<span style="font-size: small;">If you've never been to Supersonic festival (held every year in the heart of Birmingham and organised by the rather unique promoter Capsule) you are doing yourself a disservice. Catering for the more "out there" styles of music as well as some more commonly known acts, it may well be the most diverse and interesting festival you'll ever attend. We've put together a breakdown of all the artists performing (as it stands). It's not only music...you'll get panel discussions, films (a highlight for me in 2010 was a screening of Mogwai's "Burning" concert in NYC introduced by Stuart Braithwaite himself), record stalls and cupcakes...lovely cupcakes.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span><b>Bohren & Der Club of Gore</b><br />If you enjoy it slow and low, Germany’s Bohren & Der Club Of Gore will very likely do the trick. In fact, with each subsequent release the German quartet's music grows increasingly refined. Playing together since 1988, that band hint at doom, jazz, drone and contemporary classical with an unparalleled restrain. Live shows are few and far between. We are honoured to host them at Supersonic Festival 2012.<br /><a href="http://www.bohrenundderclubofgore.de/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://www.<wbr></wbr>bohrenundderclubofgore.de/</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span>The Bug's first album,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Tapping The Conversation</i>, was released in 1997 on the seminal Wordsound label.

From 2001-2004 The Bug collaborated with UK reggae soundsystem veteran The Rootsman on a number of limited edition 7" singles, released on the Razor X label.

Dope Body are road doggies, funsters, and gleeful pummellers of basement and attic parties alike, wide-eyed fanatics of the craft that the more reasonable among us might mistake for insanity (it isn't entirely so). Dope Body is a spasm of styles and directions, showering sparks from a half-melted thickness. They writhe under their own influences and experiments, swinging and swaying from guttural chugging to charming riffs n licks within the confines of a single tune. Promoting their brand new album, Natural History, Dope Body are in possession of what might be their most COMMERCIALLY ACCESSIBLE album ever – especially if your idea of "commercially accessible" is Half- Machine Lips Moves/Psychic, Powerless.../or "Salad Days"-era punk. They have well and truly honed their own off-kilter sound, replete with heavy walls of rhythm, raw electronics and vocals that grunt and yelp with an animalistic ferocity. Lock up your daughters, your boyfriends, your kids - keep your own body in check - no one body's the same, but everybody's body is sure to get weird when it comes into contact with Dope Body!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><a href="http://www.dragcity.com/artists/dope-body" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">http://www.dragcity.com/<wbr></wbr>artists/dope-body</a><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Drunk in Hell</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; display: inline ! important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">BORO SCUM PUNK INFLUENCED By BOOZE, DRUGS, SEX, VIOLENCE, VIOLENT SEX, PORN, ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION HELL, PERSONALITY DISORDERS, INSOMNIA, PARANOIA, HANGING AROUND WAITING TO SCORE, SCORING SHIT GEAR, SHIT NIGHTS OUT, HANGOVERS, COMEDOWNS, MALNUTRITION, BOREDOM, THE DOLE, SHIT 9-5 JOBS, PUBLIC TRANSPORT, BEING FUCKING BROKE, RELIGION (ESPECIALLY ROMAN CATHOLICISM), CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIENDS, SERIAL KILLERS, LANDLORD CUNTS, ARSEHOLE 'FRIENDS', DEAD FRIENDS, SUICIDE, DEATH, MURDER AND PARMOS.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/drunkinhell" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">www.myspace.com/drunkinhell</a><span><span> </span></span></span></div>

Her 14-year involvement with Swans cemented her place as an icon in avante garde music and she has worked prolifically as a solo artist and collaborator since. Her delivery has been described as voice acting and also channeling. A primary objective for Jarboe is to close in on the gap in the audience/performer relationship via complete submission and vicarious experience through her performance.<br /><a href="http://www.thelivingjarboe.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://www.thelivingjarboe.com</a><br /><br /><b>JK Flesh</b><br />Godflesh, Head of David, Napalm Death, Techno Animal, Jesu, Greymachine, Palesketcher – just some of the projects from the insanely prolific Justin Broadrick, who in his new relationship with 3by3, raises his Techno Animal moniker JK Flesh from the dead for it’s debut full-length outing, to once again prove his mastery of all things brutal. Soul-crushingly dark beats and bass, layered with Broadrick's inimitable guitar and vocal fuzz, providing a stark contrast to 2010’s Palesketcher output, that will resonate with fans of Godflesh and the post-dubstep landscape alike.<br /><a href="http://justinkbroadrick.blogspot.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">justinkbroadrick.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br /><b>Kevin Drumm</b><br />Emerging from the Chicago’s improvised music scene, in the 1990s he became one of the world's pre-eminent prepared guitar players.

Drumm's work draws upon musique concrète, electronic sound, improvisation, heavy metal, and noise music.

