sand creek massacre
SCM is a band from The Netherlands (Zwolle, Overijssel) that plays Not-D-Beat mixed with Hardcore and Crust. It started at the end of 2006 as a project of Erik (Ex-Rabid, Ex-Civil War on drums) and Sander (Ex-Jobcrusher vocals) who joined forces with Kim and Peter, who picked up the guitars. A bassplayer was found in Kapoen for more than a year, but since he liked shipping containers and technobasses more, he was replaced by xWammusx, an ICT-expert on the rise! After 1,5 year, the band decided that Sander had become way to sexy to still fit in...

The Brownies
There are two bands called The Brownes: 1) A five-piece band from Norwich, England. Myspace "The tag 'pop punk' for one generation at least will always conjure up images of Blink 182 and Sum 41, yet the type of Pop Punk that The Brownies juggle up is far removed from this. It's shouty-faced pop punk that's pocketed Riot Grrrl's bite, and been trapped under an avalanche of glowing pop hooks on the escape.
Cardamon
Early 2004 in Zeist, Netherlands, Thomas Kalksma and Koen Romeijn from renowned Dutch Death/Thrash metal band Detonation came up with the idea to form a new band. But not just another band, the general idea was to form a band in which both guys could experiment with more mellow music and rock-oriented ideas. The decision to search for a "clean singing" vocalist was clear. The first ideas and song structures that were written, were obviously way too laid back for a brutal metal vocalist.
