...ten/pence/short
Marcus, Paul, NolskÚ and Spence first crashed onto the scene nine years ago forming the hard rock outfit “JUMP THE GUN”. The band split in 1997 with all members joining other projects, but reformed last year to become …ten/pence/short.
A change in musical style and a more mature attitude have made a big difference to the look and the sound of the band.
Influences within the band are taken from a wide spectrum, with groups such as Metallica and Nickelback joining the echoes of groups like Creed and even Starsailor.
Long term aims for the band involve much more live work, as well as writing and recording as much as possible. The group have all agreed that fame would be fantastic but it’s the chance to play live music they want the most, and play it they will....

[Go-X]
GO - X] formed 4 years ago under the name 'Elixir' with a different drummer, between 2001 - xmas of 2004 elixir established themselves as a great local band and enjoyed some mild succsess from their first demo - "Demo..1" HOWEVER all that is trivial compared to the future plans for [GO - X] (name had to be changed for legal reasons ... bastards). With new drummer Boo Disson (ex-Odyssey) the band are writing better music than ever before and are spending the month of June in seclusion finishing off mind-blowing material. Expect thousands, nay TENS OF THOUSANDS, of shows in July and early August, and a realease by the end of said month. Exciting times for [GO - X] are on their way so be sure to be at Eddies on June 30th when it all kicks off. (big time)

4ft Pimp are the band that every girl wants to be and every boy wants to be with. This is not the fantasy they set out to make real, however, as failed ice-cream man-turned-musician Greg will tell you. "We just started the band for financial reasons. After Andrew's Cobbling business fell through and my dreams were shattered, we needed to make some cash". And that they did. The Band were saved by Rock n roll and have never looked back.

An Early Sunset
Currently recording at our basic home studio, An early sunset consisting of Tim Brayshaw (Guitar and vocals), Anthony Smith (Bass and vocals)and now Dominic Rudd (Drums). We've been writing music for 2 years or so, and now feel that what we are writing is much more worthy of public release and would love to get it out there. All living in Sheffield, it makes it relatively for us to get together and jam, but when this is not possible we write music whenever we can and join all our ideas together when we are in each others company. But what is best is when we sit there with a clean sheet, clean mind and build a song from the foundations together.

Beat Takeshi
- Mixing Zen like tranquillity with skull shattering violence -
When we saw that written on a video box it seemed to summarise the kind of music we were writing. The director of the film was ' Beat ' Takeshi Kitano. As we began crafting our music, pulling in influences from smashing pumpkins, The Doors, Fugazi and Queen Adreena one thing remained clear - diversity in sounds. We are new, we are different, we are Beat Takeshi.

CARMEN PIMPS
What do we sound like? You ask “Like Led Zeppelin playing the Stone Temple Pilots house warming party whilst Janes Addiction regales in tales of Guns n Roses exuberant and indulgent past”.
I am proud to introduce to you an explosive U.K band that is finally prepared to pull “Mule Britannia” kicking and screaming in to the 21st century. . .
The ‘Pimps’ are a 4 piece rock band who have exploded on the rock scene with powerful vocals and guitar licks, percussions and bass that pull you right into their music and beyond. You will be transformed and give testament that, not only does this band rock, but “They’re Here!”
With gigs at The Metro and all round the London circuit and UK, the train has well and truly left the station. Punch your ticket now and take the ride of a lifetime. You’ll be glad you did.
Influences from the bands stated above have been absorbed whilst trying to sculpt and create something a little more vital, more powerful and refreshing to the current crop of “Blands” they see saturating the current rock scene, and there is nothing bland or blasé about the Carmen Pimps.
Already creating quite a stir in the London music scene, they are one of the very few British bands that have been taken to heart by the American public. Legendary Rock photographer Chad Lee has called them “The best pieces of Led Zeppelin and Guns N Roses.”
The Carmen Pimps consists of
Lee Brown -Bass
Dean Hilborne - Drums
Steve Pipe - Vocals
Eddie Ring - Guitars.
So kick back, and get ready

Demode
Demode formed November 2004 due to Lewis and Sam wanting to find another guitarist and a bassist to fullfil their musical aspirations. Jack immediately jumped at the opportunity to play with two of his best friends and shortly after Chris then joined making the band complete. Demode's sound could be classed as Emo/Pop punk but with all members taste in music varying from blues to screamo their sound is always going to be set apart from the stereotypical genres. Demode are a unique sound made by blending many different genres and ideas then coming up with a load of their own. Melodic vocals, intricate use of two vocalists and catchy riffs is just a few aspects of demode that give them their "big" sound and definately makes them a band to see.

