H2Ohttp://vault.ticketleap.com/h2o/dates/Jul-04-2013_at_0700PM2013-07-04T19:00:00+01:002013-07-04T23:00:00+01:00H2O is a band that had beginnings like any other band. No one could have guessed that a few guys and a former roadie from New York would start a band as a one-song side project and it would turn into a world-touring powerhouse. They took humble roots and worked their way to add their chapter to the long history of New York Hardcore and they would define the term “melodic hardcore” that would become so common years later. From 1996 to 2003 was unavoidable- four albums on Blackout!, Epitaph, and MCA records with over 300,000 copies sold, constant world touring with the likes of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Rancid, AFI, Pennywise, & the Used, Sick Of It All, the Misfits, 7 Seconds, and Madball, as well as runs on the Warped Tour-they established themselves as a household name and inspired countless others in their wake. In the pre-internet world of hardcore and punk, H2O was the band that blended the heavily-tattooed, unbridled rage of New York bands like the Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front, with the punk melodies of bands like the Descendents and Token Entry. It’s hard to argue that bands a decade later would take the melodic hardcore groundwork laid by H2O to wider audiences.
It's now 2008 and H20 is still here, but Nothing To Prove is not a comeback – that’s way too simple. Nothing to Prove is a statement of everything the band is and a taste of what the band will be in the future - and it’s nothing short of incredible. Frontman Toby Morse said it best, “This time feels urgent. I feel everything on this album has been building up over the last seven years. That’s why this album is called Nothing To Prove - because it’s all out on the table.” This is H2O’s most personal, most angry, most positive, hardest, yet catchiest album to date, and it comes into a scene not unlike the scene that H2O originally entered. Hardcore and punk as concepts have been diluted, confused and hyphenated to the point where it’s a marketing term. Nothing To Prove is a ten-song breath of fresh air and honesty that is poised to revive an otherwise stagnant “scene”.
The re-emergence of H2O hits with the first notes of the opening track, “1995.” Only a few solitary chords before the crashing of a fast, raw and melodic song, complete with classic sing-alongs and a perfect breakdown. The title track is next and while it’s only a minute and a half blast, “Nothing To Prove” sums up H2O’s manifesto for this release: the band is back and while their history speaks for itself, they’re not resting on any laurels. Featuring Agnostic Front’s Roger Miret and the one and only Danny Diablo, the band shows they haven’t forgotten where they came from. As the album progresses, H2O reminds the listener that their penchant for infectious anthems and choruses has not dissipated one bit.
Lyrically, we see Toby Morse as up front and honest as he’s ever been. Anthems about being straight edge in his 30’s (“Still Here”), to being a responsible adult with tattoos (“Heart On My Sleeve”), and the personal sacrifices and vulnerabilities we all feel (“Unconditional”) are all present on Nothing to Prove. With “Sunday,” listeners get a stunning display of Morse’s personal story - the passing of his father when he and his brother, H2O guitarist, Todd Morse, were young children, and the subsequent birth of his own child on the same day of the week. Toby bares it all in one of the most personal songs H20 has written. Ending with the anthem, and first single, “What Happened?” we are presented with a testament to the power of H2O. The song is an anthem about questioning the ethics and motives of bands and music in general today, but the subject is addressed in a positive way. They take an infectious anthem and up the ante with appearances by Lou Koller of Sick Of It All and Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio both showing what they do best. It’s a formidable closer and it’s the last statement in an album that is the most forthright in their career thus far; their hearts are on their sleeves. Bassist Adam Blake commented, “This is the first time I’ve ever seen Toby NEEDING to write lyrics. He just kept writing and writing and writing and it came so easy to him once he got started.”
What makes Nothing To Prove such a monumental album is that it is a collaboration of many long-time H2O fans, only now, instead of stage-diving and singing along, they’re behind the boards of the recording studio, designing the artwork and releasing the albums. Produced by longtime fan and friend of the band, Chad Gilbert (New Found Glory), a new perspective was brought in. Toby said, “Chad really knew how to help us take good songs and make them sound great.” Gilbert stated, “I am a fan of H2O and this is an album that fans of H2O want to hear. They needed to make this record and I’m really proud to be a part of it.” Bridge Nine Records’ owner Chris Wrenn and label manager Karl Hensel both have their own histories with H2O running over a decade as well. “This entire project has been amazing,” Wrenn stated. “Everyone involved is passionate about the album and it’s been a great experience watching this album get created start to finish and to see the band’s reaction and excitement about the finished product. They’ve never had this kind of control or say in every last aspect of the process. It’s an honor that H2O is a part of our legacy and it’s an honor that Bridge Nine is apart of H2O’s legacy.”
