She Ripped

Dazzy — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:42:54 +0000

She Ripped formed in 2007 and between then and 2009 released two EPs and one album either independently or through the small time Welsh label Break Ya Face Records to the acclaim of absolutely no one. They played a number of gigs in S. Wales during that time to mixed responses of cheer, disgust or requests to find a drummer. They broke up in August 2009 after a rather well attended gig in their local area. The band members then went off to do other things many of them questionable in terms of truthfulness: i.e. becoming a house music DJ in Aberystwyth, becoming a house composer and film extra notably appearing in a scene of King’s Speech, and signing on. They reformed during Christmas time ’10 during one of those drunken “I love you man!” conversations and got back to writing and recording. As each member is currently situated in a different area of Wales and the West of England, rehearsals and writing are sparse, but productive.

DISCLAIMER: She Ripped are often asked the origins of their impractical name, and often give many answers. However, let it be known that the name is not a fart joke or any form of toilet/vulgar humour, and if it’s a problem for anyone to write such a name, they can also be referred to by the far easier to spell “SHRP”.

The band have put out 2000 copies of ‘Give Me A High Five And A Hell Yeah’ their debut EP and this combined with heavy gigging and promoting and given the band a loyal fan base across the UK.

Dazzy — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 23:55:20 +0000

As many of you know our boys in Beyond Recall are through to the 2nd round of this years Red Bull Bedroom Jam. We need all of you to help us out and please vote for them at the following link: http://www.redbullbedroomjam.com/band/beyond-recall Below is a "FAQ" published by Red Bull on how to generate more buzz for the band please help out in as many ways as possible. If the guys get through this stage they will be playing this years Download, Hevy and Slam Dunk Festivals!

The BUZZ charts have been running for 3 rounds now, so we thought it was time to give you some hints on how to maximise your BUZZ. Note that all this information is available in detail in our FAQ.

Voting: The most obvious influence of the BUZZ charts is the voting on your band’s RBBJ page. Make sure your fans are voting 5 stars on your band’s RBBJ page to get your BUZZ kick started!

Facebook: As important as it is for your fans to vote 5 stars on your RBBJ profile page, it is equally as important for them to click the Facebook ‘Like’ button on your RBBJ page.

Twitter: Twitter mentions also play a part in your BUZZ chart rankings – so make sure you have connected your Twitter account to your RBBJ profile page – if you don’t have a Twitter handle, make one!

YouTube: The amount of views your video generates plays a part in how much BUZZ you get. It’s not enough to get your fans to go to your RBBJ page and vote for you, they have to watch the video too to maximize BUZZ!

MySpace: In addition to checking out your video, it’s important to get your fans to view and listen to the tracks on your MySpace, as this also helps calculate your BUZZ.

Hopefully these tips help – even outside of the competition, making sure your fans are active on all of the above platforms will help your band get the BUZZ and exposure you need to make it big!

Chasing Cadence

Dazzy — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:14:35 +0000

Chasing Cadence formed in early September 2011. Jumping head first into the studio mid-September they recorded their debut E.P. which was released early November the same year. Since then they have been gigging around the South of England (Harlow, Ipswich, St Albans, Watford, London, Bedford) Supporting acts such as Scholars, Shadows Chasing Ghosts and Hildamay.

The quintet's awesome vocal Harmonies, diverse guitar riffs, pumping bass lines and technical drum beats alongside their energetic stage presence has earned them the comparison to bands such as Funeral for a Friend, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Deaf Havana and Young Guns.

2011 has been a fantastic year for the boys in Chasing Cadence and 2012 is looking very bright too.