ELEVEN
Hailing from picturesque North-Devon town of Barnstaple, ELEVEN grew from the jamming of brothers Steve and Chris Tanton (Drums and Guitar respectively).
When Steve left for College in London, the end of the band looked nigh. But he returned with a burning desire to complete the band that the brothers had started. After some initial line-up changes, ELEVEN started 2006 as they mean to go on with the charismatic Ryan Butler (Lead Vocals and Guitar) fronting the band and the multitalented Tom Kyle on Bass.
All aged between 18 and 20, ELEVEN have already got an enormous following in the West country following some packed out gigs and the support of local Radio. In 2005 they played the Gold Coast Oceanfest in front of a crowd of 3,000 and went on to win the Big Night Out competition. The band have gone on to play storming gigs in London at the Metro, Garage, Telegraph and Half Moon. There has been massive airplay from Pulse Rated FM and glowing reviews from around the country.
So far ELEVEN have been likened to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Puddle Of Mudd, The Police, Maroon 5, Incubus, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Beach Boys and Sublime. The three part harmonies and excellent musicianship give them an unmistakable sound and the riffs will stick in your head like songs you’ve always known.
2006 holds the prospect of ELEVEN’s first UK tour, national radio airplay and some great after show parties!
If you like the sound of ELEVEN and would like to know more please contact me at Ravenous Promotions.

Gauge
A Brief History of Gauge
“This four piece have only been playing together as the current line up for a few months and are already well on their way to great things”. Surge Music. 2005.
Made up of Ant on vocals, Stu on guitar, Mark on Bass and Chris on drums, the band initially got together purely for the love of writing and playing music after previously all being in other bands. Through these four members, a variety of influences have been bought to the table encapsulating many aspects of alternative and rock. The band soon realised that they had stumbled upon something special. Not trying to imitate or play a particular genre, the band just play whatever feels right at the time. This gives the band a unique and diverse sound that is reminiscent of the ‘Seattle’ grunge of the early nineties but in no way derivative.
“And, for a band that’s ‘just going with the flow’, the flow seems to going in the right direction”. The Mercury 2005
Studio time was booked almost immediately with the first two track CD being recorded in April 2005, a little over a month following the birth of Gauge. Prolific in their song writing yet with each track possessing its own uniqueness and strength, Gauge soon had a set long enough and strong enough that the
band were itching to play to an audience.
Gauge have since been busy gigging in and around the Midlands with an ever enthusiastic following. The second two songs were recorded during July 2005 and put with the previous two songs to form the ‘All Lies’ EP. The creation of this EP is a landmark moment for the band and has led to a belief that Gauge are ready to take things to the next level with both its music and aspirations.
The future of Gauge remains to be written, but with an awe inspiring yet unbelievably catchy set of songs, Gauge are already making waves. This is a band that must be heard and definitely won’t disappoint.

lobelia blue
We are Lobelia Blue, an ambitious, dedicated four-piece band from Bolton. The band consists of Rik Hughes (lead vocals, guitar), Andy Sheridan (lead guitar, backing vocals), Martin Holsted (drums) and Ste Nightingale (bass, backing vocals). We have been playing music and writing songs for the last two years and play regular gigs around the Northwest including The Roadhouse, The Dry Bar, The Witchwood and Bolton University. Included in these gigs was a support slot for touring Aussie Band Rocket Science at The Roadhouse. We have had good feedback from all of these gigs both from the fans and the local press:-
“Headline act Lobelia Blue are a group of local musicians who definitely know how to play together. From the outset it was obvious these guys know each other very well and have been together for some time….” Student Direct Bolton.
As well as the above gigs we also stage our own events in Bolton, which involves finding support, providing and operating the PA equipment and promoting the gig. These events are always lively and well attended.
We all play a part in creating our songs but it is Rik and Andy who have taken the main role in song writing, and we now have over thirty completed songs, 15 of which recorded and available for demo.
In the past our music has been categorised as Rock, Grunge, Punk, and on some occasions Blues. The diversity in our style is understandable considering the many influences of music and culture we have experienced. From the Rolling Stones to the Delgados, from The Red Hot Chili Peppers to The Libertines, we all have respect and admiration for our own and each others tastes, but never let that dominate Lobelia Blue’s own individual sound.
We are now looking to take our music to the next level by playing to larger audiences and working hard to create a credible debut album.

