Hellbound formed in 2005 and are made up of Dave Pollock taking Guitar/Vocal duties, Ben Lee on Rhythm Guitar, Jon Penn on Bass and Dan Ellis on Drums. The band since decided to go all out on a path of destruction and mindfucking metal, consuming every alcoholic beverage within a 3 mile radius! Getting fed up and just sick of crappy bands around, particularly in their native Gloucester, they took their alcohol fueled passion for music, their unwillingness to tow the corporate line and bow down to commercial acceptance, their no frills punk attitude intertwined with heavy, aggressive riffs and drum beats and set about contributing to keeping music real! Quickly establishing themselves as one of Gloucester's top metal acts. Hellbound recorded their Debut 5 Track EP, Destruction Inc in April 06' and since then has played alongside many big names such as Motorhead, Saxon, UFO, Wrathchild, The Wildhearts, Rattlesnake Remody, Orange Goblin, Neville Staple, Fun Lovin' Criminals and InMe to name but a few and continue to gain a larger fan base everyday.
Together for just four years, and having already worked with producer Gavin Monaghan (Kings of Leon, Editors, Ryan Adams) on previous projects, Voodoo Johnson are now putting the final touches on their brand new album 10,000 Horses with producer Romesh Dodangoda (Bullet For My Valentine, Kids In Glass Houses, Funeral For A Friend) for release later this year.
The group have received continued support from the likes of Bruce Dickinson (BBC Radio 6 Rock Show) on national radio as well as Myspace’s Alex Zane (Mars Planets Radio). With a number of national club tours under their belts, as well as successful international festival dates to their name, Voodoo Johnson look set for a big year in 2010.
“If the idea of Queens Of The Stone Age nesting with Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith appeals, then meet Voodoo Johnson, a young Birmingham band who’ve the potential to be global gods.” "

2007 saw the formation of the massively talented rock band, The Ram Raid. Since then they have gone from strength to strength winning two Battle of the Bands and one East Midlands Best Band Award. Innovative writing, exceptional musical skills combined with their vibrant stage presence won them these coveted competitions. This success was swiftly followed by their first recording session at the famous Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire where many top bands record. The first pressing of their "Nothing" EP sold out immediately and they are now working on their first album.
Writing when the band won Parkway Cinema's inaugural competition, local music scene guru Steve Jackson said: "The Ram Raid made it easy for the judges. They were clear winners with a powerhouse rock sound that just didn't look achievable for a trio. They had all bases covered, a terrific drummer with the spirit of Keith Moon and a distinctive over the shoulder cymbal crash, the singing lead guitarist deftly switching from overdrive to subtlety and a throbbing bass guitarist with the musical equivalent of hitting a punch-bag".
This band is a phenomenon waiting to happen…and it's starting NOW!
Attika 7: The unique Los Angeles based rock band can be described as extreme rock/metal.

Attika speaks to the kids of the world as well as the wild and young at heart. Attika's honest blend of original rock/metal is a breath of fresh air in the stagnant world of music today.
We ( As Thick As Thieves ) are an “Alternative Rock “ trio based in North London. We originally formed in December 2006 and made our live debut in June 2007. We play music the way we like to listen to it, loud and raw and with all the passion and soul we three can muster from the pit of our collective gut. Our songs are about Love, Hate, Anger, Revenge, Life, Death, Glory, Despair, Desire, Heaven and Hell and the space in between places...It's all about blood and guts and the fine line we all tread between wrong and right, black and white, God and the Devil...Does she love you? Do you even care? Let's just keep on going until the well runs dry. That's a little bit of what we're about... the rest is in the music.

And on the seventh day God holed up in Bristol and created this lot. Crafting a live tight party funk sound. The band are a legend on the circuit and have a enviable reputation as guaranteed crowd pleasers. Working round a call and return style of song writing. The sound is rocky edgy funk with strong dance elements, its definitely not sit on your arse music. Superb vocals and sound musicianship.
The Council are a Cream-meet-Led Zep combo for the rock god-deprived Noughties.....Tighter than Phil Lynott's leather trousers and accompanied by a cracking Hammond-player..they deliver maximum wattage heavy rock that you, smalltown America and your dad could all lap up.
RIOTS are a form of civil disorder characterised by disorganized groups lashing out in a sudden and intense rash of violence and niose. While a RIOT may be premeditated and intentionally incited, a true RIOT is quickly joined by people without foreknowledge of the RIOT. While individuals may attempt to lead or control a RIOT, RIOTS are particularly chaotic and exhibit mob mentality. Spread the word, a RIOT is coming.

Godsized are four like-minded musicians with one main ambition in mind – channelling everything they have into creating heavy, groove based hard rock culminating in powerful, dynamic live shows.
After solidifying the bands’ line-up in late 2008 the band quickly established a name for themselves on the live circuit. The band has spent 2009 alternating between the road and working on new material – keeping the hooks huge and the riffs even bigger.
In August 2008, the band headed into the studio to commence work on their E.P; “Brothers in Arms” with producer Mark Mynett. The EP was mastered in L.A by Brian Gardner (Alterbridge, Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold).
Leaving in their wake a trail of blown speakers, smoking amps and dilapitated engine parts Godsized are a focussed, powerhouse of a band determined to spread their music across the UK and beyond.
In 2005 the band flew to LA to record their debut self titled album with legendary producer Mike Clink (Guns n Roses, Metallica). The album was preceded by the bands first UK top 40 single "You Got Nothing On Me" and also featured the singles "Do You Love Yourself", "Here Comes A Close Up", "Heartbreaker" and "Back In Power". The band toured continuously in the UK to promote the album, building a large and loyal fan base along the way. Armed with a wealth of new material, The Glitterati finished work on their second album in 2009.The record was produced and mixed by Matt Hyde (Slipknot, Bullet For My Valentine, Gallows). The Glitterati emerged from the studio with an album full of swagger and attitude and more importantly, full of great songs.