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>For his new documentary the Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller and his sometime accomplice Nick Abrahams turn their attention to fellow film pioneer and iconic performance artist Bruce Lacey. Three years in the making the film examines Lacey’s remarkable legacy as a painter and sculptor (creating extraordinary mechanical devices in the 1960s), an avant-garde filmmaker (alongside Dick Lester and Bob Godfrey) and as an all-round cultural chameleon, working with The Goons, The Beatles and even folk-rock super-group Fairport Convention. An intimate portrait of a self confessed 'silly bugger' and true visionary artist who, at the age of 85, still lives the bohemian dream; creating art and magic in a farmhouse near Norwich. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Mariexxme's lush documentary "The Luxury of Empire", filmed on the French leg of Oxbow's 2009 European tour offers an intimate portrait of a band in full artistic maturity. It sees them undergoing the daily trials of touring with grace and provides sometimes touching and humorous insights into an otherwise mysterious band. The film's dark, cinematic aesthetic was inspired by the atmosphere of Oxbow's recent work. It echoes its title and is interlaced with live performances and candid interviews in which the band peel away the layers of their processes and which bring the viewer as close as it's possible to get to a band without being in it.</span></span></div>

<div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>The Vinyl Rally is an large-scale installation combining sound art, video art and kinetic sculpture into every kid and kidult’s dream-hybrid; an immersive participatory play-set playing off vinyl fetishism, video arcade mystique and the machismo of motor sports in a video game played within a real world setting!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Classic first person video racing is simulated as remote control cars with styli attached, race across a track constructed from a mass of disused vinyl records. Transmitting sound (produced as the styli skim along the vinyl surface) and vision (from wireless spy cameras mounted to the front of each car) to reengineered old school racing consoles with immersive 50” flat screens. Here players navigate the course from the vehicles point of view, not only controlling the cars movements, but also the parameters of the resulting sounds they create via a series of unique audio effects mounted onto the dashboard giving each car its own distinct aural flavour. These sounds are emitted from speakers built into the seats causing them to vibrate in correspondence with the movements on screen, producing a personally immersive experience aurally, visually and physically that can only be truly appreciated seated at the controls.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2012 marks the ten year anniversary of this dynamic, experimental, multi-disciplinary arts festival, which identifies the otherwise indescribable connections between contemporary music, art, performance and film. To commemorate this impressive and very special milestone this year, Capsule propose to work with Supersonic alumni and emerging artists to celebrate the achievements of the festival thus far whilst also focusing firmly on the contemporary. Because as well as giving a warm welcome to many influential, era-defining artists over the years, Supersonic always has an uncanny knack for highlighting new acts before everyone else is talking about them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Capsule are totally committed to inviting back festival alumni to perform at Supersonic and are devising unique performances that are far from typical and promise to be absolutely spectacular. One such performance we are proud to present is<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Oxbow Orchestra</b>.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Expect strings, woodwinds, brass, operatic backing vocals and classically contained renderings of the Oxbow song book, featuring Eugene S Robinson and Niko Wenner from Oxbow and an Orchestra who will deliver songs new and old in a format unaccustomed to the blood and sweat of a typical Oxbow outing. The textbook definition - ONCE IN A LIFETIME.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>This ties in very nicely with the first film announcement which will be Oxbow -<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>The Luxury Of Empire</b>, a very intimate portrait of a band at the peak of their artistic maturity, candid interviews and live footage reveals the trials and tribulations of this band, all told in director<span lang="EN-US">Mariexxme's</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>dark compositional style.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">From one large scale event to another (well it is their tenth birthday after all!) Capsule have also invited,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Lash Frenzy</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>who will perform<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span lang="EN-US">‘<i>Vir Heroicus Sublimis’</i></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>as an improvised noise collective, featuring members of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Anaal Nathrackh, Beestung Lips, Benediction, Sally and Einstellung. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span lang="EN-US">As with all things improvised, nothing is certain, all we know for sure is that there’s more than one person involved and less than 1000. If you weren’t able to get in to the Lash Frenzy vs KK Null performance at Supersonic 2010, then make sure you don’t miss out twice! Speaking of collaborations, Capsule have gone and done it again, putting together another distinctive pairing especially for the anniversary festivities which includes the aforementioned<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>KK Null</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and Birmingham's own<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>ORE</b>. </span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>In many ways, KK NULL's collaboration with Lash Frenzy at Supersonic 2010 acted as a proof of concept for the amplified tuba sound of ORE, so it's entirely fitting for Capsule to bring the two entities together this year. Better still, KK NULL and ORE have gelled so well in the early stages of working on this collaboration that they have also decided to release a limited split CD-R single together, which will be available at the festival.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; display: inline ! important; float: none; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">They will be performing a specially-written twenty minute piece together, culminating in a vast cacophony of sound.

