro spent the last few months performing across the UK.!
 

When Ki Faro decided to release his next project, drawing from the emotional and political state of current world affairs he found himself homeless for a sort period of time. Combining these three psychological distresses his evolution into a complete artist had begun.
 

His début video “Suruele" (A remix of a Dr Sid track) explains his harsh transition for riches to rags. However, despite the harsh realities of homelessness Ki Faro was able to bounce back with his 2nd video track “Grime tribute” tributing to the old school and new school legends of Grime. His 2 remixes of “King Kunta" “Ojuelegba” touch on sensitive social issues, whilst the rest of the mixtape is rounded off with party/trap tracks and old school hip-hop fused with the golden age lyrical content we all crave for.

 

“Definitely one to watch” - MTV !
“Intelligent lyrics, effortless style” - SoundSynergy !
“Ki Faro the new type of artist (a rapper and business mogul) - Hollywood Celebrity Gossip!

The Road To Success VOL 3: Is a compilation of freestyle’s and covers from Ki faro. Alongside exclusive tracks the “Memoir of a repertoire” direct translation leads us to believe that this is a combination of his best back catalogue tracks ranging from 2013 to newer releases recorded in late 2015. The road to Success is fused with the lyrical talent of Ki Faro. This compilation is the 3rd instalment of the "Road To Success" series.! 

Short Bio: Ki Faro burst onto the scene in 2012 with the Urban anthem ' Made in the Mana; an underground homage to the positivity and creativity which his often maligned environment can spawn ‘There are so many negative implications about being from the manor, I just wanted to show different side to it.’ 





Naomi 

Discovered after a song she wrote for her GCSE music exam led to her being featured on ITV Daybreak, Naomi has since been working with one of the world's most successful producers, John McLaughlin (Busted, 911, Westlife), who together with Dave Thomas (Echo And The Bunnymen) and Jud Mahoney (Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Chris Brown) are helping her realise her vision of what she wants her music to achieve. Her new single 'Rivers Run' is out on September 25th.

Party Hard'' has a lot of energy and sounds like a great party song! The song is produce in modern dance-club style. It was on 14 place in Top 30 most downloaded songs from djs in DJ Promotion Poland pool. Song features vocals by MC Duro great singers, song writters and producers from Czech Republic who have also few singles released so far.

"Party Hard" strotzt vor Energie und hat das Zeug zum grossartigen Partysong. Der Song wurde im aktuellen EDM Stil produziert und konnte sich bereit in den TOP30 der polnischen Dance-Charts platzieren. Die Vocals steuerte der in Tschechien lebende Produzent, Sänger und Komponist MC Duro bei.

The final countdown to OXJAM Teignmouth takeover 

The final countdown to Oxjam Teignmouth Takeover has begunOFriday 16th OctoberTeignmouth’s first ever Oxjam music festival will be taking over the seaside town with great anticipation. The event is being held at Teignmouth Rugby, Football and Supporters Club, between 7pm and midnight, and will host an exciting array of live, local music. 

With less than a month to go, final preparations are in full swing and the Oxjam Teignmouth team of music-loving volunteers have a busy, yet exciting time ahead of them. There will be two main stages for the outstanding bands to entertain the masses, with a third stage for acoustic acts to create a fine balance for all musical tastes. In addition to the music there will be the opportunity to bid for some very competitive prizes in a silent auction, and have some funky photos taken in aphoto booth. These activities will add to the fun and spirit of Oxjam, whilst helping to raise even more money for Oxfam GB. 

The music line up is truly exceptional; with the likes of Token Joker, One Man Boycott and Teignmouth’s very own Moriaty. The huge intake of band applications has been more dynamic than the Oxjam team could have imagined, especially for the first event of its kind in Teignmouth. Oxjam’s intention of celebrating music in the local community will certainly be the case for Oxjam Teignmouth, as there are so many incredible local bands and musicians. Teignmouth and the surrounding area are definitely blessed with a diverse and talented music scene.  

Local business owners of Finley Browns Café, Martin and Faye, said ‘We are very excited for Oxjam to be coming to Teignmouth this year. It is a great opportunity for local musicians, as well as local businesses, to build our community and raise money for such a good cause. We expect Oxjam Teignmouth Takeover to be a great success this year, and hope that next year we can get involved even more as a local venue.’ Finley Browns has already joined forces with Oxjam Teignmouth by providing their café as a venue for the fundraiser ‘The Pied Busker of Teignmouth’ on Saturday 19th September. 

