About the artists
Deftones
Sacramento-spawned experimental metallers.
Deftones are...
- Camillo 'Chino' Moreno - vocals
- Stephen Carpenter - guitar
- Chi Cheng - bass
- Frank Delgado - turntables
- Abe Cunningham - drums
Formed back in 1988 (albeit not in their current five-person line-up), Deftones have been challenging preconceptions about the metal genre ever since their 1995 debut, Adrenaline. Their breakthrough album, Around The Fur (1997), saw them step up to the international stage; the album spawned the hit singles 'Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)' and 'My Own Summer (Shove It)'. The band's next LP, 2000's White Pony, was a more ambient affair than any preceding material - it was met by confusion in certain critical circles, but is generally regarded as one of the finest left-of-centre metal releases of the last decade. A single, 'Back To School', received a lot of MTV play, and is included on certain editions of White Pony.
The band's self-titled 2003 album saw them continue to push away from typical metal structures - although riffs were still heavy, and vocals coarse, many more atmospheric facets became obvious. In 2006 the band release Saturday Night Wrist, their fifth long-player. It's preceded by a single, 'Hole In The Earth'

Backyard Babies
The Backyard Babies are a newish band... certainly not the Rock 'n' Roll classics they try to be. The have the typical rock 'n' roll sound and some classic-wannabe tunes to go with it... and there's no denying that they're VERY pretty. Perhaps a more modern approach would be more commercial and saleable»
Soulfly
Soulfly are...
- Max Cavalera - vocals, guitar
- Jackson Bandiera - guitar
- Marcello D Rapp - bass
- Roy Mayorga - drums
InMe
Dave McPherson/Vocals & Guitar
Joe Morgan/Bass
Simon Taylor/Drums
With a collective age of 18 and 20 years old, InMe have known each other for years (Dave and Joe met at school when they were 5 years old), and as such, InMe are not just a close knit band, but lifelong friends. This fact is evident in their music in that the band members’ immense understanding of each other brings a level of maturity to their songs not often heard in a band this young. It is this natural bond between them, both personally and musically, that is the key to the passion and honesty behind everything InMe does. Not surprising then, that InMe is already making a substantial impact on everyone who sees and hears them:
“The unfeasibly talented Dave McPherson effortlessly wails and growls his way through each song…Magic.” Drowned In Sound
“InMe…are writhing in the obvious glory of their set…Heads are craning, feet taping – good vibes abound. InMe…have claimed a victory tonight.” Metal Hammer
“Although hard to pinpoint an exact sound, it’s fair to say that InMe sound like a lot of bands all rolled into one. At times grungy a la Pearl Jam, at times dark a la Sunna and at times melodic a la Nirvana – when all rolled into one they’re a ball of loud guitars and emotion …InMe have caused enough ears to prick up to make the early start worthwhile.” Rock Sound
“InMe’s rather raw three track demo points at things to come, there’s still youthful exuberance, now it’s also full of promise – three teenagers from Essex who already mesh together so so well. “Ice Warm” is the stand out of the three tracks here with it’s bitter sweet restraint, it’s angelic falsettos, and most of all it’s violined guitar.” Organ Zine/organart.com
InMe begin recording their Music For Nations debut at the end of October with veteran producer Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Fear Factory, SugarComa, OMS) at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire. On choosing Mr. Richardson for production duties, Dave McPherson says “All the stuff we’ve heard, especially recently, just sounds so fresh. Colin has such a great work ethic and he cares about how a band is put across.” Tentatively titled “Overgrown Eden”, confirmed song titles on InMe’s debut are “Underdose”, “Firefly”, “Wounds”, “Lava Twilight”, “Natural”, “Her Mask”, “Energy”, “Crushed Like Fruit”, “Ice Warm”, “Trenches”, “Neptune” and “Mosaic”. The album is scheduled for release on the 27 January 2003. In the meantime, you can hear demo versions of “Lava Twilight” and “Ice Warm” at http://www.mp3.com/inme.

'In Chicago's post-Pumpkins aftermath, an electrifying new surge of hard music is escalating. It is out of this groundswell that the rock band SOiL emerges with a roar, spreading rock across America and throughout the music industry.'»
Funeral For A Friend
- Matt Davies - vocals
- Kris Roberts - guitar
- Ryan Richardson - drums
- Darran Smith - guitar
- Gareth Davies - bass
January Thirst died in early December 2001 when one of their two vocalists decided to quit the band. Matthew Evans (vocals) and Johnny Phillips (Drums) immediately called up Matt Davies and asked if he would be interested in trying out for the vacant singer position, not really one to turn down an opportunity he agreed, came along to practice and belted out some tunes with the rest of the band. Later that day he was in. Huddled in their practice space every week the band started to focus on writing material that combined the power of hardcore and metal with the melodic backbone of the punk and emo scene. With a diverse set of influences, the songs written were a solid indication of the new direction that the band were taking gaining comparisons to the likes of Boy Sets Fire, Waterdown, Poison the Well and more. The band changed their name to Funeral for a Friend.
During the start of the New Year they parted ways with second guitarist Kerry Roberts and found a suitable replacement in Darran Smith (ex-Tripcage) and the band entered Mighty Atom Studios to record four tracks for a proposed self financed EP with another Welsh band From This Moment On…, upon hearing these tracks, Mighty Atom approached the band and offered a two album deal. Since then they have been on the road throughout the UK promoting the EP including supports with the likes of The Lost Prophets, ThisGirl and Movielife.»

My Awesome Compilation
Chris Driver - Guitar & Vocals
Darius Cobb - Bass & Vocals
Andy Driver - Drums
Woody Cobb - Keyboard & Piano
We formed in August 2001 and are from Leicester, England.
In April 2002 we recorded 'Sounds For Entrances', a three track EP, at
Premier Studios with producer Iain Wetherell. We continued to play shows around
the UK and then BSM Records approached us to do a release for them. We
kindly accepted and in February 2003 we released a 6 track mini-album called 'Every
Souvenir has a Story'. We were really pleased with this cd - it was really
fun to record and feels really great when we play live and people are singing
along.
In December 2002, Woody (Darius' brother), joined us on keyboards.
We wanted to add a new sound to the band but didn't want to add another guitar.
Woody has slotted in perfectly and we have begun writing songs together and it's
sounding really cool. The live shows are going really well and everyone seems to
be digging the keyboards!
In July we returned from San Diego, USA after recording our second mini-album.
It is to be released on Sore Point Records (Further Seems Forever,
Brand New, Recover) in early 2004. We recorded at Big Fish Studios
where Jimmy Eat World, Finch & Blink 182 have all recorded
before, so it was a great experience to follow in some great bands' footsteps.
The CD was produced by Ben Moore, who has also worked with Rocket from the
Crypt, Counterfeit and Noise Ratchet. He is a top guy and
pushed us harder than ever before and he did a fantastic job on the production.
We have just finished shooting a video for 'As Always' which will be
appearing on digital TV early in the new year. Another notable highlight this
year has been playing support to The Darkness! Next years plans are to
tour hard and write for our album which should be out by October 2004.
