Platform promotions presents Only the Good + The Dixsons + Sicum +Burning Thirteen

Only the Good:
Upbeat rockers Only The Good tear open the dark underbelly of Heavy Metal and stuff it with energetic punk attitude, before marinading in a sweaty mix of high octane rhythms and screaming guitar harmonies. Best served with naan and lager.

Having been playing for over a year at various venues in and around Birmingham, such as The Flapper, Jug Of Ale, Bar Academy, Varsity Wolverhampton, The Palace Tamworth, supporting several acts such as Bryn Christopher (signed to Polydor records), the band is well established on the live scene.

On our live performance, thehearingaid.blogspot.com say" Only The Good! The lead guitarist's t-shirt summed it up pretty well really, ' Heavy Fuckin Metal'. He was a bit of a star actually, how the hell you do all of that head banging stuff without losing one of your frontal lobes I'll never know. Musically they rocked the Maiden out of the place, plenty of quality fret wanking and bonus points for the feet on the monitors ending. Nice touch."

Sicum:

With the energy of Rage Against The Machine, the funk of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the middle finger of Eminem, Sicum are anything but your average band. Sicum are not here to be cool or gain your respect, only to give you the chance to break free from today. Gaining more support, from fans and fellow bands alike, every gig they play, including headlining the Midlands Regional Gig at the Barfly, Sicum are definitely going places and everyone’s invited. Mixing funky hip-hop bass lines and rock/rap drum beats layered under funk-rock and alternative guitar riffs and thought provoking lyrics Sicum have managed to create a raw sound that feels completely fresh and inviting but gives no apologies. By allowing each member to individually express themselves through their instrument they have created a tight and very solid sound. This all combines and comes across very strong in their live performances where they’re not scared of connecting with the crowd. “The crowd is as much a part of each song as we are”. All minds want to break free, now there is someone to open the door. Sicum, music