<span style="font-size: small;">For the first panel discussion, Capsule have chosen a very interesting topic that is at the heart of their own personal ethos when it comes to festival curation - creating art in challenging times. The discussion is called<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>'You Can Be You</b>' and will feature an array of maverick artists, who, like Capsule/Supersonic Festival, never compromise their integrity and ethos when creating art, or curating an event, or performing. These are;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Penny Rimbaud, Jarboe</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and<b>Eugene Robinson</b>.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Offering an insight into some of the hows and whys of maintaining an independent spirit whilst on the very edge of the avant-garde, the panel will debate such topics as, how is the drive to make art sustained under sometimes-difficult circumstances? and after many years of writing and touring music, will the desire to create ever be satiated? Supersonic Festival,now in its 10<sup>th</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>year, began as a one-day event and has blossomed into an internationally renowned weekend of music, art and much much more. The panellists have hugely influenced the festival producers, as well as many other artists performing at Supersonic. ‘You Can Be You’ will offer a fascinating insight into the drive and motivation behind some of the most prolific experimental artists around.</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"> <span lang="EN-US"> </span>From maverick musicians to maverick film directors, another documentary that will be screened at the festival is '<b>The Bruce Lacey Experience'</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>by<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Jeremy Deller</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Nick Abrahams</b>.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US">For his new documentary the Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller and his sometime accomplice Nick Abrahams turn their attention to fellow film pioneer and iconic performance artist Bruce Lacey. Three years in the making the film examines Lacey’s remarkable legacy as a painter and sculptor (creating extraordinary mechanical devices in the 1960s), an avant-garde filmmaker (alongside Dick Lester and Bob Godfrey) and as an all-round cultural chameleon, working with The Goons, The Beatles and even folk-rock super-group Fairport Convention. An intimate portrait of a self confessed 'silly bugger' and true visionary artist who, at the age of 85, still lives the bohemian dream; creating art and magic in a farmhouse near Norwich.</span></span></div>

Given the success of<b>Imperfect Cinema</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>last year, Capsule have invited the team back to host a free workshop exploring DIY modes of filming and cinema only this time, the footage people gather using Super 8 cameras will be edited and used as visuals for Drunk in Hell's performance. All in all, an exciting opportunity for festival goers to be part of the performance and for them to utilise the unique industrial backdrop in a highly creative way. Imperfect Cinema will also be screening the film<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>'Bullshit Detector'</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>- their film about the Crass compilations, which ties in nicely with Penny Rimbaud's guest appearance. More about that soon!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Finally, further proof that Supersonic Festival wish to unite everyone in their tenth birthday celebrations and to create a fun, memorable<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>event, they have confirmed the presence of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Vinyl Rally</b>, a large-scale installation combining sound art, video art and kinetic sculpture into every kid and kidult’s dream-hybrid; an immersive participatory play-set playing off vinyl fetishism, video arcade mystique and the machismo of motor sports in a video game played within a real world setting! Classic first person video racing is simulated as remote control cars with styli attached, race across a track constructed from a mass of disused vinyl records. Transmitting sound (produced as the styli skim along the vinyl surface) and vision (from wireless spy cameras mounted to the front of each car) to re-engineered old school racing consoles with immersive 50inch flat screens. Here players navigate the course from the vehicles point of view, not only controlling the cars movements, but also the parameters of the resulting sounds they create via a series of unique audio effects mounted onto the dashboard giving each car its own distinct aural flavour. These sounds are emitted from speakers built into the seats causing them to vibrate in correspondence with the movements on screen, producing a personally immersive experience aurally, visually and physically that can only be truly appreciated seated at the controls. I don't know about you but I for one cannot wait to get behind this mean machine!</span></div>

I see no reason why gunpowder, treason should ever be forgot.<br> <br> This November in homage to the legendary plot of 1605 we will be waging war with the leaders of this country and all the apathetic zombies who have allowed them to fuck us into the gutter. We are declaring a state of artistic emergency from within the "music industry" where creativity, relevance and integrity have been replaced by the banal, the pointless and the derivative. We are raising our colours and heading once more into the breach and seeking out those of you who like us can't relate to the man sitting at the head of the nations table making decisions that neither help nor represent us or to the artists who claim to be like us and speak for us. Fuck them. This is our opening salvo, our November Offensive. It is a statement of intent and it is just the beginning.<br> <br> The riots this August proved that if enough people can be mobilised under an ideal then they cannot be stopped. Whether the reasons for the violence and rage felt in our capital and throughout this country were righteous or not is irrelevant, it's the motivational message that matters. It's a message that resonated deep within us and it's the message that has inspired us. We have always striven to be a band that stood for something, to be a band where the word dissonance wasn't just used as a description of our sound, to be a band that were never afraid to say what we really felt and to never compromise or sell out our integrity. Now more than ever we feel capable of living up to what we always hoped we could be. We're tighter, leaner and more focused than we have ever been. We have two new family members who share our anger at the present and our hopefulness and optimism for the future. We are reverting back to the DIY ideals that built this band and are taking control of our own destiny.<br> <br> Just as the plot of 1605 has resonated forever through history so too will this tour resonate forever through our history. It will be remembered as the time we stood up and spoke out against the injustices that we live through in this country every day, against the prejudices of our government and the grinning, flaccid cunt in charge, against the cuts to our public sector which have forced unemployment up to its highest level in 15 years, against the bible bashers and crazed anti-abortionists who want to take away the right of choice from the women of this country, against the openly racist and xenophobic beliefs of organisations like the EDL and the BNP and against the dumbing down and commoditization of art. We have a voice and we intend to use it and we urge you to do the same. Once more into the breach dear friends."

It has been a whirlwind few weeks ever since, having returned to the stage at the annual Turbojugend Fan Club Convention in Hamburg on Friday July 15, after a two year hiatus to the roaring approval of their denim-clad fans. <br> <br> Now, Supersonic have ensnared the almighty Kings Of Deathpunk for a UK exclusive headline performance at the festival. Bringing all the glam, good tunes and great vibes (and hopefully hordes of denim-clad followers) we couldn’t be more excited! <br> <br> The line up includes, Tony Sylvester aka The Duke Of Nothing (Vocals), Happy Tom (Bass), Euroboy (Guitar), Pål Pot Pamparius (Keys/Guitar), Tommy Manboy (Drums/Percussion) and Rune Rebellion (Guitar). Tony Sylvester comments on playing the festival:<br> <br> " I was so chuffed that Lisa and Jenny asked Turbonegro to headline Supersonic and that the first show with the new line up in the UK will be there. Not only are they the best promoters in the UK, but I’ve been lucky enough to have been involved with the festival itself since its second year: announcing bomb threats, swimming in the fountains, playing Northern Soul, arguing on panels, you name it. This will be the first time I’ve actually played there however!"<br> <br> For more information you can visit www.turbonegro.com, or https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Turbonegro/160527554015654 and follow them on twitter @TurbonegroHQ.dieshellsuitdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669127553800934341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494302025711624539.post-46237489054119712942011-08-21T12:12:00.003+01:002011-08-21T12:12:32.390+01:00News - JOHNNY GET THE GUN - NEW SINGLE & TOUR<p><a href='http://www.dieshellsuit.co.uk/news_article.asp?nId=6148'>View The Article</a><p>UNSTOPPABLE BRIT-ROCK UPSTARTS CONTINUE THEIR ASCENT <br> WITH A UK TOUR, NEW SINGLE AND FORTHCOMING DEBUT ALBUM!<br> <br> Fast-rising Essex crew 'Johnny Get The Gun' are undoubtedly on the rise.

