Chromatics

Chromatics originally hailed from Seattle as a quartet featuring vocalist Adam Miller, drummer Hannah Blilie, guitarist Devin Welch, and bassist Michelle Nolan. That lineup debuted in 2002 with a Calvin Johnson-produced 7" on Gold Standard Laboratories -- a split with Die Monitr Batss -- and followed with the similarly GSL-issued Chrome Rats Vs Basement Ruts LP. While Chrome Rats was critically hailed, Chromatics couldn't keep it together, and Miller was soon the only member in good standing (Blilie, Welch, and Nolan went on to form the similar-sounding Shoplifting).

Flashheart

Evolving from local band, 13 Riots, the members of Flashheart joined forces and together are looking to explode onto the burgeoning darker and heavier side of the UK alternative scene. As 13 Riots they achieved a range of successes including Download Festival 2009, performing a Red Bull Bedroom Jam and supporting You Me At Six in 2010, 2011 is going to be the year that Flashheart make a name for themselves as one of the best acts on the circuit. Shows include dizzying performances and musical technique, as well as sing-along choruses and hench breakdowns like you wouldn't believe.

Dead Combo

They play Lisbon, the city of the countryside, chimneys and white domes, sceneries of a lost past, the fado, the loiter western, all together in a voodoo of emotions, the Tagus river, misplaced lovers, abandoned angels in the crossroads of destiny, flowers with misplaced colours, saints, burning hot chambers, naked guitars, thrown on the street, double basses on fire, top hats, chickens on the loose and things that roll on the street.
