Jesus H Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse
We're an eight piece punk/rock/metal band with horns from New York
City. Our songs are about the ugly truths of human nature. The
painful, selfish, jealous, petty, crabbing, literary-reference-
sucking, egotistical quirks that are woman. And man. Our debut
album has gathered mostly great attention from people with brains who
can still get hard ons but one guy hates us. We hate him too. It
feels good to hate too.

Dale Davies
"I am a 26 year old solo singer, songwriter, guitarist with a backing band for live performances. I have about 30 original and unique tracks that i have written and produced, five of which have been released from my soon to be complete album 'eternal batchelor'.
I may well be collaberating with a couple of big names in the music industry but i am unable to mention details yet. I have been offered gigs and showcases all around Wales, England, Scotland and USA by many different companies, labels, promoters and managers. I'm hoping to do as many as possible as soon as my backing band learn my tracks to the standard I require.
I am currently looking for an manager and a record label. An International corporation of talent agents has offered me a contract, I am yet to sign. The best myspace chart ratings i have had is number 1 for acoustics internationally, number 18 for all genres internationally and I am regularly at number 1 for all genres in Wales.
Please feel free to check out a more detailed bio and listen to my playable tracks on
www.myspace.com/daledavies."

I.C.O.N
Fast becoming one of the UK's most talked about underground metal bands,
I.C.O.N, formed in Burnley in 1999, had an unconventional start, spending
years touring and recording with a drum machine due to a lack of suitable
drummer, but winning fans over with energetic, exciting live performances
and strong, original material.
I.C.O.N roar into 2006 in the only way that they know how; with attitude,
anger and their brand of hard-nosed fist pounding metal anthems, getting the
I.C.O.N message out there as far and as wide as possible, pushing ever
harder through excellent live shows and the release of the new EP 'CONTROL'.

Ninepages
Ninepages is the result of two bands formed around January 2005. The members all have very different tastes and influences which contribute to the Ninepages sound. Influences range from Sikth, Deftones, Seether to Meshuggah.
The band recorded their first demo in May 2005 and subsequently played their very first gig at the Mean Fiddler in Tottenham Court Road London. A second demo was recorded, entitled "Walking through Timelines", in November 2005, which so far have received great reviews. The drum recording on the 2nd demo was done at Moon Studios with the rest including the mixing, and production being done by Francois at home. The third demo, as yet untitled, was recorded in the same manner as the previous demo and was released in April of this year.

IRRITANT
With a renewed line-up and refined musical style, IRRITANT have recently returned from recording their third EP "Old Bones". Recorded at Lodge Studios, Northampton, the four track EP displays the band's taste for Heavy Metal, Progressive and Anthem-like Rock. Drawing influence from bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Rush and many others, IRRITANT infuse a duel guitar assault with musical creativity influenced by the latter.
Playing at a number of established live venues across the UK, with bands such as FourWayKill, Forever Never, Speed Theory, The Darwin Theory and I-Def-I, IRRITANT have created a reputation for their energetic performances and musicianship. After performing at Gloucester Festival 2005 Stephen Morris of the BBC described the band as "More metallic than metal itself - well to the right hand side of the Periodic Table" with "Scorching Hot Lead Guitar and meaningful lyrics ; ones to watch out for".

Oki Dog
Oki Dog invented themselves by accident a while ago and are a) very
close,
b) very shambolic (in a tight-as-rude-things sort of way, though), and
c)
very shouty. They make shouty music to shout to, with shouty guitars,
shouty
rhythms and ever so shouty vocal - “Why don’t you eat me baby? I taste
like
Lychee honey” becomes the band’s motto. Oki Dog do smash-and-grab
ditties to
ram raid East end boutiques to, with evil glint in eye and pointy
scuffed
shoe aimed at groin. In other words, they are much fun - so much fun
that
they even played in a REAL toilet in London Fashion Week.
And it seemed like luck’s been on their side. Over 40 shambolic gigs
were
played with violent whip action; outrageous songs were written that wet
a
lot of pants. Soon, they found themselves played alongside TheD4 and
they
had only two rehearsals. “It’s all about live music and energy,” Grace
adds.
Since, the dogs have enjoyed mayhem with Neil’s Children, Nic
Armstrong,
Mikabomb, The Rocks, Martini Henry Rifles, Crack Village, Electric Eel
Shock, Oceansize, Milk Teeth, thisGIRL, Ludes and the Roolettes.
Oki Dog is the brutal bitch.