This time we continue our quest not only with a selection of rarities, but with several tracks that have never been previously released, by popular demand Volume 2 also comes with greater dub content.<br> <br> Bristol’s top roots exponents Black Roots feature once more, "The Father" is a prime example of their early roots style. Whilst "Pin In The Ocean" shows the later more commercial sound they adopted in collaboration with the Mad Professor, both tracks can also be found on the label’s "Black Roots The Reggae Singles Anthology", a career spanning overview.<br> <br> Bunny Marrett wrote Black Roots’ "Bristol Rock", the opening track on Volume 1 so it’s only appropriate and with great pleasure that we include his sole vinyl outing, the very scarce "Times Are Getting Harder", a great slice of UK roots. When it comes to scarcity there were reputedly just 200 copies pressed of "Robin Hoods Of The Ghetto" by Cool Runnings, we believe it deserves a much wider audience.<br> <br> The Radicals, 3-D Production and Joshua Moses will be familiar to those who have Volume 1 and return with more of the same. The Joshua Moses track is previously unreleased and appears here thanks to the detective work of Mike Darby. Another unreleased track we’ve managed to uncover is Alfred McIntosh’s "Wicked Dub" a 7 minute workout that helps give this release a greater dub flavour.<br> <br> The mid part of the decade is represented by Zapp Stereo’s appropriately titled "Way Out West" and Lord John Hutchinson’s "Little Eyes". Both tracks are previously unreleased. The albums closing track is Dan Ratchett’s "Raggamuffin Girl". Recorded in 1989 it perfectly sums up the way Reggae music started to change direction. Dan was an ever present part of the Bristol scene in the late eighties and nineties and hopefully this will be the first of many tracks we get to license for future releases.<br> <br> Rather than discuss all the tracks in detail we’ve left a few surprises for the listener to discover for themselves, but you can be sure that this release builds on the strengths of Volume 1 and explores the Bristol scene in far more depth. Hopefully it shows how the live, band based scene at the start of the decade evolved to be more solo artist based a few years later. This sowed the seeds for the explosion in studio based production companies that were just around the corner, the two volumes compliment each other perfectly, roll on Volume 3!<br> <br> dieshellsuitdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669127553800934341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494302025711624539.post-73749303714665415702011-07-28T20:17:00.003+01:002011-07-28T20:17:48.923+01:00News - FEUD - BONECRUSHING DEBUT ALBUM & UK TOUR!<p><a href='http://www.dieshellsuit.co.uk/news_article.asp?nId=6145'>View The Article</a><p>’...one of the best unsigned British modern rock bands around...’ - Fireworks Magazine<br> <br> Hailing from the South of England, Feud spit out highly alluring tuneage that meshes the hard-hitting delivery of Nirvana (ala Bleach era) with the song-writing sensibilities of Weezer. Quite rightly, Feud have gained wide recognition for their energetic and noose-tight live performances. The engaging riff monsters are now set to push the envelope further in the shape of their stunning debut album 'Waterdog', out 19th September 2011.<br> <br> The band marks its earliest origins in the country of South Africa, where brothers Greg & Guy Combrinck began work on songs that would eventually make their way across continents to land in the UK and become the framework for Feud. Setting about to put a band together, the Combrinck brothers hunted for members with a kindred passion and intent. After a relentless search, Ian Harper (Guitars/Vocals) and Tom Syrett (Bass) were brought into the fold, and quickly proved their worth, impressing their own footprint into the band's already accomplished sound. <br> <br> During the past four years, Feud have cut their teeth playing a host of shows throughout the UK, sharing stages with everyone from Bad Manners, Cancer Bats, Young Guns, Jettblack and Days In December. Along the way, the band picked up critical praise and rave reviews for their debut release, the four-track EP "Out From The Inside." The record was sculpted at Outhouse Studios (Funeral for a Friend, Enter Shikari) and racked up solid worldwide sales. Praise for the EP release, along with Feud's captivating live performances, earned the band a place on the 2007 Reading Festival bill, as well as an appearance on the BBC Three Channel. <br> <br> Taking their influence from a variety of artists ranging from U2 to Nirvana, but most notably Stone Sour and Foo Fighters, Feud distil and break their music down into something that's both honest and all-encompassing on impact. The dynamic four-piece have now pooled their sound to tape and set loose their greatly anticipated debut full length album 'Waterdog' this September. The record instantly marks its arrival, packing a hefty blow to the senses. Rammed with blistering guitar riffs, crushing rhythms and contagious rock anthems, 'Waterdog' is a truly honest and potent modern rock record. Everything is now in place for the rising riff-slingers to fight for their place as one of the truly exciting bands of 2011! <br> dieshellsuitdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669127553800934341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494302025711624539.post-56573550819309773882011-07-28T20:17:00.001+01:002011-07-28T20:17:35.160+01:00News - EWLB - RISING UK CREW RELEASE EXPLOSIVE DEBUT ALBUM!<p><a href='http://www.dieshellsuit.co.uk/news_article.asp?nId=6146'>View The Article</a><p>EVERYTHING WE LEFT BEHIND<br> <br> â?oWarped Tour disciples have a new name to check for. 3/5â?