My Friend Juliet
The band formed in Summer 2003. Finding the band members was simple, Rich and Mike are brothers and Sam their cousin. The search for a forth member did not take long, as Zeb and Sam were old school friends.
By the end of 2003, the band had played several local gigs and began to form a loyal fan base. In early 2004, My Friend Juliet were invited to play at a local festival called “Spinkfest” at the Scarborough Kazbah. Not only did the band get the best crowd of the day, they caught the eye of No Code Music, the venues promoters. No Code were eager to get the band back, and so My Friend Juliet were confirmed as support for Easyworld, who were touring to promote their new album “kill the last romantic” and top 40 single in February.
Again, My Friend Juliet impressed, and were asked back to support the Futureheads in March. By this point, My Friend Juliet had established themselves as a serious up-and-coming band. Throughout 2004, My Friend Juliet gigged in Leeds, York, Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Manchester and many local towns, building on their ever-growing local and national fan base. By the end of the year, the band had won a local battle of the bands and had been filmed by the BBC recording their forthcoming EP.
Each member of the band has slightly different musical tastes, however, within the band there is a mutual love of bands such as Biffy Clyro, Hell is for Heroes, My Vitriol, Rival Schools etc.
My Friend Juliet have just released their debut EP which has already received fantastic feedback. The band are determined to be playing gigs and spreading their music on a national scale by the end of 2005.
“My Friend Juilet are without doubt the most accomplished band in the area. Amazing - 90%” The Vibe on the EP.
“Not a band to turn your nose up to!” Daveit Ferris - The Mascara Story
The whole thing is well worked, cleverly structured and very professionally handled. It's on repeat play as I write 'cause it's that moreish." Toxicpete.co.uk on the EP.

My Girl Sleeps
Since getting together in the summer of 2002, My Girl Sleeps (MGS) have been busy learning their craft and building a loyal fan base through extensive live performances all over the UK.
Along the way they have picked up many accolades including winning ITV 1’s ‘Music Uncovered’ and the National Battle of the Bands title. Now they are ready to try and fulfil their ambition of becoming one of the UK’s leading rock bands.
The first couple of years saw MGS follow the well-trodden path of local and national gigging, self financed EP’s and lots of new material being developed to create a sound that was unmistakably MGS.Early in 2004 the band signed a one album deal with Liverpool label Chromium Records. The album, titled ‘A Short Distance to Nowhere’, received some rave reviews and became very popular throughout the internet independent rock sites. Unfortunately a lack of funding did not allow a full release but that did not stop good levels of sales to fans in both the UK and US.2004 was turning into a good year for MGS and the band were really pleased with three live television appearances on ITV show ‘Music Uncovered’ which they ended up winning with 56% of the live finals public vote. This led to headline gigs at well-known venues like Camden Barfly and Northampton Roadmender, as well as their first big festival appearance at Guilfest, which really started to widen the band’s fan base.
2005 also started well when MGS won the National BOTB final at the Wolverhampton Civic hall in front of 1500 music fans. The competition, which ran for a year and included over 400 of the UK’s best up and coming bands, gave them a growing confidence that they were progressing in the right direction as the panel of industry expert judges made them comfortable winners. Industry recognition has continued to increase with labels in the UK and the US showing keen interest in the band’s progress. With several festival appearances lined up for the summer alongside some of rock’s legends and their first headline at the B91 festival, MGS are looking forward to further progress through 2005.
While a record deal remains on their agenda the band is in no rush to put pen to paper. They all agree that the live scene is where they really want to excel and it’s performing live for the fans, which will always be their top priority.

Paul: Bass

Neverfall are a modern, 5 piece rock band. Formed in the spring of 2003, the line up was finalised when Mike joined up to create a truly unique act.
When the band first got together, we decided straight away that we didn’t want to be another typical screaming metal act that has become so common and out dated. We wanted to create up beat, rock music with a heavy edge to it. The bands influences are pretty diverse, ranging from Audioslave, RHCP to RATM & Incubus.
Each member of Neverfall has a wealth of experience, playing in different bands around the country. We all have our own influences and strengths that we bring to our music.

