THE LOBOTOMIES:
''Since The Lobotomies started making noise in late 2005 they have clocked up nearly 250 shows including 2 European tours, countless tours of the UK and Ireland and self-realeased a split album and 7 track ep. They have been lucky enough to share the stage with artists like:
Propagandhi, Strike Anywhere, Leftover Crack, MDC, Oi Polloi, Citizen Fish, Subhumans, Anti-Nowhere League, Arnocorps, Go It Alone, Droppin' Bombs, Only Fumes and Corpses, Axis Of, Runnin’ Riot, Cut The Reins, Officer Down...to name but a few! As well as appearing on the main stage at ‘Rebellion Festival’ in 2008(the biggest independent punk festival in the world). The past 4 years of almost constant gigging has seen the band evolve and develop their own storming sound. A sound which combines all their punk, hardcore and even thrash influences to create the unique brand of hardcore punk that appeals to the fans of the many sub-genres of punk/hardcore as well as a wide range of fans of heavy music in general.
Their energetic and entertaining live performances coupled with their work ethic and dedication to their political convictions has earned them respect in underground scenes all over Europe.
The debut full length ‘’BIG BANG HANGOVER’’ is 17 tracks of fast and furious hardcore punk bursting with anger and discontent, a dark, heavy and anthemic assault on the senses that still manages to keep its melodic side. BIG BANG HANGOVER is due for release on October 23rd, self-released with help from EHC Records. After that expect to see The Lobotomies thrash everywhere and anywhere that will let them!''

DROPPIN BOMBS(TBC):
Droppin' Bombs hail from dirty Dublin town. These 3 talented bastards have been creating their own original sound for about 5 years now. They started as a fast as fuck complex ska/punk, ska/core outfit but in recent years have evolved into one of the most progressive punk/hardcore bands this island has ever seen. With their incredibly intelligent and insightful lyrics and ferocious riffs these three grubs are ones to watch! The lads take influence from a wide range of bands which include artists like Propagandhi, Inner Terrestrials, Morning Glory, Born Against, The Restarts and Dillinger Four.

AXIS OF:
Hailing from the north coast originally but now based mostly in Belfast. Axis of combine fast, angry progressive riffs with heartfelt and thoughtful lyrics dealing with a wide range of political and environmental issues. These guys have immense song writing skills and have the ability to deliver an insanely energetic and near note perfect set every time. What more do you want!?

CUT THE REINS:
''Galway’s Cut The Reins whose mix of modern neo-crust and more accessible melodic hardcore suggests they will be a band worth keeping an ear out for. Again, thought and care has been put into structure, and while not quite as eye poppingly furious as some, the conviction in the music is evident.'' In such a short space of time this is a band that has already carved out its own awesome sound and with such a strong work ethic they are constantly winning over new fans. Their debut Album ''Man Made Dust'' has some instant hardcore classics on it, stay tuned for more anthemic, fist clenching tunes!
