444 Club presents Exit Calm + Dogfight Revolution + The Hoi Polloi +The Guile DJ Set

Exit Calm:
As guitar music seeps into a harangued watered down version of itself courtesy of vacuous copyists and insipid careerists, one name shines through like a sole beacon in the middle of a one-dimensional, smoggy sea.

EXIT CALM are Scott Pemberton (drums), Simon Lindley (bass), Rob Marshall (guitars) and Nicky Smith (vocals). To call them a breath of fresh air would merely be understating their value; quite simply they are the most exciting, invigorating and dare we say it, unique, guitar-based band to emerge from these shores in quite some time.

Having initially formed in the South Yorkshire town of Barnsley back in late 2006, Exit Calm spent the next eighteen months writing and honing their sound. Spring 2008 saw them release their first limted release, live favourite ‘Higher Learning’ on clubAC30 Records while their euphoric live shows have attracted spates of attention culminating in them being invited as main support on The Music’s ‘Strength In Numbers’ UK tour in June 2008.

Comparisons to date have seen their mesmerising guitar eclipses likened to the early sounds of My Bloody Valentine , Ride, Spiritualized and the elaborate skyscraping voyages of Explosions In The Sky, while the captivating presence of front man Nicky Smith offers an intense aside to their brooding noise that renders them completely unforgettable once seen for the first time.

Dogfight Revolution:
Hailing from Wolverhampton and Birmingham, The Dogfight Revolution began to stamp their distinctive mark on the Midlands music scene early in 2007 with their unique blend of psychedelic drone rock and eastern mystics. The four piece’s revolutionary sound has evolved from a fusion of influences…Syd Barrett, Velvet Underground, Primal Scream, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spacemen 3, 13th Floor Elevators, Sonic Youth, Verve. Guitars, drums and bass are joined by drone machine, theremin, synth, Indian percussion and flute to create an inimitable wall of sound….a sound which pays homage to their legendary influences whilst breathing new life into their psychedelic roots.
After a line of successful gigs around the region, with the most recent invitation to open the main stage at Godiva Festival in Coventry alongside the hotly tipped Glasvegas, Exit Calm and headliners The Enemy, the band are now releasing their first demo.

The Hoi Polloi:
The Hoi Polloi have been together for 3 years and consists of 4 musicians from the Black Country in the West Midlands who have locked themselves away in a rehearsal room until they felt that the time was right to try and gain exposure and industry attention.

The Hoi Polloi have a huge sound but are also able to create an ambience that can cross over to a wide audience. This has been true at recent high profile supports with bands such as Ghosts among others.

The band have also produced some acomplished recordings but should be seen live for music lovers to fully appreciate the passion, sweat and raw emotion that this band delivers from song to song.

Rehab promotions present Elysium Eye + Reign of Fear

Elysium Eye is the result of a collaboration between like-minded musicians, all determined to transform the global metal scene with their unique brand of Visual Kei inspired metal. Their sound is the result of a fusion of many individual genres, and two contemplative glances to the sounds of the western metal scene, inspired by the intensity and glamour of the Japanese Visual Kei rock movement. With break through acts such as Dir En Grey yielding a colossal international fan base, it is certain that the world is only seeing the tip of the ice berg in terms of the international impact that this new breed of rock will bring, a movement which Elysium Eye are very much a part of.
Formed in 2007, Elysium Eye consists of five members all willing to devout their future to the band. Over the past year the band have been working on material for a debut release, and wish to develop this material in a studio environment. With debut single 'Bullets' having been recorded in August, the band are set to record two more studio singles at the end of October.
The band have a handful of live shows lined-up in their local area, and have so far received a hugely positive response from metal fans around the county. The band are looking for a record deal and their big break.

Reign of Fear begun from the humble beginnings of Birmingham and are a brutal four piece metal band comprised of best friends: Dougy, Alex and Pete. With a hard work ethic these lads are making waves in the local music scene and will continue to do so. If you like real Metal hard and fast check out REIGN OF FEAR's new ep SCARS OF TIME.Since the completion of the Scars of Time cd the Band have been hard at work writing for their first full length release 'As Babylon Burns' hoping to be out in the Winter

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

444 Club presents Glamour of the Kill + My Alamo + The Mannequin Republic

My Alamo:
Fresh from a year of touring and releasing their debut album, My Alamo emerge from the woods as the sun rises on summer 2008.

With a new albums worth of material already recorded, work on album 2 continues. 2007 saw the band play major festivals (Download, Oxygen) and highly well received supports including the explosive winter UK tour with The Zico Chain.