Nothing
...superb rock beasts NOTHING's sound is akin to a distortion heavy Bitches Brew cut through with Iron Maiden riffs and Mars Volta madness all hammered into one awesome shape and played with amps up on eleven. - Live review, White Hart, Brentwood, Essex, March 2004
Two brilliant guitarists, a fantastic front-man and a lot of good tunes. Singer Steve is an entire show by himself, strangling the noise out of his guitar and screaming his lungs out, shaking like a man caught in a bear trap, while axe-man Colin is the sober ying to his raging yang, strumming quietly along beside him.
There is a fantastic depth to their material. The songs range from all-out power to blissful, chilled out jams, which separate the set nicely.
- Thurrock Gazzette Live Review
The title track is what we've come to recognise as 'classic' NOTHING - rambling vocals and intense guitar work creating a unique and rather surreal soundscape.

Ostracoda
OSTRACODA are a hard rock band from Norwich, Norfolk, UK - an original group playing melodic, hook-laden songs with rock, metal and punk influences. We are a five-piece and the members vary in age from 24 - 32 comprising of: Dan Kelby on vocals, Adam Syson on guitar, David Donley on drums and percussion, Justin Brand on second guitar and Byron McGill on bass. We play original, powerful, melodic hard rock influenced by the great guitar bands of the 80’s and 90’s and are fuelled by passion, drive and a desire to inject something fresh into the current music scene.
We formed in summer 2003 and are regulars on the Norwich live circuit, which has enabled us to play every local venue in the city from the Ferryboat Inn to the Waterfront, Arts Centre and UEA LCR. We have also entertained many venues across the country and have just made our debut on the London circuit at Soho’s Arts Theatre Bar where we drew a large Sunday crowd enabling us to return to the capital in December. Regular early rehearsals yielded an explosion of songs culminating in our first two EPs: 2003’s ‘Routine of the In-between’, 2004’s ‘Thief of Today’ and recently our newest release; 2005’s ‘A Tag/A Brand/A Label’. All of our music has been very well received and, due to the powerful and confrontational nature of our live shows, our CDs have sold out consistently at these events. The quality and ‘hookiness’of Ostracoda’s songs has also given us some great radio airplay: both close to home in Derbyshire and London and as far afield as Washington DC, (on DC-101) and Chicago, IL (Hostage Radio).
2004 also saw us film, edit and author our very first independent DVD which comprises of live footage, biography, a photo gallery, poster gallery and more. I produce all of the band’s artwork myself in-house for our releases, website and merchandise which as you can imagine is very cost-effective and enables us to keep close tabs on our image. Our website is located at www.ostracoda.com and has proven extremely popular as much for its striking visuals as for its content, which features up-to-date gig listings, a full biography and gigography, photo galleries, artwork galleries, MP3 downloads, a message board where fans can talk and interract with the band and the chance to sign up for the band’s mailing list.
As a band, we feel the music scene in the UK, particularly in the rock and mainstream arenas, has become tired and stale through cynical, cash-hungry repackaging of long gone genres and championing of so-called ‘fashion-core’ bands, to whom music plays a secondary part to image, indulgence and clichéd celebrity antics. Collectively we believe in many things: perhaps the strongest bond between the members being our love and appreciation for music that is made with passion, honesty, power and truth.

SPECIAL MOVE
UKHC veterans Special Move formed from the ashes of Up Against It, who along with bands such as Public Disturbance, Knuckledust and Stampin Ground formed part of the 95-96 wave of UKHC. From the same Essex scene that has spawned Unite and Raiden, Special Move are the only EBD still going strong in 2003, and are on the brink of releasing their second CD.
Think fast, straight ahead hardcore with a new school edge that diversifies but never dominates their sound. Then go see them live and be cracked up by their between song antics, these boys are truly jokers in an age when hardcore takes itself way too seriously. They don’t fuck around when it comes to their music though…

Terminally Bewildered
The band's initial roots stem from 2003, whilst both Andy Hart & Andy Bull were at the same college. Andy Hart had already been playing the guitar for a few years, and although Andy Bull couldn't play any instrument at the time, they both had a passion for the same style of music.
Throughout the college years a number of bands cropped up within their circle of friends, although the main inspiration to start a band of their own was from Green Day. Both enjoyed the power, meaning and general fun their songs provided, and as a result Andy Bull bought his first bass guitar and started teaching himself how to play.
Throughout 2004, after-college practises became a regular tradition. Andy Bull's house was the venue, where performances of Green Day covers would take place. Realising they both worked well together musically, they decided to take things further, writing simple 3-chord riffs of their own.
As the months progressed, the level of enthusiasm for music grew and grew. Practises had now moved to Andy Hart's garage, where more space and better equipment meant further dedication to songwriting. Sure enough, this paid off, and the band's first song "Spastic" came to light.
The duo have been writing a mass of material since early 2005. Now actively looking for a drummer to complete the line-up, Terminally Bewildered hope to start gigging in the new year of 2006.

