From Embers

Manchester post-hardcore quintet From Embers are gearing up for the release of their self-titled debut EP at the end of the month. Blending both carnal ferocity and slick clean melodies, this release is composed of everything any fan of the post-hardcore genre could want. Having shared the stage in the past including Don Broco, We Are Fiction, Deaf Havana, Young Guns and more, the Mancunian outfit also have the experience and drive behind them to take things all the way in support of this release and eventually stand shoulder to shoulder beside their peers.

Pump Action Radio fall under this label, as the local four piece, energetic pop rock band have been producing music and playing shows for the last four years. In this time, they have proved their relentless enthusiasm for blasting out their ever growing collection of eccentric punk anthems tinged with pop driven fragments.

Sonny Landreth

Sonny Landreth has just released a new album. Who? Well that’s what I thought when the small blue cardboard slip case slid out of the envelope into my hand. Okay, from the blurb he is not exactly local (how far is Cornwall from Louisiana?). But this is his 11th album, and after a quick trawl of the internet it appears that this chap is one hell of a blues musician.

Weymouth Pavillion

Rise To Remain

Hourglass Promotions continues to work relentlessly to bring the previously neglected music scene of Weymouth some of the best acts on the UK circuit to date. Following bookings of the likes of Hadouken, Funeral for a Friend, InMe and various reputable smaller shows, it was the turn of UK metal uprisers, Rise To Remain to grace the brand new venue setup at Weymouth Pavilion. The sectioned off area of the Ocean Rooms makes the venue slightly bigger than the Crow’s Nest (upstairs) which was used for previous shows, along with the pleasing feature of the doors being left open to allow the sea air to flow through the room.
