Demented Promotions Presents:
POP PUNK STILL LIVES #2
FEATURING:
SUCH GOLD (US)
6131 Records
(http://myspace.com/suchgold)
Such Gold has had several incarnations over the years, but in January 2009 the Rochester, New York natives officially solidified their lineup. Ben Kotin (vocals), Nate Derby (guitar), Tim Heald (guitar), Devon Hubbard (bass) and Devan Bentley (drums) had finally found solid ground. Later that year, the band reaped the rewards of their tireless efforts by releasing their much-acclaimed debut EP, Stand Tall. Now, the New York five-piece is ready to showcase just how far they've come with their brand-new EP on 6131 Records, Pedestals.
Citing influences such as Saves the Day, Hot Water Music, Boys Night Out, The Progress, At the Drive-In and Propagandhi, Pedestals marries the group's love for old school pop-punk, hardcore and indie rock, without alienating the fans that have latched onto the palatable sound on their first EP. "We all listen to hardcore," Derby says. "And even though we don't really play traditional hardcore, we play at the same tempo as most of the bands in that genre and we identify with the music and most of its ideals. We are definitely a hardcore band at heart". They hit the UK and Mainland shores for the first time this February and March.

FIREWORKS (US)
Run For Cover/Triple Crown Records
(http://www.myspace.com/fireworks)
"A band as colorful and explosive as their name implies, Fireworks is a group of individuals creating a sound with enough pop quality to keep your little sisters attention, and enough edge to rid them of "guilty pleasure" status. Hailing from stereotypically suburban metro Detroit, Fireworks is comprised of five electric personalities with endless influences. Together they create a unique blend of "infectious, well-written punk with an undeniable sense of melody."
After recording a handful of demos in early 2005, Fireworks received enough motivation to begin touring relentlessly, sharing the stage with top notch national and local acts while maintaining their exuberant personalities. In March 2009 they released their first full length "All I Have to Offer is My Own Confusion" and followed that with "Bonfires" EP in December of last year. They're musical breath of fresh air consisting of six energetic anthems serving as a perfect combination of catchy pop-punk, sing-alongs and infectious hooks bound to reel in hoards of future fans. "

Demented Promotions Presents:
THE JAMES CLEAVER QUINTET (UK)
([url] http://www.myspace.com/thejcq[/url])
"The James Cleaver Quintet met at a Chris Eubank convention in Hull. It was a love of good quality profiteroles and fresh water fish (particularly Sturgeons) that brought them together. They started off as an N-Dubz cover band, playing all the hits from “Papa Can You Hear Me?” to “Better Not Waste My Time” and back again, but cranking things up a notch by throwing a Bulgarian folk twist into the mix. To reiterate, The James Cleaver Quintet must not be allowed to get in the way of the bigger question: why are we here? They enlighten our lives daily, they brought up a generation and in conclusion, The James Cleaver Quintet truly is, The James Cleaver Quintet."
Press:
'This six-track debut EP offers up a delightful and relentless party of adrenalised, nasty noise... a knockout blow that leaves you dazed and slightly confused but more than a little exhilarated and begging for a rematch'
4/5 Kerrang
'Put simply, their spazzed-out ferocity stands tall - or rather shrieks in a ball on the floor - as a klaxon of raw, screwed-up fury in these days of smoothed-off precision'

COMEBACK KID (CAN)
Victory Records
(http://www.myspace.com/comebackkid)
"Originally formed in 2000 by members of Winnipeg, Canada’s underground music scene, COMEBACK KID has amassed a catalog of four full-length international releases along with a live CD/DVD. Says vocalist Andrew Neufeld about the band’s origins: “We wanted to keep the intensity from our other bands or those we looked up to at the time, but also took influence from ‘90s skate punk and more melodic acts.” He continues: “We wanted the music to be heavy, but the vocals were meant to incorporate a bit more melody than was found in traditional hardcore. Still, I don’t think we knew how far we could go with it at the time.”
Since dropping their debut full-length, 2003’s Turn It Around, COMEBACK KID has been an undeniable staple of the hardcore community. Each subsequent release has built upon the foundation of its predecessor while continually experimenting with and incorporating new musical elements from beyond the confines of modern hardcore. Five seconds into the band’s latest release, Symptoms + Cures, though, it’s made clear that this time around, COMEBACK KID has pushed their output to a new plateau.
COMEBACK KID return to Irish shores almost three years to the date after they put on a blistering performance in the summer of 2006. This time they return to Dublin for an exclusive Irish show in Fibber Magee's and seriously, it's going to be pretty ****ing amazing."