Rampant sweat-box touring will also follow suitâ?¦â?¦â?¦<br> <br> You would think that after 6 years of various line-up changes, back-stabbing friends, and copious amounts of money problems, it would be enough for any band to throw in the towel; Everything We Left Behind have done just the opposite. Instead of cracking under the pressure, the industrious quartet have galvanised the gusto to push through, managing to create a brotherhood-like bond within the ranks. Sparking glowing comparisons to Captain Everything and US punk legends NOFX, Everything We Left Behind pack together a crafty tunesmith approach with a sincere and energetic delivery.<br> <br> Since the turn of the year EWLB have been locked in the recording studio hammering down cuts for their debut full length, entitled â?~Our Ears Are Bleedingâ?T. True to punk rock form, the energetic upstarts recorded the album with real sincerity; it is raw, honest, and sculpted with minimal takes. Just as punk should be. The band have emerged with a stunning debut album that is even faster and even more emotive than their highly-acclaimed debut EP â?~Pull Back and Goâ?T, which racked up impressive national press from Kerrang! and Big Cheese through to RockSound and Black Velvet magazine. <br> <br> â?~Our Ears Are Bleedingâ?T kicks off with an explosive opener in the shape of â?oGenericaâ?, which springs wildly from the traps beating anyone in earshot into submission. The cut is a potent slab of captivating high velocity punk rock that suitably kicks off proceedings. Next up is the exhilaratingly pacey â?oGuillotineâ? which barrels over you like a ferocious bullet train, threatening to fly off the tracks. From top to tail, EWLB have nailed down a genuinely breath catching record that is fast and furious and will easily draw fans through its euphorically hypnotic pull.<br> <br> Everything We Left Behind do not create music for their parents or for the radio. They do not churn out money-fueled, over-produced â?obubble-gum rockâ?. They spit out engaging punk-rock that is real and gritty. They may lose the marketing or advertising fight, but they will go down fighting all the wayâ?¦..<br> <br> www.facebook.com/everythingweleftbehind www.youtube.com/ewlbband<br> <br> dieshellsuitdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669127553800934341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494302025711624539.post-10633186652204059822011-06-09T18:50:00.001+01:002011-06-09T18:50:02.513+01:00News - BLACK ROOTS RELEASE ALBUM!!<p><a href='http://www.dieshellsuit.co.uk/news_article.asp?nId=6144'>View The Article</a><p>BLACK ROOTS<br> 'The Reggae Singles Anthology'<br> Released 5th September 2011.<br> <br> Double Vinyl LP - Limited Edition Pressing with <br> Insert plus Deluxe Edition CD/DVD and Download<br> <br> Thirty years after they released their first four track EP Black Roots’ singles output is finally showcased on "Black Roots - The Reggae Singles Anthology". Released on September 5th, by Bristol Archive Records in collaboration with Nubian Records this 16 track album spans the band’s creative peak of the 1980s.<br> <br> Black Roots were Bristol’s leading exponents of reggae, constantly touring throughout the UK and Europe. They also managed to release a steady stream of LPs and singles mostly on their own Nubian label. Now for the first time the majority of those singles are brought together on a single CD and limited double vinyl LP.<br> The music includes all of their key early singles, their first EP in its entirety, the three track follow up, the original single mix of "The Frontline" from the BBC series of the same name and later releases such as their collaborations with the Mad Professor.<br> <br> This release wouldn’t have been possible without the full support of the Band’s own label, Nubian Records, who have allowed us free reign of their archives, the result being a 16 page booklet to accompany the CD that is packed full of previously unpublished photos of the band, the limited double vinyl issue comes with a similarly illustrated LP size insert.<br> <br> As if a 16 track selection of some of the finest UK reggae wasn’t enough the initial run of CDs have an added bonus, the first DVD issue of the impossible to find "Celebration". A great live show from 1986, recorded at the Bristol Studio and previously only available on the original self financed video cassette issue. Taken directly from the video master this performance catches the band in fine form, joined by a horn section that includes the legendary Vin Gordon on Trombone the ten tracks are evenly split between their then pending "All Day All Night" album and their earlier more roots orientated material. Seeing them on stage 25 years ago really brings home how versatile the band were. Fortunately the original line-up of Black Roots reformed last year and with plenty of gigs in the pipeline everyone will be able to experience their live shows again.<br> <br> As is usual Bristol Archive Records have paid meticulous attention to detail and, not only do you get a selection of great music, sleeve notes, a booklet packed with great photos, and a bonus live DVD, but we truly believe the music has never sounded so good on CD.<br> dieshellsuitdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669127553800934341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494302025711624539.post-86338326734429313792011-06-09T18:49:00.003+01:002011-06-09T18:49:54.367+01:00News - THE JUNK - KILLER DEBUT ALBUM AND MORE SHOWS!