H2O, much like you’d expect, is hitting every corner of the globe spreading the word that H2O is undeniably back.

We Are The Oceanhttp://vault.ticketleap.com/we-are-the-ocean/dates/Aug-03-2013_at_0600PM2013-08-03T18:00:00+01:002013-08-03T22:00:00+01:00The way you know if a band is any good is if they make it to a third album; the way you know a band is truly special is if they make a third album that blows everything else they’ve ever done completely out of the water. We Are The Ocean’s third album is called ‘Maybe Today, Maybe Tomorrow’, and it does just that. “This,” states guitarist / vocalist Alfie Scully, “is how we’ve wanted to sound for years.”
What’s most impressive about the 10 tracks that comprise ‘Maybe Today, Maybe Tomorrow’ is that they constitute an entirely new beginning for the Essex four-piece while both paying lip-service to their roots and signaling a bright new future. This is the sound of a young band taking some gigantic risks and hearing them pay off, in some style.
And there was no greater gamble for frontman Liam Cromby, bassist Jack Spence, drummer Tom Whittaker and Scully than to part ways with former singer Dan Brown in June. Having recorded the majority of the record with producer Peter Miles (The King Blues, Dry The River, Canterbury) the remaining members of the band felt something was wrong and decided to move forward as a quartet otherwise they wouldn’t be doing their new songs justice. “It was to do with our personal happiness,” explains Cromby. “When making this decision we said if this divebombs then it divebombs, but we'll be happier for it.”
“We didn't think of it as a brave step. We didn't care what anyone else thought because we knew it was the best thing for us.”
After forming in 2007, We Are the Ocean quickly made a name for themselves after signing to UK indie powerhouse Hassle (Alexisonfire, Trash Talk, Cancer Bats) to release their debut self-titled EP, winning a nomination for Best British Newcomer the following year. Its follow-up ‘Look Alive’ was released the year after, and debut full-length ‘Cutting Our Teeth’ came hot on its heels in early 2010. It was the emergence of second album ‘Go Now And Live’ last year, though, that cemented the band as a powerhouse-in-waiting of UK rock; packed with colossal choruses, the album enjoyed significant commercial success thanks to strong support from national press and Radio 1. It propelled We Are the Ocean onto Reading and Leeds’ mainstage and allowed them to go global, winning prestigious slots on Australia’s Soundwave tour and signing a US deal with the revered SideOneDummy (The Gaslight Anthem, Title Fight).
All this, however, was practice for what was to come.
With Cromby, Scully, Spence and Whittaker working as an ensemble for the first time, We Are The Ocean were able to broaden their scope and write songs that are both more intimate and expansive than ever before. From tender opener ‘Stanford Rivers’ through propulsive stand-out ‘Machine’ to ‘Pass Me By’, featuring Scully on lead vocals for the first time, ‘Maybe Today, Maybe Tomorrow’ is a warm collection of songs that all sound endearingly cohesive.
“We were all excited about working like this,” says Scully, “because if something needed to be done, everybody would get together and it would get done by us four.”
In another first for We Are The Ocean, the lyrics to ‘Machine’, the triumphant centerpiece of the album, were written by all four members in the live room, riffing off each other and creating something they all had an equal hand in.
“We all felt we could relate to that feeling of not wanting to be owned,” explains Cromby of the song’s message, “and I think other people will too, whether it’s to do with relationships, jobs or being taken from a family.”
The fact Cromby and Scully stayed up until 4am most nights writing and recording alone together is what gives the record its fluency, exemplified by lead single ‘Bleed’, one of Zane Lowe’s Hottest Records In The World.
And as Cromby made the decision to step into the role of frontman, he found himself opening up more than ever before, making this by far the most personal record We Are The Ocean have ever released. Of ‘Stanford Rivers’, named after the miserable little place he used to live, he says: “A while back, I had a real bad writer's block and it was really depressing. I saw it as the last time I felt this bad was when I lived in Stanford Rivers when I was about 13; my parents had broken up, we were in the middle of nowhere and I didn't have any friends nearby.”