D.R.I.
(http://www.myspace.com/dri2)
"D.R.I. (aka Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) were one of the first bands to fuse hardcore punk with thrash metal, along with Suicidal Tendencies and Corrosion of Conformity. Starting off as a speedy, straight-ahead punk band, they gradually mixed more elements of heavy metal into their sound; as they did so, their songs got longer and featured more sections and more variety in tempo. D.R.I. managed the then-rare feat of crossing over to metal audiences while retaining their skatepunk and hardcore fan bases -- they had something for all those audiences to love (or hate). Now D.R.I. come to Dublin on June 13th in The Grand Social! This is not one to miss!"

H2O (US)
Bridge 9
(http://www.myspace.com/h2ofamily)
"H2O is a band that had beginnings like any other band. No one could have guessed that a few guys and a former roadie from New York would start a band as a one-song side project and it would turn into a world-touring powerhouse. They took humble roots and worked their way to add their chapter to the long history of New York Hardcore and they would define the term “melodic hardcore” that would become so common years later. From 1996 to 2003 was unavoidable- four albums on Blackout!, Epitaph, and MCA records with over 300,000 copies sold, constant world touring with the likes of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Rancid, AFI, Pennywise, & the Used, Sick Of It All, the Misfits, 7 Seconds, and Madball, as well as runs on the Warped Tour-they established themselves as a household name and inspired countless others in their wake. In the pre-internet world of hardcore and punk, H2O was the band that blended the heavily-tattooed, unbridled rage of New York bands like the Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front, with the punk melodies of bands like the Descendents and Token Entry. It’s hard to argue that bands a decade later would take the melodic hardcore groundwork laid by H2O to wider audiences.
H2O, much like you’d expect, is hitting every corner of the globe spreading the word that H2O is undeniably back and finally playing Dublin this August 19th 2011"

Agnostic Front (US)
Nuclear Blast
(http://www.myspace.com/agnosticfront)
"Legendary Hardcore/Thrash titans, AGNOSTIC FRONT, are back with another testament to the bands flawless legacy! Recorded at the now infamous Planet Z Studios in Hadley Massachusetts by Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall), Warriors is the yet another landmark in hardcore’s history. Produced this time around by vocalist Roger Miret’s little brother, Freddy Cricien (Madball, Hazen Street), the bands message of family and unity has never come across stronger in their music. Warriors is a statement of strength in the face of adversity and few bands make a statement louder than AGNOSTIC FRONT.
In today’s civilization, people continue to suffer undergoing the grief, corruption, oppression and exploitation without a way to elude their troubles. Many have lived through these problems for ages, and the moment one tries to fight for what they believe is right, the elite brings them down and their voices are disregarded. For over a decade, AGNOSTIC FRONT has helped get these messages across to the populace to help solve these problems through socially driven music known as “hardcore.” In their latest offering, the band gives power and strength to these ignored voices. As one of the original hardcore bands that lived and breathed the problems that controlled their everyday New York City lifestyle since 1983, they have been amongst the most venerable and notorious outcasts of this hardcore movement.
These rarely confronted and always respected leaders of hardcore were established as one of the meanest-sounding bands in the emerging punk genre, helping to initiate the term "hardcore," and placing an entire uproar on the New York map by association. From the start, AGNOSTIC FRONT released a catalogue of fast and violent punk tunes consisting of distinctive and aggressive drumming, bass work, and a non-stop barrage of chaotic shouting. AGNOSTIC FRONT’s uncontrollable drumming and fuming guitars fill every minute like an onrushing storm of flailing limbs and incinerating transistors. The heavier paced balance between the energy and discipline of their earlier punk roots strikes a taut and vivid rock barrage that moshes in close formation. "It's social politics," Roger states. "The day-to-day reality of waking up, reading the newspaper, and walking around the neighborhood. It's a hard stare on why the world is still one ****ed-up place, and we tackle the very real **** that's going down: gentrification's running rampant, street justice, world destruction, working wages, and backs are still being stabbed."
Long outliving their now-legendary contemporaries like Minor Threat, SSD, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag, AGNOSTIC FRONT could easily live off their laurels, but their fight is yet over! Throughout their storied history, AGNOSTIC FRONT have been anything but a ravishing group of individuals living prosperously and content. In fact, the band is more akin to have experienced growing up in adverse streets, undergoing arduous times, serving time in prison, become inflicted with murdered friends, the list would go on perpetually. But while there are definite vestiges of the past affecting them, they manage to continue and expose the conflicts they had to undergo in a compellingly evocative approach by relating it to their views of the world today.
AGNOSTIC FRONT continues to be living embodiment that "hardcore for life" isn't an empty slogan or a musical dead end. No one is born with tattoos. No one's born hardcore. But when the ink or the music sets in, you're changed. Their latest offering reaffirms that AGNOSTIC FRONT as a band, still operates like a musical razor blade. Regardless of their history, the proof is simple: AGNOSTIC FRONT’s anthems are hard, cutting, and the remarkable music continues to broaden with every release. “We support UNITY! We despise ignorance and hatred within our scene. The only people we should be at war with is those who oppress us, not with each other. Unite! Fight the system! Not ourselves! Believe – Hardcore!”"