Already critically acclaimed in Kerrang! (4 k's 'this crackling taut debut casts a satisfyingly heavy shadow - brilliant') and Rock Sound ( 7 /10 'Modern punk spirit and bags of raw energy these tracks stand out every time') My Alamo's eponymous debut is available to buy via the bands own label 7th Star Recordings. Intense, original and unafraid of hyperbole... We give you the fantastic: My Alamo.

The Mannequin Republic:
The band that is The Mannequin Republic started off as pure jammin' nearing the end of 2005 but then, soon developed into something far greater. At the beginning of 2006, after Loz left old band Farside, they decided to take things to the next level, developing new, exciting and original material. After taking time to polish up their act and develop their own style, they hit the stage for the first time, mid 2006 at a low-profile gig at The Actress and Bishop. After the huge success of that gig, The Mannequin Republic are set to be gigging all around Birmingham very soon.

With the tight, complexed rhythms of Dan and Ben, complimented by the genius lyrics, intense fretwork and jaw-dropping vocal-work of Loz, it's easy to see that The Mannequin Republic are going places!

Humbucker / Arc Promotions present The Meaning + Angelheart + Dusk + Blue Nation

Blue Nation:
Neil Murdoch (Vocals / Guitar)

Neil is the main songwriter, guitarist and singer. He aims to always keep things simple with his song writing and the band. He brings ideas to Oli, Paula and Ade then they thrash it out until it is just where they want it! His main influences are The Who, Small Faces, The Beatles, Paul Weller, OCS and many, many more. Likes any guitar as long as it’s a Gibson!
A few years ago during a sound check “Big Mick” sound engineer for Metallica , was heard to say “ where the ****** **** did that skinny kid (Neil) get that great voice from?” We still don’t know…

Paula Keogh (Vocals)

Paula is an accomplished musician and adds these skills to the group to work out the harmonies and the vocal arrangement of the songs. Can play any instrument after about 5mins and has sung Blues, Jazz, show songs and choir you name it she sings it. During a recent studio recording session became known as “one take” due to the quality, accuracy and speed with which she nailed her vocal. Her brother was clearly impressed as he had taken a little longer.

Oli Jefferson (Drums)

Oli is the youngest member of the band, he definitely falls in to the category. “If you’re good enough you are old enough. “ Being the son of a renowned Midland drummer, it was quite obvious drumming would play a big part in his life. From an early age he has been entertaining, having performed with the Royal Ballet in both Birmingham and London, but after an injury ended his dance career, he threw himself heavily into music. His preferred instruments are drums and percussion, although he also plays piano and guitar. Musical influences are the Trevor Burton Band, having watched almost all of their gigs since age 11, Spin Doctors, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Clash, The Who, Inme and many more!!

Ade Derbyshire (Bass Guitar)

Ade is the most recent member of the band, joining in Jan 2007. He was at a BN gig when Neil asked the audience if they knew any Bass Guitarists as BN were looking for one. Ade had a word and after a few rehearsals and an audition gig he was offered the slot.
Ade considers himself an easy going musician who never takes things too seriously. He has been playing guitar for many years and became a full time Bass Guitarist with his last band Jaygo. Because of his guitar background his bass riffs really compliment Neil’s rhythm / lead work. Not surprisingly Ade’s influences 5ac are guitar based Indie bands like The Smiths, Idlewild, Manics and the lovely unsung heroes of the mid 90’s, Gene.

Dusk:
We are a three piece alternative rock group from Sutton Coldfield, consisting of frontman Jon, drummer Matt and bassist Adam. The band formed when frontman Jonno and drummer Matt had a practice session at the Way Inn in Sutton, and invited Adam along. Adam picked up the bass at that session and the band was then formed. We have a number of our own songs and are currently writing more, heading towards an EP or album in the not-too-distant future. We're working on getting recordings up on the MySpace, so check back every now and then for new songs and stuff =]

