After a killer year last year that saw the band trail across the country and release their album ‘Proof That Ghosts Exist’, Fights and Fires are starting the year on a high and are a must see act of 2012
http://fightsandfires.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/fightsandfires

The Orchard –
The Orchard have created their own distinct niche. They are the welcome outcasts, always well received at Hardcore, Punk or Metal shows, without ever confirming to one precise genre. This wide appeal can be traced back to the bands’ diverse span of influences, which ranges from Guns N’ Roses, Down, Black Sabbath to contemporary bruisers such as Every Time I Die & Cancer Bats.

Formed in the winter of 2010, ‘Capital Sun’ are a four-piece Acoustic rock band from Birmingham England. The band’s major influences are bands and artists from the late 60s early 70s, which combined with very current lyrical themes, Gives the band a pertinent sound to today’s listener. The band began as an acoustic duo called ‘Mute Existence’, with founder members Glen Boden (Acoustic Guitar & Vocals) and Andrew Smith (Electric Guitar). Over time the songs required a bigger sound. Andy started playing the Electric Guitar and two new members were recruited in the form of Luke Weston (Bass Guitar) and Chris Taylor (Drums). This is when ‘Mute Existence’ became ‘Capital Sun.’ A powerful, progressive and dynamic sound, combined with a charismatic performance that will always leave a crowd asking for more.

‘Capital Sun’ have supported the following acts;

‘Sound Of Guns,’ ‘The View’ and ‘The Enemy’

‘Capital Sun’ are currently working on a single with Grammy nominated record producer Chris Tsangarides!

ZICO CHAIN:

“THE DEVIL IN YOUR HEART” is a high five to the inconsolable in all of us, a celebration of triumph and relief, born through the eyes and ears of three musicians who had to go there to come back. THE DEVIL IN YOUR HEART is the fist pumping new album from London alt-rockers, Zico Chain.

THE DEVIL IN YOUR HEART is a self produced labor of love. Having given up everything to pursue the unknown, the band bedded down in various derelict buildings around the UK and began recording.

“We never went near a studio. We were sat in an empty house in winter, with ants everywhere and no heating, but our amps were still buzzing and we were talking about how we could find a way to record an orchestra” adds Chris.

The band realized every seemingly impossible ambition and went on to work with award winning string arranger Audrey Riley, who’s impressive resume includes collaborations with rock giants such as Muse and Foo Fighters.

The result is a self-made and self-funded lap of honor, an achievement of truly epic proportions. Armed with their hard earned formidable live reputation and their relentless DIY ethics, it’s almost impossible to imagine ZICO CHAIN not climbing to the greatest heights and beyond in 2012.

TO THE BONES:

In a world where riffs are king and master, To The Bones are essential. Hailing from glamorous Bolton, the four-piece clash together a feral mix of hooks, melody and feedback, like The Pixies covering Motorhead, or Kyuss attempting a ‘pop’ record. A straight ahead nasty mix of dark and angry scuzz rock, the band return to the fray on November 22nd with the new ‘Astral Magic’ EP produced by Sean Genockey (Reuben, The Futureheads, Baddies).

“Marvellous urgency and intelligence – all layered fuzzy guitars, a pounding rhythm section, impassioned vocals and the unlikeliest hooks… To The Bones are sure to become a significant name in UK independent rock… Keep your eyes and ears open.”- Rock Sound Magazine

A bit about To The Bones – Having released a split single through Org Records at the start of 2008, To The Bones signed up with new label Medici Records in May. In July, the band released a double A-side made up of the scuzzed-up fuzzed-out melody of ‘Sonic Mammoth’ and the terrifying aural assault of ‘Sharkie’s Bone Symphony’. They received airplays from Zane Lowe and Bruce Dickinson at the BBC and were invited to record an Xfm session for John Kennedy. The NME, Rock Sound and The Fly gave them mentions – from out of nowhere had appeared a fearsome new force in rock. Even MTV2 noticed what was going on, playing the band’s video on 120 Minutes and Headbanger’s Ball. Having heard about the building buzz, producer Dave Eringa (Manics, Idlewild, Ash) offered his services to the band for free. In 24 hours, the band recorded and mixed their second Medici Records single. Entitled Rex, and released on September 29th, it’s a hypnotic, mesmerising blend of crushing riffs and tribal, chanted melody. It’s a song that demands an immediate re-listen – and then another, and another and another… With two new b-sides and featuring exclusive artwork by acclaimed comic book artist JackAdemus, it’s another signal of intent.

To The Bones then went on to release their 3rd single in April 2009 which was a specially re-recorded version of album highlight ‘Lips On Red’. They continued to tour and went on to play at the infamous Leeds and Reading Festival, Guilfest 2009 on the Rocksound stage and even opened for Eagles of Death Metal at Brixton Academy London….

London based melodic-punks, Apologies, I Have None release their hometown-tale filled debut album on Monday 19th March.

Named after a line in a Grade song (‘The Tension Between Stillness And Motion’), the quartet, made up of Dan Bond (vocals/guitar), Josh McKenzie (vocals/guitar), PJ Shepherd (bass) and Joe Watson (drums), have spent the last few years honing their craft, releasing a series of EP’s and splits and touring with the likes of I Am The Avalanche, Hostage Calm, Samiam and Crazy Arm in the process.

Now, the time has come for their debut full-length, named as a nod to some of the album’s track titles and subject matter, ‘Holloway or Anywhere’, ‘The 26’ and ‘Sat In Vicky Park’, for example. Produced by Peter Miles (The King Blues, Tellison) in his secluded studio in Devon – ‘London’, is a collection of infectious songs about love, life, death and lessons learnt.

View the video for album opener, ‘60 Miles’, directed by Joe Spray, below:
