Braid

Braid is an American band from Urbana, Illinois that formed in 1993. After forming, the band went through several line-up changes but eventually settled on Bob Nanna on vocals and guitar, Todd Bell on bass, Chris Broach on guitar and vocals and Roy Ewing on drums. Roy was replaced in 1997 by Damon Atkinson. In 1999 Braid disbanded and went on to form Hey Mercedes with all band members minus Chris Broach (who went on to form The Firebird Band) and adding Mark Dawursk. The band reformed for a US tour in 2004 and, now that Hey Mercedes are defunct, apparently intend to tour sporadically.

Hondo Maclean

Named after an 80’s cartoon character, this Welsh quintet are a stunning example of post hardcore fury. Embodying a tasty hybrid of Slayer style intensity and Poison The Well like invention and progressiveness, they are a potent and exciting force in an era of increasingly soulless replication. And like all the best extreme bands, they know when to temper their assault with a mammoth hook or a well-placed insidious melody. They may crush you, but those chorus lines will be stuck in your head as they do it!

Zibabu

Zibabu: AKA the dyslective collective. AKA fluorescent flavor failure. AKA schizo-core. AKA powersquat ska, punk reggae, metal, grunge, rock, bossanova slickness. Yeah yeah, a whole lot of shit. It's 'cause we is part of the tv culture, slowly looking what's happening outside of the box. We're opening up to a whole new world of views and possibilities. It seems to be worse than on tv though... The voyage taken with ideals and political views collides with those of most world leaders. No one is born illegal, they're just filed as such.
