Consecrated Flesh

A Lancashire based quartet, Consecrated Flesh is a project that has taken much time and planning to come to fruition. With influences that range from bands like Immortal and 1349 to Rush and Pink Floyd, this particular brand of metal will excite those with a liking for extreme speed, melancholic melodies, and intense riffing. The guitar duo Andrew Shackleton and Will Anderson’s aggressive guitar parts, bassist Rory Bettany’s smooth rhythms and Max Mcleod’s thunderous drumming create the crushing sound that is Consecrated Flesh.

Weebl

Weebl, (real name Jonti Picking) owner of www.weebls-stuff.com, is a comedic flash animator/musician. Most of his jokes are completely random, or deal with pie in some way. Weebl created the "Weebl and Bob" series of flash animations, which consist of two egg-like objects, a large one named Weebl, and a smaller one named Bob. They talk incoherently, but this problem is fixed with speech bubbles. They have bad grammar (e.g. "You bringed back pie!").

Spidermilk

"They will cradle you in their arms and spin webs of thought that lift the swaddled listener out of the fray to be soothed awhile in the thoughts of another. They will remind you that the walls in your head don't belong to you, and excite your spirit in awkward moments of unabashed honesty, that warn you that you must walk into the woods to come out the other side. However, winter's almost gone, and there is room for things to germinate.