The excitement is increasing and all efforts are focused towards making Oxjam Teignmouth Takeover a huge success. Tickets are available from www.wegottickets.com, Teignmouth Oxfam Shop, the Rugby Club, Teignmouth Tourist Information Centre and Finley Browns.

This EP grabs you immediately by showcasing the bigger and bolder sounds that have been coming from tenek’s studio as they continued to build a new foundation for their third album, ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ (Release: November 2015). Always trying new ideas, which include brilliant collaborations to their repertoire, tenek manages to create a new vibe with their music that appeals to a diverse worldwide fan-base.

This release comes with two outstanding alternate versions: a hard hitting powerhouse mix with an almost thematic feel from the well known UK composer/producer/mixer (Andy Gray / aka GrayedOut), and a second with a most unexpected darker sound for the band (remixed by Martin Swan / Vile Electrodes). Feat: Michael Steer (bass) and Steve Clark (drums). 

An added bonus is the inclusion of a re-mastered track, ‘Sombre Friday’ that originally debuted on tenek’s first album (Stateless). 

This release definitely takes the listener on a journey through the deep grooves and will get everyone moving!

Nishe (www.nisheband.com) 
from London
their new single "Lose Control" that will be officially released on October 9th.

The Sunday seeds 
Their debut LP Drowning in History, released through UK indie label Squirrel Records in 2009, led to an extensive European tour in 2010 which won the band a huge following but came at a cost. Then a couple, Romana and Drew split up in Paris, the City of Love, an experience that became the inspiration for their critically acclaimed EP Amour Tragique, a collection of five songs about love and loss.
 
Latest single Pretty People written by Romana Ashton, produced by the band and mixed by James Aparicio (Spiritualized and Mute Records) offers an insight into the direction of the album that the duo are currently writing. On one level Pretty People is about cliques and their sense of self-importance, and on another, is a caustic social commentary about our cultures fascination with the trivial, celebrity, gossip and fame by proxy.
 
A video for the single will be released on the 12th of October to coincide with the official release of the track to the public.
The Sunday Reeds will plan to tour Europe in 2016.



About 'Amour Tragique'

The Sunday Reeds obviously have an innate understanding of the spontaneous and combustible nature of rock n roll as they produce music which exudes an effortless uncontrived cool and a dangerous seductive swagger.
Andy Von Pip, The Von Pip Musical Express, September 2014
 
The Sunday Reeds skillfully combine the most exciting elements of rock n roll to create lyrically rich, infectiously melodic songs with a sound distinctly their own. The obvious comparisons are to Debbie Harry, Cher and Chrissie Hynde but Romana Ashton is her own woman with an amazing voice. Bearly Rambling review, September 2014
 
Amour Tragique is a sterling EP showcasing a band in full command of their strengths and paves the way for impressive future releases.
Matt Reiner of The Dunes, B-Side Magazine, Adelaide, September 2014
 
The Sunday Reeds remind me of the Bands from The CBGBs days. Romana has that Blondie meets Nico meets Chrissie thing going on and just enough punk attitude to pull it off , not an easy feat, what a
cool voice! Drew plays the guitar like Thurston, a weapon to release some rock n roll energy
50thirdandthird feature and interview, April 2015
 
About the single Jean-Luc from Amour Tragique:
 
Jean Luc is a superb piece of rocknroll pop noir from Melbournes The Sunday.bristling blues scales and wholesome 60s pop. Its rich and lush, dark andpoised, ominously teetering on the edge of an emotional immersive collapse but allthe while musically tight.
And So She Thinks review, September 2014
 
Weve seen a lot of new artists trying to blur the lines between shoegaze and grunge, but they never produce anything that really stands out as signalling a return to Grunge. But if anything is going to give us that signal, its Jean-Luc by Australias The Sunday Reeds. Its a total grunge powerhouse of a track, from a band who describe themselves as Shirley Manson fronting The Rolling Stones. We couldnt have put it
better ourselves.

You can listen to Charlee M's new track, Live My Dream below:



Formed in 2014 in the Midlands, Interrobang have set to create a new alternative, grunge tinted sound, full of depth, dirt and power. 

With the amount of alternative influences in the mix the band have already been credited as having created a fresh new sound that holds a torch to their influences, including: Pearl Jam, Faith No More, Soundgarden, RHCP and Melvins.

 

Live Reviews:

 

Smashmouthmetal.co.uk:

 

Second up were grunge quartet Interrobang, who put on a great performance, gnarly guitar work, melodic vocals and a bass line worthy of a Rage Against the Machine notation, carried the show though with an exceptional display of their alternative stylings.