Bands we have been fortunate enough to share the stage with:
- Babelfish

Alan then played in various bands with his brother doug . after a break from music Alan formed Bond Street in the mid eighties, Bond Street merged into After The Rain some members left and some joined and this was the birth of Alans most successful band to date The Reign signed to rooster records The Reign released the debut single in 1987 and were close to signing a major deal with CBS records before splitting in 1989 The Reign can be viewed as one of Angel Hearts friends .Alan did not play in any other bands until 2007 when he formed Angel Heart .Aaron Foy began playing guitar whilst at school and soon became a natural to the axe ,through his school years Aaron played with several line ups some of those line ups included his girlfriend and bass player Hayley Dyke Aarons ability and determination shows in his playing ,his dedication and input into the material alan has wrote has been priceless, Hayley was unsure whether or not she wished to continue playing but she was soon back into groove of things and has become a major asset ,her style of bass playing fits in great and as aarons girlfriend and a great friend of both alan and nathan we are all pleased to have her . Alan Aaron and Hayley met Nathan in the winter of 2007 and all became good friends very quickly, Nathan was at this point playing guitar with a band but he expressed an interest in joining angel heart as a drummer an instrument nathan has been studying as a student at stratford college , Nathan a music tech student brings many attributes to the band he is a talented guitarist ,drummer, and vocalist

Acoustic Brew present The No Time Wasters + Lo Fi Lung + Yeadon and the Good, Bad and the Ugly.

Lo Fi Lung:
Lo-Fi Lung was formed in August 2007 by two Midlands musicians: Chris The Activist and Dew. Together they have developed each others material as well as writing their own original tracks, creating their own eclectic mix of electro/acoustica.

The diverse nature of their influences and broad musical experience has culminated into what has been described as “a broadly ambient acoustic driven sound.” Their lyrics are founded on social/cultural themes, influenced by natural and environmental ideals.

They have already played at many varied venues around the country whilst developing their style to fit different moods and atmospheres. From full on electronic sets to totally acoustic sets and improvised ambient jams, their music has always been well received.

In 2008 Lo-Fi Lung intend to maintain the momentum of their live success and continue recording and developing their sound. They aim to play at gigs and festivals around the country, and welcome invitations to 'come and play' If you are organising an event, festival or gig please contact them.

Acoustic Brew present Kings of the Heath + Jonny Hands

Kings of the Heath:
A chance meeting of John and Rich, former members of Stolen Honey and See Saw, whilst on their way to two different children's birthday parties led to the formation of the band. We were joined and then left by Matt Sterlini on Guitar, Patch Kite on drums and Ben Harpwood on harmonica. We lost them to Air Traffic Control, Cricket and Opera respectively. Now with Pete Hill on bass, we're a cool, acoustic combo.

Jonny Hands:
Hi, i'm Jonny Hands, an acoustic artist from Birmingham. I have an EP available if anyone would like one (for free) give me a message. I will be playing gigs around the Midlands over the summer and i am always writing and recording new songs, so keep an eye (and an ear) out if you like what you hear. I hope you enjoy listening :)

Arc Promotions present Shoot Panda!?

With an emphasis placed on embodying their youth and energy in their sound, Shoot, Panda!? attempt to break musical boundaries with their hybrid of indie-esque, dancable drumming, electronic-influenced guitar tone and pounding bass; an originality beyond their years. With songs with topics ranging from lust to youth subcultures, careful detail is paid to lyrical content as much as musical content. With scathing attacks on the 'chav' and 'scene'-based 'cultures' so prevelent in modern Britain, these boys make no secret of their roots.
With influences ranging from the electro, hardcore and indie genres (among countless others), something different, perhaps surprising is guaranteed from Shoot, Panda!?; believe that!

The Go! Club presents Dead in the Queue + support band

Dead in the Queue:

Reviews -
'though relative newcomers to the derby scene dead in the queue have quickly risen to the upper echleons of nappy rash favourite bands. reminiscent to these ears of the second wave of bands that emerged post 76 but also and crucially of the australian bands of that era. this is not to say they are not themselves either because they are. we leave tribute acts to the flowerpot.'

-Nappy Rash Collective (promotions)

'Next were Dead In The Queue. Man, what a fun band live! So often, punky bands tend to have a tedious fake “oooh, we’re angry, we’re going to abuse the audience” attitude. There was none of that bullshit from DITQ, they just played a storming set of garagey, shouty, singalongy punk that would bring a tear to the eyes of any Dead Boys or Dolls fan. And they had FUN so we had FUN!"

-Jyoti Mishra. Bzangy Groink.

(Live Review. Victoria Inn. 26/01/08)

“Unfortunately I missed the beginning of Derby skunk-punk band Dead In The Queue but, from the second song onwards, it was full throttle. Soundgarden speeded up, Bad Brains slowed down. It's a shame that they played to a mostly vacated room because, in a packed house, these guys would rip it up. Tonight though, despite playing a damn fine set, it just wasn't to be.”
