Me First and the Gimme Gimmes On Tour
In 1997 the Gimme Gimmes released a handful of 7”s on various labels before releasing their first full length, Have a Ball. No one could’ve predicted the success to which that album was received, nor could anyone explain the phenomenon that swept the punk scene. Two years later in 1999, the Gimme Gimmes returned with their second record Are a Drag. On this album, the Gimmes took on the task of covering show tunes and punk-a-fying them. Needless to say it was a success as they did everything from Grease to Annie to Evita. 2001 brought forth their third full length, Blow ...

Enter Shikari - Making Of Video
ENTER SHIKARI In Enter Shikari's short time on this planet since forming in St. Albans, Hertfordshire in 2003, the band has had some impressive achievements. Should you need reminding (not that we'd ever get sick of telling you), by November 2006 - while still yet to release their debut single - they became only the second unsigned band ever to sell out London’s legendary Astoria venue (and the last, as it turned out, as the place is to be bulldozed to make way for yet more glass and brushed steel shrines to rampant consumerism and pointlessly expensive accommodation) and their heroic / ...

Deaf Havana & All Forgotten - Liverpool Academy - 11/03/09
When we arrived, we had already missed the first support act, so if you hoped to hear about Crimson Pheonix, I'm sorry. I can tell you about Atera. They came out on stage, with a pretty 'scene' looking singer. I expected something mellow or pop-punk, or at least I didn't expect them to sound anything like they do. The death metal vocals and the ability of the guitarists impressed me. I'm not a fan of the growling etc. but the music was definately very entertaining. My favourite song of theirs was called Puppeteers (As I learnt later from their myspace). An unexpected solo early ...
Flogging Molly
Flynn Productions directorial duo, Kari & Saul were enlisted by Flogging Molly to make the band’s latest music video for single ‘Float’, due for release on SideOneDummy Records on 13th April 2009. The song is the title track from the band’s 2008 full-length. With the video for ‘Float’, Flogging Molly were determined to do something different and the concept they eventually settled on has evolved into an evocative and cinematic piece of work. Dave King of the band says “When we first started considering a video for ‘Float’, all the ideas with the band in it seemed very generic. We had ...