Bridge 9 Records
(http://www.myspace.com/polarbearclub)
"After their amazing show last year (pictured above) POLAR BEAR CLUB are coming back to Dublin on Sunday, July 17th for an All Ages show in The Pint.
When a band releases an album that is named one of the year’s essentials and “absolutely spectacular post-hardcore’ by Alternative Press, said band has a lot to live up to. That was 2008, then Polar Bear Club returned with an album that was even more groundbreaking than their last: Chasing Hamburg. Effortlessly seaming together the sounds of 90’s punk and hardcore – akin to bands like Lifetime and Hot Water Music – with a refreshingly 2000’s style and their own personal twist, this Polar Bear Club show is no doubt going to be amazing."

THE CASUALTIES (US)
Side One Dummy
(http://www.facebook.com/thecasualties)
"For the first time ever in Ireland, New York's The Casualties are coming to tear the roof off The Mercantile on July 21st. With seven albums under their collective belt and countless tours across the U.S. and Europe,−South America, Japan and Mexico−it would seem hardcore punk stalwarts The Casualties have done it all. But one shouldn’t be so quick to assume anything with these guys, who still have much more to bring to the punk-rock scene and an incredible live shows to display."

Demented Promotions Presents:
LIVING WITH LIONS (CAN)
Adeline Records
(http://www.facebook.com/livingwithlions)
"It has been a long and winding road since the band formed in 2007. From the start, there was something tangibly different about LIVING WITH LIONS – their trademark dynamics and anthem-esque melody – set them apart in the punk rock community. The sound is something exciting, fresh, and definitively theirs. They wear their influences proudly while cultivating an experience all their own.
“Holy ****” reveals a group of young musicians, songwriters and friends maturing and truly coming into their own on all levels. The album touches on all the hallmarks of good punk rock – angst, frustration, regret, longing and triumph – while staying true to the band’s definitive sound. “These songs are all about real people and situations that we’ve had to deal with,” says guitarist Chase Brenneman. “It’s something people can definitely relate to on their own level.”
2011 will be a very special year for the band supporting “Holy ****”. It took a few years, countless months on the road and a steady dose of adversity to get here, but the band has seen it through and delivered an album that, without a doubt, has been worth the wait.
LIVING WITH LIONS will play Ireland for the first time, exclusively in Dublin, on August 8th as part of their UK/Ireland Summer tour."

Demented Promotions and Ouija Presents:
STREET DOGS (US)
HellCat Records
(http://www.facebook.com/streetdogs)
"At a time when the music scene teems with mediocrity and fashion-oriented bands that are simultaneously from nowhere and of everywhere, maintaining a sense of roots, politics, and place has become the band’s calling card, a way of demonstrating to the world that they most decidedly stand for something. The Street Dogs, it is somewhat of an understatement to say, are from Boston. Mike McColgan’s name was already indelibly linked with the city, as he had already made his name as the frontman for the Dropkick Murphys, the standard-bearers of Boston punk during the late 1990s. More than anything else, Street Dogs' latest release, State of Grace, paints the picture of a band that adamantly and unapologetically has things to say. Rather than serving as the closing orations for a punk rock band, the new album serves to put the world on notice that everything up until this point has been little but prologue, and that the story of the Street Dogs begins now."

(http://www.facebook.com/kojimusic)
"Evan Thomas Weiss (Into It. Over It.) and Andrew Koji Shiraki (KOJI) have made something "ten years overdue". The two prolific songwriters, who have been longtime friends, entered Drasik Studios in Chicago, IL for seven days in the summer of 2010 and collaborated to record ten new songs (five songs each) with the help of engineer Mark Michalik (The Swellers, Fireworks, Stay Ahead Of The Weather). This split vinyl LP release, featuring a tirade of guest musicians from bands such as La Dispute, Castevet, Cloudmouth and more, was released on November 23, 2010, and was accompanied by three documentary in-studio film segments shot by The Work (thework.com), as well as new photos and other multimedia content. These songs were an effort to bring to the public a friendship that has transcended time, distance, creativity and background. These are two best friends. This is what they made together.