<p><a href='http://www.dieshellsuit.co.uk/news_article.asp?nId=6143'>View The Article</a><p>Brighton Beach ska-punkers 'the Junk' unleash their hotly anticipated debut full length album "Problem. Reaction. Solution." on 12th September 2011 through 12 Step and available from all digital stores. In support of their upcoming record launch, the energetic posse <br> also undertake further UK and European shows to follow.<br> <br> With a host of influences spanning from 60's soul legend 'Sam Cooke' and 80's pop merchants 'Men at Work', right through to fellow UK ska-nuts 'Capdown', the Junk spew out alluring original ska-core punk fueled with political rage and wit. Boasting skanking guitars and enticing dub bass grooves that cross swords with jack hammer beats and earnest melodies, the band forge a sound that will undeniably bear its mark! <br> <br> Since their inception back in 2008, the Junk have built a sturdy live reputation for their hard working ethos and fantastic live shows, and have played numerous shows throughout mainland Europe and the UK. Along the way, the animated punksters have played shows with the likes of Capdown, Big D and the Kids Table, Catch 22, the Skints, Random Hand, Citizen Fish, and Rentokill. To cap this, the frenetic eight-piece are prepared to announce a full UK and European tour for the summer with their sights on touring Japan and East coast USA at the end of the year.<br> <br> The high-flying skankers have already been widely touted by the national press for their stunning debut EP, 'Novus Ordo Seclorum', which was recorded, mixed and mastered by Dave Chang (CAPDOWN/LIGHTYEAR). The UK mobsters also bagged critical acclaim and coverage from Big Cheese Magazine, Kerrang!, Rocksound, Powerplay and Rhythm through to extensive radio play on Kerrang! Radio and many independent stations. Hot on the heels of their debut EP, the Brighton crew were snapped up by hip Swiss label 'Bad Mood Records' who set about co-releasing the band's debut full length album 'Problem. Reaction. Solution' . Now loaded with a stunning debut album, which packs 14 neatly-woven tracks from the juggernaut rhythms and potent delivery of 'Left for Dead', to the insanely contagious live fave 'Scream Your Dreams', the Junk have crafted a truly delectable beast that is ready and primed for the taking.<br> dieshellsuitdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669127553800934341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494302025711624539.post-9516369462499807452011-06-09T18:49:00.001+01:002011-06-09T18:49:45.815+01:00News - BEYOND DREAMS OF GRANDEUR - DEBUT EP & UK TOUR<p><a href='http://www.dieshellsuit.co.uk/news_article.asp?nId=6142'>View The Article</a><p>New guns 'Beyond Dreams of Grandeur' are primed to make their mark on the UK scene with their captivating blend of melodic hardcore. <br> <br> Neatly bonding infectious melody-drenched choruses with upbeat guitar parts and jack hammer beats, BDoG release their rousing self-titled debut EP on 12th September through all digital stores and line-up UK shows in support.<br> <br> Born in late 2009 from the backstreets of Birmingham, Beyond Dreams of Grandeur were birthed by old school friends Joe Morton (Vocals), Will Sanderson (Guitar/Vocals) and Chris Daccus (Bass), along with brothers Chris Green (Guitar/Vocals) and Jack Green (Drums). Ever since their formation, the post-hardcore quintet have carefully honed their sound, drawing inspiration from a range of sources, from the undeniably sheer song-writing brilliance of 'The Beatles', through to the angular Deathcore armoury of 'The Black Dahlia Murder'. Throughout 2010 the band undertook numerous intense rehearsals and a plethora of fiery live shows, all in anticipation of laying down plans for their debut record.<br> <br> The Midlanders entered the studio at the turn of the year to record tracks for their self-titled debut EP. Now fully armed with a killer record unfolding five ferocious cuts, from the muscular cascades and scatter-gun dynamic riffage of 'Sobriquet', to the stunningly anthemic 'Dust Brings Shells', the fivesome have created an EP that almost effortlessly showcases BDoG's glide and full-hearted intent. The energetic emo-scamps will now raise the bar again as they prepare for a full-blown assault of the UK; look out for extensive tour dates soon to be announced for the remainder of the year! <br> dieshellsuitdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669127553800934341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494302025711624539.post-21316634773197568112011-05-22T11:44:00.001+01:002011-05-22T11:44:02.074+01:00News - Metal Blade bands on tour galore!<p><a href='http://www.dieshellsuit.co.uk/news_article.asp?nId=6141'>View The Article</a><p>ANTERIOR<br> <br> May 2011<br> <br> 9th LONDON - Barfly<br> 10th DERBY - The Old Bell<br> 12th NORWICH - B2<br> 13th CARDIFF - Millennium Music Hall<br> 14th PLYMOUTH - White Rabbit<br> <br> Bring Me The Horizon + Architects + The Devil Wears Prada + WHILE SHE SLEEPS<br> <br> May 2011<br> <br> 4th SHEFFIELD - O2 Academy<br> <br> SOILENT GREEN<br> <br> May 2011<br> <br> 5th LONDON - Underworld<br> 6th MILTON KEYNES - Crauford Arms<br> 7th CARDIFF - Millennium Music Hall<br> 8th DERBY - Old Bell<br> 9th MANCHESTER - Moho Live<br> 10th (IRE) - DUBLIN - Whelans<br> 11th BELFAST - Limelight<br> 12th NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE - Trillians<br> 13th GLASGOW - King Tuts<br> 14th SHEFFIELD - Corporation<br> 15th BIRMINGHAM - Eddies<br> <br> Earthtone9 + THE OCEAN + Maybeshewill + Humanfly<br> <br> May 2011<br> <br> 17th BIRMINGHAM - Academy 2<br> 18th DURHAM - Live Lounge<br> 19th GLASGOW - Stereo<br> 20th MANCHESTER - Club Academy<br> 21st BRISTOL - Thekla<br> 22nd LONDON - Relentless Garage<br> <br> THE OCEAN<br> <br> May 2011<br> <br> 24th EDINBURGH - The Banshee Labyrinth<br> 25th ABERDEEN - Tunnels<br> 27th HULL - The Lamp<br> <br> SHAI HULUD + Last Witness<br> <br> June 2011<br> <br> 20th SOUTHAMPTON - Joiners<br> 21st EXETER - Cavern<br> 22nd LONDON - Purple Turtle<br> 23rd MANCHESTER - Star And Garter<br> 24th PETERBOROUGH - Club Revolution<br> <br> THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER<br> <br> July 2011<br> <br> 8th SONISPHERE @ Knebworth<br> <br> ANTERIOR<br> <br> July 2011<br> <br> 8th - 10th SONISPHERE @ Knebworth<br> <br> BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME + Animals As Leaders<br> <br> September 2011<br> <br> 20th LONDON - Underworld<br> 21st LONDON - Underworld<br> 22nd MANCHESTER - Moho Live<br> 23rd GLASGOW - King Tuts<br> 24th LEEDS - Cockpit<br> 25th BIRMINGHAM - Academy 3<br> 26th BRISTOL - Academy 2<br> 27th CARDIFF - Clwb Ifor Bach<br> <br> PRIMORDIAL<br> <br> September 2011<br> <br> 24th (IRE) DUBLIN - Academydieshellsuitdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669127553800934341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494302025711624539.post-17710844974320770812011-05-22T11:41:00.001+01:002011-05-22T11:41:36.888+01:00News - RUINS OF EARTH - EXPLOSIVE SOPHOMORE EP<p><a href='http://www.dieshellsuit.co.uk/news_article.asp?nId=6140'>View The Article</a><p>RUINS OF EARTH<br> "This Hampshire quintet show incredible maturity for such a young band. Every song on this five-track EP <br> is a beastly mix of technicality & groove" Metal Hammer 8/10<br> <br> <br> HIGH FLYING HAMPSHIRE THRASH CREW GIVE AWAY <br> THEIR STUNNING EP, ’MISGUIDED LIFEFORMS’ FOR <br> A LIMITED TIME FROM 8th AUGUST 2011.<br> <br> Southern metallers ’Ruins Of Earth’ are quickly carving a prominent name for themselves within the UK metal scene. By delivering shattering live shows that illustrate boundless energy and earnest passion, the driven quintet are intent on pushing themselves into the national arena and are all set to destroy every flea-pit along the way. <br> <br> Ruins Of Earth have already extensively toured throughout the UK, impressively notching up over 150 shows in a little over a year, and in the process, bagging tour slots with the likes of Viatrophy, Shadow Law, Osmium and Plague of Ashitaka. ROE's shows are sweat-drenched affairs that are both full-blooded and full-hearted. The Thrashcore crew will hit the road yet again this Summer in support of their bone-crushing ’Misguided Lifeforms’ EP.<br> <br> Ruins Of Earth's debut offering 'Ashes of the Ocean' racked up national critical acclaim in Metal Hammer, Powerplay, Rocksound and Zero Tolerance, and tracks from the record also picked up heavy radio rotation with XFM Rock Show and Total Rock Radio. Now fully equipped with an explosive follow-up in the shape of ’Misguided Lifeforms’, the young guns are set to raise the bar once again. ’Misguided Lifeforms’ is loaded with soaring melodic passages and brutal breakdowns, weaving technically tinged thrash metal with gritty deathcore. Ruins of Earth make their way from melody to brutality with practiced ease, orchestrated and solidified through alluring lyrical content. The five-piece display their ability to fuse and meld genres, delivering memorable and intelligent songs distilled from a range of influences stemming from The Black Dahlia Murder and Cult of Luna to the likes of Sylosis. <br> <br> Balancing passion with aggression, whilst maintaining their renowned high level of musicianship, Ruins of Earth bring fire and spirit to the stage in support of their aggressive music, a nostalgic feat all too missed in today’s metal bands who seem to lack the same passion and energy. Through their live shows, ROE display their ability to draw from a vast array of styles, setting themselves apart from other bands restricted to a recycled musical vocabulary. Establishing themselves as a band "not to be missed live," Ruins of Earth are destined for great things in 2011.<br> dieshellsuitdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669127553800934341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494302025711624539.post-44167730145482105912011-04-28T11:44:00.005+01:002011-04-28T11:44:36.363+01:00News - GOODBYE JERSEY - UK DEBUT ALBUM FROM HIGHLY PROMISING SKATE PUNKERS!<p><a href='http://www.dieshellsuit.co.uk/news_article.asp?nId=6137'>View The Article</a><p>Goodbye Jersey<br> <br> UK DEBUT ALBUM FROM HIGHLY PROMISING POLITICAL SKATE PUNKERS!<br> <br> German Skate-Punk crew ’Goodbye Jersey’ set free their debut long play ’Entertain Me!’ on 20th June 2011 through Long Beach Records Europe (home to Templeton Pek) / Plastic Head Code 7. <br> <br> Labelling themselves as ’melodic bugle-punk’ ["mellodick bjugel pank"] - in short, a heady mix of pacey melodic skate punk and offbeat structures laced with hardcore tunes, the band’s sound fuses crusty guitars, hard hitting drums, and contagious sing-a-long anthems all mixed with real grit and delivered by a vocalist who has already been compared to a cross between Tom Delonge & Fat Mike - this is Goodbye Jersey.<br> <br> Hailing from Hamburg, Germany and formed in January 2009, five young scamps sporting a healthy obsession for a number of Fat Wreck bands decided to lock themselves up in a fifteen-square-metre windowless basement to celebrate punk rock the way it should be: fast, angry, dirty and sweaty.

