"We were definitely out of control on our first tour, Ozzfest 2001," Mr. Banks admits. "It wasn't enough to just play our music; we also had to fire shotguns on stage and throw pigheads at the crowd.

I Plead Irony

“Been there, done that, but still more than happy to make some noise”. If I Plead Irony had a motto it would probably be along those lines. Based in Farnborough these “accomplished band whores” as a local rock hero Paul Townsend (Hundred Reasons) describes them certainly have a lot under their belts to be proud of. This three piece consisting of Rauf (Bass and Vocals) Lawrence (Drums) and Paul (Guitar) who made up 60% The Fins, 66.

Currently cutting a swathe through the musical scene of Bradford and the North of England are battle-hardened metallers, The Gods of Hellfire. This newly formed collection of grisly lovers of the riff are ready to take the country by storm with their no holds barred, down tuned, pedal to the metal riff assault. Taking their cues from veterans such as Trouble and Black Sabbath, as well as adding the contemporary sound of more modern bands such as Grand Magus and High on Fire, the band wear their influences on their sleeve without ever falling into the trap of being clones.

GIGGS

“I didn’t even think it would get that big,” Giggs frankly reveals about the anthemic freestyle that has propelled him to the forefront of the underground scene. “Really I just wrote that track for myself, I didn’t even think anyone else would like it.” On that count, it’s quite fair to say that the South London spitter was very wrong! The track which starts off, “If you’re talking the hardest...” doesn’t even have a name, but can regularly be heard seeping out of kids’ mobile phones, as well as beating out of the radio thanks to the likes of Tim Westwood, DJ Limelight and Big Ryde.

It's definitely a notch beyond "party breaks" when the "hacksaw" cuts in with a barrage of his trademark uptempo tweakbeats. Jnr's tracks are available exclusively through www.addictech.com