 

Music224.com:

 

It was a sad day indeed when Diamond Lil called it a day but I secretly hoped that it wouldn’t be too long before Ellis Wilde picked up the mic again and set about launching a new era and I’m exceptionally chuffed to say that Interrobang are well and truly launched! Describing themselves as sitting within the grunge and alternative rock vein doesn’t quite cover it in my book, as the music that Interrobang have created for themselves delivers a far greater appeal especially when you take into account the melodic snazzy skills of guitar maestro, Sam Rutter. Great performance from Interrobang tonight and I’m looking forward to catching many more!

 

 

The dates we have booked up so far are:

13th Sep (B'ham)

10th Oct (Tamworth)

5th December (Dudley)

19th December (B'ham)



Get ready to skank, pogo, mosh, jig, polka and maybe even waltz The sound of Counting Coins refuses to stay still, switching from ska-punk to gypsy to hip-hop and back again, several times, within the same song.
 
Since forming in 2009, Counting Coins have steadily built up a reputation or stealing the spotlight and getting the crowds bouncing during their around their raucously energetic live shows - whether its a headline or a support slot, they want everyone to have a good time and refuse to take no for an answer!

After the success of their 2010 release 'Take the Ride' and 2013s EP 'Reach for the Sky', the Coins boys have been on a constant rampage across the UK and Europe tearing up support slots with Random Hand, Sonic Boom 6, The New Town Kings, The Talks, Jaya the Cat, Babar Luck (ex King Prawn), The King Blues, The JB Conspiracy, Neville Staple (ex The Specials), The Stiff Joints as well as smashing festival stages such as Boomtown, Rebellion, Tramlines, Galtres and Freedom Festival along the way.

New single 'Dont Look Down' featuring Robin Leitch, (Random Hand) & Pat Pretorius (The Talks) is the eagerly awaited first release from Counting Coins' forthcoming eponymous album.

Building on the success of their video for 2012's single 'What Gives You the Right', which has gained over 25,000 YouTube views, the video for 'Dont Look Down' features crowds from tCounting Coin's local following. The fans were invited to a Coins Style Party and the resulting footage gives an insight into the energy the crowd generate at a the band's shows.

The band have one clear message: "No enemies, no strangers GET INVOLVED!"

'Dont Look Down' will be released on 1st October 2015 as a digital download on All Our Own Records.
 

"Counting Coins pay more than passing homage to the angry, politicised Ska, Punk and New Wave of the late 70's - energetic, ferocious and fizzing with unpredictability. I love it!"
Katy Noone, Producer, BBC Introducing
 
"Reminding me of Operation Ivy and Capdown in their heyday... Counting Coins are the most refreshing band Ive seen for years with the most amazing energy"
Pat Pretorius, Producer/musician, The Talks/Neville Staples/Bad Manners/The Beat

They have fused together the attitude of Punk Rock with the diversity of modern day music mixing it up into a party were all invited to; this is revolutionary music for the people.
Stew Baxter, Project manager, Warren records
 
A high energy slap in the face live act who generally have a knack for writing catchy and original songs that mix elements of ska, reggae, hip-hop and punk
Gaz Peacham, Revolution Sounds Promotions

Nishe
Lose Control 
9 October 2015
Nishe are an alternative/indie rock band from London. Giovanni Zappa (lead vocals, guitar, electronics), Harold Wilson (bass, backing vocals) and Thomas Romer-Smith (drums) each bring a diverse range of influences to create guitar music with urban grooves and cutting edge electronic layers.

The band explore an intriguing balance between tension and explosion, comfort and incisiveness, contemplation and grip, to create music filled with contagious hooks and loaded with excitement.

First meeting in August 2013, it took just three months for the band to record their first EP 'This is Nishe', which has earned enthusiastic reviews from  bloggers and online magazines as well as gaining airplay on many local and online radio stations (including BBC Introducing) on both sides of the Atlantic.

Nishe travelled to New York in March 2015, a trip that was a great source of inspiration to the band, broadening their vision and encouraging the band to explore a more Urban sound.
Nishe release their new single 'Lose Control' on October 9th along with an official video filmed on the streets of NYC.

Saint Cole
Within This Skin 
31 October 2015

Nic (vocals/producer/DJ) and Curt (guitar/keys) are from a small town called Dewsbury in West Yorkshire just two miles from Morley, home of the legendary nineties techno night The Orbit. Heavily influenced by this scene and the now legendary stories surrounding the club, Nic started producing and mixing hard dance/techno. 
 

