Since Pink Hearse formed in late 2005 they have built up a solid live reputation with high energy stage performances. They have created and moulded their own sound which relates to the Oldschool Punk of Siouxie and the Banshees and X-Ray Spex and to an extent The Dead Kennedys. The band is also reminiscent of more modern outfits such as the Horrorpops ,Distillers and The Merry Widows.

ASG

North Carolina. US
ASG is a small band with a sound that’s big in so many ways. The trio formed following the break-up of local Wrigthsville Beach punk band the Urethra Franklins when Andy Ellis (bass) and Scott Key (drums) teamed up with guitarist Jason Shi. Together they created a perfect fusion of punk and metal. “If we had to classify it… we’d just say we play loud..” raves guitarist Jason Shi commenting on their punk, metal and classic rock n’ roll sound. “We’re definitely not emo”. And all who have seen them live would surely agree to that.
