Originally formed by Patrick Burley (guitar/vocals), Rowan Mayo (bass) and Josh Catling (drums) as ‘Devious Steve’ in September 2004, the band rapidly built up an enthusiastic following in the Oxon/Glos area playing their own rock tracks. In the summer of 2005 they appeared on the Riverside Stage at the Oxford Cornbury Festival and the acclaim they won there inspired them to continue developing their brand of original material, renaming as Souljacker in late 2005 with guitarist Hamish Denny on board. In 2006 they were joined by keyboard player Robbie Moore and their song writing has since gone from strength to strength. ‘Musically, each band member brings something to the party, but none of them fall into the trap of gratuitous soloing. To them the song is king, and they band together to deliver it within an inch of its life’.

Ultimate Guitar voted Souljacker Best Unsigned Band for March 2008 and named it one of their Band’s of the Year for 2008. Souljacker was also this year’s winner of the Mooncalf Battle of the Bands competition, which was entered by nearly 300 bands nationwide. The band have achieved airplay on Kerrang Radio, Rock Radio UK and Rock Radio USA. This year has seen the band nominated for two awards in the Exposure Music Awards. ‘Oracle Bones’ was nominated for Best Blues/Jazz song and the band was also nominated for Best Live Act. The band is also taking part in The Surface Unsigned 2009 and has already reached Stage 2 which takes place in May. ‘I have no doubt that Souljacker will impact heavily onto a larger musical world which is lacking good, classic rock and roll’.

The band was formed at a time of world-changing events and the emergence of the Ukrainian national consciousness. Haydamaky soon left the underground stage, but instead of merging with the Ukrainian music elite or playing for the diaspora, they went further on to gain Europe’s favour. Haydamaky’s audience grew from random passers-by in the streets of Berlin to crowds numbering in the thousands at the world’s largest music festivals such as Lowlands, Mundial, and Przystanek Woodstock. The band’s albums are released in Ukraine, England, Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia by one of the four major music labels – EMI, and WOMEX Top Label award winning EASTBLOCK, Germany. Their concert performances extend from the Black Sea to the Norwegian Sea covering Baltic and Roman-Germanic countries, bringing together the minds and ideas of people from all over the world. ” (more at Haydamaky’s official web-site

REVIEWS THE BAND HAVE RECEIVED

Comeg have some serious talent. Weighty, bombastic anthems pour out of them like tap water. ~ Backbone – 247 Magazine

These guys create not just songs but sonic landscapes – www.bandassist.co.uk

To listen to “Touched With Fire”, you would never suspect that it had been produced by an independent musician who began recording eight years ago in his Devonshire basement. Clearly the School of Home Studio paid off as each beat of the drum, strum of the guitar and thud of the bass is so crisp, George Martin himself could have produced it -

“Comeg’s songs (One Day) are hook-laden, riff-loaded, emotionally charged works that tend to get right under your skin and haunt you for ages after.” ~ Toxic Pete – Toxicpete.co.uk

” …the melodic sweetness of McCartney, the clever, edgy lyrics of Lennon, and the upfront sexuality of the Stones. All wrapped in a production style that reminds me of Jeff Lynne / ELO. What’s not to love” ~ Godsofmusic.com

“Move over U2! This is suberb……great, great pro track…one that you want to play again…and again!” ~ MusiciansTogether.com

Cleanse the unclean, purge the unholy, crush the corrupted.

With the absence of bass players, Eyeliner reformated, and the genre of their music then changed almost completely. Do, Age and Kocha agreed to distribute thoughts, hobbies, and life in a musical without a strict border against other influences. That is, music is not to be stricted to any particular genre.

Kocha and Do which has long had a digital music project earlier, and Age’s interest of industrial and electronic elements in a synthpop band format, since then formed the new eyeliner.

Songs with dark lyrics and the relationship with God in a non-religious, packed with synthesizer sounds, hard beat-sequencer and sampling distortions that accompany the sampling of two guitars.

To complete the format, the same year, Taya join to fill the synthesizer. Eyeliner with a format of four personnel Do (vocals), Kocha (guitar), Age (guitar) and Taya (synthesizer + sequencer) which are known as Konstanta, Fu Kocha, Subnet 6, and Levi until formally on 14th September 2011, the band formation changed to Do (vocal), Levi (synthesizer + sequencer) and Ozo (guitar)

“Blistering multi- layered experimental rock that incorporates so much more than your average metal band.” – Rock Sound

‘‘This is balls to the wall proper rock & roll! It’s blistering stuff and it rocks in all the right places. Makes me want to pick up my guitar and rock out” – XFM’s Eddy Temple Morris

When Gravity Fails are a London based 5 piece, formed in 2005.

Hamilton based Eightball were formed in 2005 by Paul, Andy and Ritchie. The band had many drummers but none really suited the bands unique style of music. In 2007, when Andy began a music course at college, he met drummer Tony McCauley. After introducing Tony to the rest of the band and after a jamming session, it was obvious Tony was ideal for the role as drummer. Eightball was finally complete.

With a now complete line up, Eightball began writing together as a band as well as practising the material that was already written. Working together the band produced a collection of diverse material: songs such as ‘Phone the Booth’ and ‘Devil in Disguise’ really showcase their funk style, whereas songs like ‘Change’, ‘Psychedelia’ and ‘Foothills’ display a more rock vibe. Not out of touch with their sensitive side Eightball also created beautiful ballads like ‘Blissfully Unaware’. With a set of great songs the band was ready to display their talents through live performances.

Their first gig at Ivory Blacks in Glasgow in February 8th 2008 was a roaring success and they became the talk of the Scottish music scene. The success of this first gig led to many more appearances and Eightball is now a regular on the gig circuit in Glasgow, building a loyal fan base and critical acclaim. Promotion company Original Fires describe Eightball as “dense psychedelic funk, they manage to maintain your curiosity throughout their eclectic set”. One fan describes ‘Devil & Disguise’ as “a little bit of Jimi Hendrix! I like that ! 5/5!!”

Eightball is

Paul Loughran – Keyboards/Vocals
Ritchie Streng – Lead Guitar/Vocals
Andy Mushet – Bass Guitar/Vocals
Tony McCauley – Drums/Percussion
