Hellogoodbye

A lot has happened to Hellogoodbye since the Huntington Beach, California-based act released their breakthrough album Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! back in 2006.

Over the past four years the band have parted with their old record label, retooled their lineup, released a handful of EPs and performed everywhere from the Philippines to living rooms. All of these cumulative experiences play into the band’s new album Would It Kill You? a collection of perfect pop gems that not only proves that Hellogoodbye are still relevant but affirms that if anything, they’ve sharpened their musical edge over the past few years—and looking back, the band’s frontman Forrest Kline sees the past few years as an amazing opportunity to hone his craft without pressure.

Bachelor Pad

A lo-fi band from Sydney, Australia, formed in 2010. Inspired by spicy chicken burgers and Warrick Capper's flowing mullet, their sound has been described as "artfully f*cked up." Hyperbole.tv had this to say about their music: "while the bass throbs and the guitar rumbles with giddy fuzz you can’t help but nod your head like a grinning idiot."

A Day Overdue

2009 was a year of mixed emotions for Edinburgh based five-piece A Day Overdue. After a scintillating start to their career as a band which brought support slots with the likes of My Passion, Summerlin, The Gap Year Riot and Jakil and the release of not one but two EP's, the boys seemed to have the world at their feet. After a winter which included illness, lineup changes, financial ruin and the near-break up of the band, ADO are back with new songs, new band members, and an unfaltering commitment to achieve their dreams.

BLACK CIRCLES

Ask anyone....three is the magic number...... All three cut their teeth on the touring highway before fate brought them together in Kent. Dan, Mayumi & Simon quickly grew into the alternative rock band that is now banging at your door! Second to none live, their dedication, spirit and raw talent produce a sound to die for. Take Biffy Clyro..... Add Queens of The Stone Age.....Multiply by Nirvana.....