Without any time to waste, the driven unit pulled together their first record ’Marathon’ in 2006. Their second release ’This Is The Sinking’ soon followed, and the band began to pick up prominent attention with their track ’The Hotel Room’, which managed to top the national charts. Continuing to spread their wings, the lively foursome undertook a mammoth tour in support of ’This Is The Sinking’ which hit up Germany, Belgium, Holland and Italy. Along the way, Versus You also impressively bagged shows with Queens of the Stone Age and The Killers. As the band’s sound evolved they drafted in Jimmy Leen to contribute with songwriting, vocal and guitar duties. Opening for the likes of ’No Use For A Name’ and soon to be friends ’the Flatliners’, they then toured through Eastern Europe and Russia playing shows with NOFX, Propagandhi, White Flag and Bayside. At this time, Versus You went into the studio again to produce their third album which was recorded live on the back of the tour. Inspired by the scribblings of Jack Kerouac and suitably titled ’The Mad Ones’, the record further cemented the band’s development and increase in popularity.<br> <br> Throughout 2010, the irrepressible quartet played a handful of shows with numerous fraternal spirits from ’Alkaline Trio’, ’Strike Anywhere’, ’Dead To Me’, and ’Rise Against’ to the likes of ’Star Fucking Hipsters’. Now in 2011, Versus You team up with US punksters ’White Flag’ and present seven of their own edgy and formidable punk rock cuts led by the distinctly raspy voice of Eric Rosenfeld. The songwriting is melodically direct and catchy, yet intense enough to burrow deep paths into the cranium. From the dynamic guile of "This War Is Like A Drug To You" to the energetic "Spread The Epidemic", Versus You have drawn together an impressive collection of tracks to kick off a stunning collaboration.<br> <br> The second part of this split release highlights the talents of Californian Punk-Rock vets White Flag. Impressively, the long standing punk rockers have released 23 records within 28 years and have racked up shows from all reaches of the globe, from Greenland to Faror, and everywhere in between. White Flag are and have fully embraced the punk rock lifestyle ever since they formed back in 1982, opening for the legendary Black Flag.<br> <br> Not only do the the US punks have a rich and lengthy history, but their notable list of rotating band members is also a unique feature. Since their formation, more than 20 musicians have contributed to White Flag, including members from Bad Religion, Circle Jerks (Greg Hetson), The Muffs (Ronnie Barnett), Lagwagon (Ken Stringfellow) and Hole (Eric Eraldson). Rightly so, White Flag are firmly stapled into the heart of American rock and Punk Rock history.<br> <br> The L.A. Punk Rock roots of White Flag are instinctively recognisable right from the first chord and this split release ideally showcases eight charismatic old school-styled punk tunes that, reminiscent of true rebellion, serve as a timely marker that substance is paramount and fashion is redundant. Old School is back with a vengeance! <br> dieshellsuitdiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669127553800934341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494302025711624539.post-6016750141089148332011-04-20T22:32:00.001+01:002011-04-20T22:32:08.594+01:00News - PROMETHEE - SWISS SLAYERS PRIME DEBUT UK RELEASE!<p><a href='http://www.dieshellsuit.co.uk/news_article.asp?nId=6132'>View The Article</a><p>PROMETHEE<br> <br> Enterprising metal quintet ’Promethee’ emerge and release their self-titled debut EP, through Bad Mood Records and all major digital outlets from 4th July 2011.<br> <br> Promethee pull from an array of influences that stem from noise-king contemporaries such as ’The Black Dahlia Murder’ and ’Job For A <br> Cowboy’, through to the likes of US melodic death metal combo ’Darkest Hour’. Inspired by their predecessors, Promethee have cultivated their own highly addictive sound that is venomous, heavy, downright aggressive and ultimately engaging.<br> <br> Originally founded in Geneva, Switzerland back in 2006 by three lifelong friends, Ludo, Nils and Elri, the youthful trio began to form foundations and recruited Josh and Mathieu in 2008 to suitably complete the line-up. The fiery five-some then started to cut their teeth for the next two years through delivering a highly impressive, not to mention sweat-drenched, cluster of shows in just about every fleapit in Switzerland. During 2010 the band continuously toured throughout France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Hungary, including a prestigious appearance at the Greenfield Festival playing alongside Rammstein, The Prodigy, HIM, and The Dillinger Escape Plan among others. Never ones to rest on their laurels, the Swiss metallers continued their rise by securing a mini-tour in Canada before heading into the studio to lay down tracks for their début EP.<br> <br> Promethee are now loaded with their self-titled debut EP which features five full-blooded cuts. The record is ram packed with steamroller riffs, deeply-growled vocals and blast-beat rhythms that will pummel the listener into submission from the get-go.
