Name : The Chaos Emerald
Hometown : Dublin
Type of Music : ROCK/HARDROCK
Website : www.myspace.com/thechaosemerald
Sounds Like : What real rock should sound like,not metal,not indie just guitar wailing proper driving rock.Seriously people I know them so Im kinda biased but they genuinely are the only band around who sound remotely original and can give you that feeling you got when you discovered your first rock band.Check them out live if you dont believe me.

Hi All,

I would be interested in your comments of my Bands Rough demos, at http://www.myspace.com/thenadaistas. I hope to post better demos (with a real drummer and eq soon)

The Nadaistas play a very laid back progressive jazz rock,

Cheers

Damo

dEvolution
Based in Maynooth
We're bastard heavy, been told we sound kinda like Mars Volta, Melvins, Rage, Neurosis, Killing Joke, Baroness, Deftones .... but I don't necessarily agree. See what you think, I reckon we're fairly daycent anyway. Heavier than news about a loved ones death and even more frantic.

Aye. Was talkin to Barry(the lead guitarist) at the Phil Lynott exhibition thingy last weekend, and he said that they were s**ttin' themselves, but that it went well and they had a blast.
