Gig Guide: Thu 8th May

 

Thu 8th May 19:30 The Derby Battle of the Bands 2008 18s and Over

The final round of the 18s and Over Derby Battle of the Bands 2008 takes place on Thursday 8th May. Only 3 places are left in the semi-finals. Heat 5 features…

As The Earth Burns - A Brutal Alternative Heavy Metal Band, with influences branching from; Machine Head, Slayer, Inflames, Iron Maiden, SlipKnoT, Devil Driver, Disturbed and Rage to name a few.

Edison - In a humble garage near the city of Derby, the 4 members of Edison armed with guitars, drums and mics have been not so quietly preparing for their escape into the unsuspecting world of gig-goers...

Addictive Philosophy - The main direction of the band is Ska, but with a healthy dose of Punk and the occasional injection of Thrash - the lyrics range from everyday life to politics, to comedy. There’s even a ballad. Only one. They have played alongside Buzzcocks, Dr and the Medics, Stranglers, Highliners and plenty of Scooter Rallies.

Pressure - Pressure combine prog/rock sax fused with punk/rock guitars, with gritty melodic vocals in a red/black haze of frantic energy.
Sax Rock at its best!

Sinatra
