HDQ have been around for a few years now and in that time have developed into one of the UK's finest live bands as well as recording some killer tunes. Not surprisingly they have been criminally ignored by the "Music Press". Anyway thanks to Golly for answering the questions so enthusiasticaly. I suggest you see this band and buy the LP Sinking. Right, here goes! BTN: HDQ take a lot of inspiration from American hardcore, what would you say if I called you the English equivilant of Dag Nasty?

Hate Mechanism was formed in 2009 by Jake Ettle-Iles (guitar), Ben Rusz (guitar) and Luke Archer (Bass). The band began writing under the influence of late 80s and early 90s metal bands such as Pantera, Slayer, Fear Factory, Exhorder etc. Hate Mechanism played their first gig on September 18th 2009 which was a huge success and got the band noticed on the Bristol Metal Underground. The band continued to gig and write for the next 3 months.
Dining In Tuscany formed in late 2005 and after an extensive writing period hit the studio to create a sonic representation of the bands intentions. A no nonsense approach to recording and an appreciation of frostbitten atmospherics as dictated by their contemporaries, laid way for the creation of the "post cards from coco lezzone". The EP is cacophonous and raw, it's production values lend themselves to that of old school "necro" black metal and would not disappoint fans of both modern heavy music and their forefathers.
