Streetpunk/Rockabilly žur!!!
DEADLINE:
DeadlinePeople Like You Records are proud to present Deadline which features what are probably the best female vocals to be found in Punk Rock! Period! It’s hard to find a rival to Liz’s powerfully warm, spine-tingling vocal lines. Multi layered harmonies, melodies to die for and one hit after another. This is the real deal!
Deadline exploded onto the London Punk scene in 2001 and haven’t looked back since. They played their first gig less than 4 years ago. Yet so much has happened since!
With 4 European tours, 1 American tour, countless UK gigs, 2 full length albums released worldwide, 2 singles, 2 split albums and numerous contributions to various compilations under their belt, they are probably the hardest working band in the scene right now and have achieved more in a few years than a lot of bands do in a lifetime. Their previous albums have received rave reviews from both underground fanzines and more ‘mainstream’ magazines in the UK, Europe and even the USA.
Deadline are an experienced live act and they have gained a reputation for their excellent live performances! They have played from small pub backrooms to crowds of thousands, from New York to Pragues, from Marseilles to Berlin, they know the roads like the back of their hands and have gained an established following.
Deadline have been invited to play with some bigger names on the scene including RANCID, LARS FREDERIKSEN, DROPKICK MURPHYS & THE DISTILLERS to name but a few and swelling numbers at their own headline shows proves they were a hit!
Deadline sold out the GARAGE – London Highbury – for their new album launch party on February 12th 2005.
To quote Tim Brooks from Maximum R’n’R, Deadline reminded me of when I first heard Punk Rock and my life changed forever. Make sure you catch’em live when they play a town near you in 2006!
EIGHTBOMB:
EightBombEightBomb was formed for a one time only gig in Novo Mesto when it turned out that the band that was booked couldn’t make it. Frontman Jure had a gig with his other band “Crybaby”, but found himself suddenly short of a bass player and a guitarist. He decided to call Ales, then doublebass player of the “Lucky Cupids” and a Dutch guy he’d recently met (that was living in Ljubljana) that was also playing slapbass in yet another rockabilly band, “Secondhand Heroes” and used to play in Amsterdam band “Hi-Dramatic”. He knew that Loz was also a guitarist (and was looking for a band to play guitar in) and he figured maybe he could do the gig with them. Unfortunately Crybaby’s drummer didn’t feel like it, so the drummerless trio gathered in Ales’ kitchen and started playing all the covers that they knew. After 3 songs the guys looked at each other and knew that this gig was gonna be a special one. This was rockabilly, but with Loz’s driving guitar it was gonna be a little different then Crybaby’s or the ‘Cupids’ style. They practised two or three times, packed up their small amp’s and played a wild and fabulous gig, to the amazement of the audience that consisted mainly of friends and fellow rockabillies and swingers. After this gig they got drunk and started planning their next move, as it was clear that a new band had arrived. It was decide to try and find a drummer and to stop playing all the covers as quickly as possible (as they were mostly Crybaby’s repertoire) and EightBomb was born… More small gigs followed and for three of the bigger ones The Dado (guitarist of surfband The Bitch Boys) agreed to play the drums. Eightbomb played with great succes in Slovenia, most notably in Metelkova’s Gromke club and on Wheelsmania, a custum/oldtimer carshow, but the hunt for a regular drummer continued. One was found in another guitarist, Davor. EightBomb started to practise very seriously and within a couple of months recorded and released an EPCD called “Perfect Picture” with 5 original songs. A presentation gig in Ljubljana’s Ortobar proved that there was a place for hardhitting dark neo-rockabilly as the EP was almost sold out right there and then. Unlike Crybaby and The Lucky Cupids, EightBomb doesn’t play 50’s rockabilly, but is powered by influences that range from punk al the way back to jazz. Jure’s voice can lay down a small and smooth jazzy vocal (Tinbox Blues) but will also belt out that he’s ‘feeling viscious’ and snarl, claw, rip and tear his way through the lyrics which makes it easier for Loz, since he contributes most of the songs and lyrics. Currently the band is writing a lot of songs, picking a choice cover here and there, practising as much as possible with a new drummer Damir Iglicar (The Bitch Boys), planning to record a full lenght cd (hopefully early ’06) and playing all the gigs they can.
