Amanda Woodward
"Like it or not, French men are often associated with being on the more effeminate side of things, but Amanda Woodward do not slow down long enough to offer a single example of such wimpery. No, these songs are not long, epic passages; they’re short, passionate bursts of energy that convey the band's sociopolitical message in radical form. Post-rock instrumental passages, chaotic screaming, thundering guitars, and its tied together with a social and political message all their own."

"The impact of Amanda Woodward's set was comparable to the excitement I felt unearthing punk rock for the first time... and on La Decadence de la Decadence the listener continuously gets stung by melodic guitar lashes, swirling reverberation, screams of desperation and anguish, and hard-driving dynamics that will ricochet in your head well after the needle stops. With their newest offering, punk rock has never sounded so alive, and the French language has never sounded so cool."

Aussitot Mort
"Even though it is full of the usual epic swells and twinkling spacey melodic breakdowns that define the instrument-driven post-hardcore genre, Aussitot Mort's music takes the listener beyond the realms of the 100s of similar sounding bands currently playing this style. The format is more creative, the notes a little more daring and expansive. This is a fresh sound midst a field swollen with nearly one hundred other bands all roaring and thundering on the same structures and principles. Each song on this EP feels like its nine minutes long, yet none of them breach five. The runs are all simple but clever and the riffing is large and weighty. There is just a depth to this release that reminds me of what makes Envy so unique. There is a huge quality to the music that defies a simple definition- it’s like seeing the fin of a huge shark peak above the water; you know the beast is there and that jagged hint is more than enough to scare you ****less."

Tunguska
"Two brothers from Lublin, Poland and three lads from Dublin/Wicklow making an awkward, down-tuned racket. First gig as a 5-piece. Former/current members of Easpa Measa, Silence, DeNovissimis, Juliette, Mongolia, Kidd Blunt, Antichrist, Burn It To The Ground, Scientific Bong"

Negasus
"With almost one year of gigging nearly over, Negasus have played to crowds around the country in places such as Limerick, Dublin and numerous times in Galway. They have been fortunate to play with succesful bands such as Acidtone, Emily, On/Off and many other talented acts along the way. Now with the upcoming release of the Blastbeat Vol. IV compilation CD, a studio version of the track "Mana-Gaga" can be heard for the first time." - i got this info from their myspace, however i think a quick listen to their stuff and you will be surprised...