“I wanted the song to be for people that know what it was like. My family.”
‘Maybe Today, Maybe Tomorrow’ will mark a fundamental shift in the way people see We Are The Ocean, as they go onto bigger and better things than they could have imagined. This is the moment they stand up and start fulfilling their potential.

Tragedy Bio
Tragedy: All Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees and Beyond, has changed the face of music forever. Tragedy takes your favorite Bee Gees, disco and soft-rock classics and reinvents them in a Heavy Metal fashion. The result is aural ecstasy. You may enter the Tragedy experience unaware of your latent appreciation for gooey soft rock or flamboyant metal, but you shall emerge forever humbled by the greatness of Tragedy (and covered in glitter!).
Tragedy has sold out venues like Bowery Ballroom, Brooklyn Bowl and Terminal 5 in their hometown of NYC, as well as those in far-away lands such as London, Glasgow, Disneyland, Austin, Boston, DC, Tampa and Guilfest (with Motorhead).
Tragedy has released two critically acclaimed albums: We Rock Sweet Balls and Can Do No Wrong and Humbled By Our Greatness. Production for their third, Death to False Disco-Metal, is underway.
“Tragedy manage to dwell in the realm of novelty while far exceeding their worth as a concept ... the aesthetic is somewhere in between the flamboyance of the disco-era Bee Gees and the flamboyance of mid-eighties hair metal, with some extra flamboyance thrown in for the sake of flamboyance.”
Tiny Mix Tapes
“Hard riffs, tight white flares, and even tighter octave-scraping harmonies…essential listening.”
The Sun, UK
“Everyone from Feist to Tom Jones has covered the disco hits of the Bee Gees, but perhaps no one does those gooey soft-rock numbers better than Tragedy…Shiny costumes, dramatic eye makeup and headbanging hilarity…”
Village Voice
“Back in the dark days of disco, the Bee Gees were the shit, despite having massive teeth, bigger hair and a falsetto only dogs could hear…with the righteous power of heavy metal, We Rock Sweet Balls and Can Do No Wrong mixes Guns ‘N’ Roses swagger, the Scorpions’ sense of pomp and Judas Priest-esque vocals to create a sound that is exactly like The Darkness!”

Successfully applying this atrocious inventiveness to their perversely precise sonic executions, “European death metal butchers” ABORTED with members hailing from Belgium, France & UK have refined and re-defined the tools of their trade on their seventh full-length “Global Flatline” to murder the listener with unimaginably gruesome, shockingly diverse brutality.
After the already much-lauded Century Media debut “Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture” their newest effort turns out to be ABORTED’s most meticulous, ferocious and variable to date. Whether they pummel the listener with relentless blastbeats, fester in your veins with infectious grooves, cut arteries utilizing sadistically shredding leads and gurgle, snarl with inhuman violence, these guys make sure they leave no witnesses to their evil deeds.“Global Flatline” impresses with a more raw and extreme, effective songwriting emphasizing dynamics and darker, refreshingly modern elements that broaden the extremely lethal death metal the band has been known and feared for since its conception in 1995.
Combining the band’s undeniable live energy with a powerhouse production from Eric Rachel (The Red Chord, The Black Dahlia Murder, God Forbid etc.) and a “fuck you' rock'n roll” approach to the overly edited, sterile sounding death metal records of today, ABORTED succeed in retaining their vicious roots while evolving in terms of melody, musical virtuosity and vigor. Taking the album’s lyrical concept of true crime, serial killer topics quite literally, Colin Marks’ frighteningly realistic and brutal artwork for “Strychnine.213” reinforces the notion that ABORTED have doubtlessly developed into extreme metal’s most promising new breed.
