HIGH FIVE TURNS FIVE

GALLOWS (UK)
Även om bandet nyligen bytte sångare är fanskaran mer eller mindre intakt. Den här typen av punk brukar ha den effekten på folk. Vi förväntar oss att publiken hjälper bandet att välta stället.

” Wade MacNeil (ex-Alexisonfire vocalist) certainly knows how to kick the crap out of a crowd as he throws himself into a turmoil of aggression with an earth shattering vocal to match his performance today. The whole band are on top form as they smash out their classic tracks with debut album delight ‘In The Belly Of A Shark’ being the ultimate crowd pleaser of their set list. The Prodigy might have been playing in the background but that did not stop the band filling out the tent and pounding out their hardcore epicness from beginning to end! 10/10” – http://www.hitthefloor.co.uk/ om Download festival i Donington i juni.

HORISONT (GBG)
Två skivor in har det här Göteborgsbandet sett till att de ger alla andra 70-talsdoftande hårdrocksband i Sverige en riktig kamp om titeln som landets allra finaste. Inte bara det, de står nu högt i kurs på de flesta platser de besökt.

“Horisont have diverged from their original Deep Purple/Mountain style hard boogie workouts to progress to rock that sounds more like Uli Jon Roth-era Scorpions but still retains some of the doom-laden quality of their earlier material. Live they’re even more headbanging than on record with dynamic dual-lead guitar lines suggesting an appreciation of NWOBHM [… ] in rock music you sometimes have to suspend disbelief and just nod your head to the mighty songs and riffs – and those songs and riffs are utterly sensational.”
– Austin Matthews, Happening magazine.

FEED THE RHINO (UK)
Gallows turnésällskap togs emot med öppna armar av den engelska pressen när de debuterade, och deras senaste skiva har redan blivit omskriven. De drar för närvarande runt så mycket de kan på vägarna.

“It’s great to hear a hardcore band that are open to throwing in some bluesy riffs. Quite like our Norwegian favourites, Kvelertak. Visually, they were never still for a second and put everything they had into their half hour set. Without a doubt one of the most entertaining bands of the weekend. The hardcore scene is thriving in the UK and whilst competition is fierce, Feed The Rhino have an edge that should see them stand out from the masses and go far […] frontman Lee Tobin could easily be the hardest bastard at Hammerfest this year.”
– Gary Wolstenholme, Thrashits.com

“This English hardcore band surprised me big time and gave the audience a great show. Everybody in the band showed an energy I have not witnessed very often. I really enjoyed this show and Feed The Rhino made me an instant fan.” – Neurotic, metalrage.com

PRIMITIVE RITES (MALMÖ)
Kärleksfull version av tidig amerikansk HC precis som du vill ha den. Snabb, stöddig och lagom ful i kanterna. Det här Malmöbandet med rötterna i band som Sista Sekunden, Kamikatze, Fy Fan och Auktion är nästan för bra för att vara sant.