Saint Cole represents Nic's passion for dance music fused with his love of indie/rock. He cites influences as diverse as The Beatles, The Stone Roses, The La's, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack and Leftfield. Saint Cole was born when he started working with his life long friend Curt. The duo were soon joined by third band member Martin Kolcak who is based in Slovakia and contributes artwork, visuals and animation. Neither Nic nor Curt have met Martin yet, though this is set to change when Saint Cole embark on a tour in summer 2016, complete with live visuals.

The Chadelics
Out of Line / I.C.U. 
UPFL Records 
31 October 2015
The Chadelics are a young Brit-Rock quartet from Cumbria who combine the essence of Punk with swirling jangly guitars and pop sensibilities. Led by vocalist and songwriter Joe Mansergh, the band have already earned the attention of BBC Radio 1's Huw Stevens and BBC Radio 6 Music's Steve Lamacq, securing airplay on both shows, as well as being championed by BBC Introducing in Cumbria. 

The Chadelics have gigged extensively across the UK, taking in support slots for Inspiral Carpets and a festival appearance at Kendal Calling where they were widely tipped as one of the highlights of the weekend. Their music was featured in the groundbreaking play 'Red Tap/Blue Tiger' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2014.

The Chadelics new double A side single 'Out of Line' and 'I.C.U' is released on 31st October 2015 as a digital download as well as on limited edition CD and vinyl, both will be available at live shows.


"The Chadelics have an incredibly rough and ready way of music and composing. The sound they strive for is Jangly-pop and garage rock in the words of Mansergh. Gritty guitar lines, round melodic bass lines and thumping tom work are what make The Chadelics the rough and edgy three piece they are. Mansergh has an incredibly distinct voice that works great for the band as well as impressive songwriting energy and creativity that started from the age of thirteen when he wrote his first song and has grown to the quality that it is today." 
Noise Cannon
 
"Behind the youthful on-stage exuberance, there's a strong songwriting craft on show tonight, merging catchy riffs that attach themselves to your ears with strong, intelligent lyrics and delicious harmonies that will have both the kids and their parents swooning over them."

The Little Unsaid
Can We Hear It? 
9 October 2015
The Little Unsaid was stewed up in the badlands of West Yorkshire by multi-instrumentalist, producer, poet and songwriter John Elliott. After beginning as a solo project, The Little Unsaid has evolved into a growing community of touring musicians and producers blending folk, electronica, orchestral music and a meticulous songwriting craft with Johns haunting, androgynous vocals.
 
Following on the heels of two well-received, crowd-funded albums, his third, Fisher King, is the result of traumatic personal crisis, reflected in the musics genre-hopping complexity, lyrical honesty and moments of cathartic release. It was recorded over four weeks in a London basement, in the middle of Highgate Cemetery, in the steeple of a crumbling Islington church, and on a tiny island in the middle of the Celtic Sea.
 
The album was mixed by Graeme Stewart, long-time Radiohead engineer and producer of Jonny Greenwoods solo work, which has included producing and mixing the music for Hollywood movies such as There Will Be Blood andThe Master
 
The songs on Fisher King are part-inspired by books that John became obsessed with during his self-imposed isolation in the hills of West Yorkshire in Winter 2014. These include Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, Dantes Inferno, The Death of Bunny Munro by Nick Cave, andThe Waste Land by T.S. Eliot (a poem from which the album title was taken). The tone of these literary works correlated with Johns own explorations of the destructive nature of human desire and the loss of faith in the face of catastrophe, which has bled its way into all of the songs on the album.
 
The lead single 'Can We Hear It ?' was selected by Catherine Cunning Coco Media & Artist Management and Mark Gardener OX-4-Sound, frontman of legendary Oxford band Ride, who also mixed the single during breaks from their recent world tour.

The songs nursery-rhyme style iterations mourn the loss of childhood innocence, over a sliced-up sample of primary school children singing one of Johns older songs (this sample was recorded during his time working in a primary school in East London). This childlike mantra loops throughout the song over a playful electronic beat as sweeping strings and a twisted Mariachi brass section rise out of the nostalgic melancholy into a celebratory climax.
 
For the third time, John successfully enlisted the help of a dedicated and growing fan base to fund the making of the album. Via crowd-funding platform Pledge Music, fans were offered pre-orders as well as limited edition artwork, personalized songs, acoustic albums and private concerts, to crowd-fund the recording, mixing and mastering of the album. A percentage of the funds raised is to be donated to UK charity Youth Music, which provides young people who are experiencing challenging circumstances with opportunities to make and be educated in music.
 
After appearing at major festivals including Glastonbury this summer, The Little Unsaid is now preparing for a UK and European full-band tour to launch the single and perform tracks from the new album Several of these shows will feature special performances with regular collaborators the Southfield String Quartet, who perform Johns string arrangements on all of his releases.