Having toured with Behemoth, Kataklysm, Cryptopsy or lately Heaven Shall Burn, sharing festival stages with Hatebreed, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, the Belgian quintet is highly respected for its intense live shows. In ABORTED’s degenerated worldview murder is fun and you will be delighted to be killed by their new aural toxin…

“Just as you sow you shall reap” is a line from Big Country’s first ever single ‘Harvest Home’ of 1983 and 30 years on from that release Big Country are still as committed to the live stage and performing their unique sounding music as ever. ‘Back then we built our audience through non-stop gigging” says founder member Bruce Watson, “The band feels reborn and we are happy to go out there and prove it every night no matter how far we have to travel”.The band recently wrapped up a successful campaign throughout Europe and the UK, culminating in a triumphant show at London’s The Forum on June 2nd. On the heels of these dates, the demand for more “Big Country” brings a second trek to the U.K. with the ‘Land’s End To John O’Groats Tour’ 2013. These will be more micro events than tour dates, with sets crafted for each hometown. Every song, and every note, of every show will be an extension of the town’s people, aimed straight at the heart of each community, promising the communion of soul and sound. The band just kicked off a three month North American tour launching with a show at the legendary Grammercy Theater in New York, on June 7th.Big Country’s latest release “The Journey” (which is the first album from Big Country in 14 years), has been lauded by fans and critics alike. This amazing body of work harkens back to the Scottish roots of the band’s beginnings, and lays down a marker for what the future holds for a group that organically collected itself out of a deep sense of love, brotherhood, and respect for original vocalist, Stuart Adamson, who left us way too early on December 16th, 2001. Hurt, Another Country, Hail & Farewell, and the title track, The Journey, invite the listener in, and hold them tight to the chest of the hope and humanity that a great album extends. “We have had to dig deep to make this record and it has given us a new lease of life, It’s been gratifying to see and hear the fans welcoming our new music alongside the old, especially after all that has happened since we lost Stuart.” says drummer Mark Brzezicki. “The past is the past and it is safe where it is. It’s now time for some new memories”.Alongside Big Country founder members Bruce Watson (guitar) and Mark Brzezicki (drums), the band are complimented by singer Mike Peters (The Alarm), guitarist Jamie Watson (Bruce's son), plus former Simple Minds bassist Derek Forbes. “The Journey represents the transition everyone associated with Big Country has had to make and that goes for the band and the fans” says vocalist and lyricist Mike Peters “The new songs have been drawn from the same creative well that has fuelled all of Big Country’s music and everyone who has been prepared to look and listen can see the continuity.”Formed in Dunfermline in 1981, Big Country went on to become one of the most celebrated British rock bands of a generation. Selling more than 10 million albums worldwide and toured with such luminaries as The Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Queen. Following the tragic death of Stuart Adamson in 2001 the band remained dormant until New Years Eve 2010. Since then the band have played at all the major UK and European Festivals including Isle Of Wight, T-in the Park, V, Oxegen and Pink Pop, In 2013, 30 years after the release of Big Country’s seminal single ‘In A Big Country’ that triggered a lifetime of highs and lows Big Country remain true to the words that fired their initial success ‘Stay Alive’.. As this remarkable journey continues night after night, audiences can still expect to hear all the greatest Big Country hits plus a few surprise guests along the way; So, grab your suitcase, buy a ticket, take “The Journey”.

The band is made up of 9 experienced musicians (Featuring members of BRING THE PLAGUE, VIOLENT VIRTUES & HURON) who have known each other for many years, and have been 'Maggots' since a young age.
Originally forming for a one-off 'Stars In Their Eyes' show, the band soon realised the potential that the act had. After spending all summer in the studio perfecting mayhem the band took the show on the road with a full U.K. tour and the reviews on this page from 'Maggots' speak for themselves.Not wanting to rest on their laurels, Knotslip return to the studio over Winter 12/13 to bring you a brand new show for the 2013 tour, if you have or promote at a venue that you think can handle us, please get in touch!
Knotslip bring the FULL SLIPKNOT experience; masks, suits AND kegs.

Look busy....
One of the first and finest British bands to take their chosen genres, and twist & stomp them into something completely differant, Al Rumjen, Devil Hands, Nikolai Jones and Dr Nelly have returned to continue forging their own path and take us places we've rarely been before and may not want to go. Original bassist, Barbar Luck has chosen not to come back, but that's OK, get over it, he's doing fine on his own. He has been replaced by Zac Chang.
After festival appearances including Slam Dunk, Rebellion August 10th ,Boom Town Fair August 11th and Reading & Leeds this summer, KING PRAWN will tour the UK in November