The Morenas
The Morenas Biography
Formed out of a mutual passion for music, vocalist/guitarist Paolo Morena, Drummer Steve Wilson and Bassist Tim Jackson are the Morenas; a fresh, groove-orientated powerhouse encapsulating Paolo’s raw and eclectic vocal style, inspired in part by his travels through Europe and beyond.
Their first meeting came from Paolo’s search to find like minded musicians to complete his dream of a band intent on pushing musical boundaries, first with Steve at a Francis Dunnery concert and then Tim at a local studio where the three of them rehearsed unaware of the imminent connection.
After a year of dedicated rehearsals and unrelenting touring the band, together with a group of local entrepreneurs created the label Bleach Records as a vehicle to aid the Morenas in their journey towards success. Never a band intent on standing still, they write music that makes you get up move. Not just because of the rhythm filled grooves or the addictively outrageous bass lines. Not even for the stage presence of front man Paolo Morena. Merely, the Morenas are a great British rock band producing music that they; like many others, want to hear.
Music like this shapes generations

Having gone by several previous names, Tytania have now started to make their mark on the Leeds music scene with their unique rock-punkish sound, something which is quickly drawing interest from all sides.
Originally formed in 2003, band practice instantly became a hobby. Before long Tytania were performing covers of songs past and present before crowds in nearby clubs and bars. Their dedication was evident when the band began writing their own songs. "War Games" and "Awaken" are two numbers Tytania has every right to boast about.
The band are fast on their way to more studio recording sessions and live performances. With two self-produced CDs already at the production stage, small time or big time, Tytania are a band who are here to stay.
The band itself consists of five musicians, each specialised in their own position. The singer of Tytania is Richard Brown. Richard performs vocals on all of the band's songs. With his adaptable voice and unique dress code, he is undoubtadly the face of Tytania.
The band features two talented guitarists and one bass guitarist. Luke Goodwin, Adam Winnard and Tom Ingham make up the strings section of Tytania. Instrumentals and interludes from the trio are worth paying attention to and give Tytania's music an exceptional signature.
The drums & percussion seat is taken up by Joe Earnshaw. Innovative and educated would be words best suited to Joe. Having being the drummer of the band since the get-go, he's the artist always ready to go off at a tangent and make any concept into a musical reality.
Tytania is a group with a noteworthy sound. If you jump on any band-wagon this year, be sure to make it Tytania.

ZEANO
‘….captivate the ear, twist the brain and rock the gut….’ Musician magazine
‘…explosive live sound…’Essex Chronicle
The key to any successful band is great songs combined with a live show to “wow”. Zeano have this. Their ability to send any audience away filled with an enormous sense of joy, that they have just seen a truly great band, is few and far between these days.
The energy and enjoyment the band themselves receive from performing their songs is clearly evident watching them and the passion can also be heard through the recordings.
It’s pure rock! No synthesised, nu-metal pop/rock electronically produced and refined like a scientific product. No depressing acoustic indie. No sloppy, roughly recorded neo-punk trash. It’s about feeling and real music. Old school!
The band members, ranging from 19-26 all live around the Essex/East London area. Dale (Vocals), Tim (Guitar), Craig (Drums) and Joe (Bass) take their influences from far and wide to combine into the ultimate sound. The guys love what they do and will stop at nothing to achieve their dream…..being up there, and remembered.....as one of the greatest rock bands ever!
Zeano have gigged throughout the UK, received radio play on numerous radio stations (tracks and interviews), been approached by record companies, managers, producers and publishing companies and appeared in newspapers and magazines including Musician and NME.
Zeano’s single ‘You could be Perfect has been released through the Fastrax system to every independent radio station in the UK. The downloads from DJ’s increase noticeably every month
The fan base and industry interest increases daily and the time is coming where everyone will have heard of Zeano.
Waiting for the right deal, Zeano are poised for success on a massive scale!

There are not many bands around that write with aggression and keep harmonic melodies intact.
Zombie 6ixty-5ive! have arrived. For something very different and refreshingly pure, look no further. It's coming your way, very soon.
