The Catapult Club present My Own Agenda + The Fakulty + Dennis + Eastern Gun Club
MY OWN AGENDA:
MY OWN AGENDA is emerging as one of the Uks hardest playing rock quartet of recent years. Building upon their energetic yet emotional and interesting songs, the group are providing powerful live perfomances which are leaving audiences with that, "next big thing" vibe.
From day one the combined efforts of brothers Matt (vocals) and Rich (drums) has been to bring to the forefront of the Rock scene their unique style of mixing heavy rock riffs with interesting melodies and thought provoking lyrics. With guitarist Rob W and then bassist Dunc joining the brothers, they are pushing the boundaries of the alternative music scene.
With their new EP - BETWEEN ROCK AND A HARD PLACE My Own Agenda continue to step across the barriers of Rock music. With the powerful guitar riffs on the opening track "Where Did You Go", to the laid back and stripped down "Song About The War", My Own Agenda continue to surprise and excite their audiences.
Eastern Gun Club:
'Eastern Gun Club have been playing in and around Birmingham for the past year now and are starting to kick up a bit of a fuss. Regulars on local mixtapes and online radio shows – their swagger is perhaps personified in the guitarist’s white boots. You’ve gotta be good to wear them and he was. ‘Back To The End’ is bass heavy – like much of EGC’s output – but laced with some sheer quality guitar work – the affect is layered and on a better set-up would create a really rounded sound. Led by the baseline once more, ‘Sink Or Swim,’ uses hooked vocals and some Strokes-esque high intensity-strumming to leave you feeling a little bit Kylie. “I just can’t get it out of my head…” “I’ll sink and you swim/This is where we begin/I’m not leaving you out but I’m leaving you in” ‘Jane’ is without question the tune of the night. Drummer Matt Bullock takes over vocal duties and proves perfect foil for regular vocalist Driver to juxtapose with. "Jane/ You’re like a fucking train/ Flying through my brain." The baseline screams early Kasabian and the simple kick drum adds such ferocious intensity I have to fight the urge to lamp my mate standing next to me. It’s arrogant, it’s bolshy and it’s definitely the direction these boys should head in.' (Gigwise.com)
"Although only formed in early 2007, eGc are busy gigging in and around the city, catching a few headlines and playing venues that include The Flapper & Firkin, The Jug of Ale and Bar Academy. Catchy melodies mixed with guitar riffs with massive hooks and driving bass lines, guarantee to get the audience going and assure that by the end of the night you will be singing along." (icBirmingham.co.uk)
"Eastern Gun Club are thankfully nothing like the current wave of cookie cutter “indie” bands that are seemingly impossible to get away from these days. Borrowing the best bits and ditching the fluff, they create an excitingly offbeat, angular-indie sound dipped in heavy distortion and feedback. They’ve got a refreshing direction and it serves them well. Complex, interesting guitar work and punchy beats combine with Jon’s strong, off-key vocal drone for something that’s hard to put into a nice tidy genre-box, but hard not to be impressed with". (Stephen Hudyba, BBC)
