Chad is our resident American A&R guru/god, bringing us all the hottest, freshest sounds for us...
Since the release of their EP, ‘The 33 Sessions’ back in April 2010, Visions have stood out as one of the UK’s most...

Band name: The Sun Explodes
Location: Carlisle, UK
Genre: Prog/Alt/Metal
Links: http://www.thesunexplodes.com || http://www.facebook.com/thesunexplodes
Tell us a bit about your band – how long have you been going, why you do what you do, what you want to achieve.
We’ve been going almost 4 years in total now. The band started as a result of 2 local bands splitting up (both of which Al was in at one point) and we’ve always made it our mission to write original, creative music and enjoy the shit out of playing it live. Although we put a lot of effort and as much capital as we can into recording, live is where we feel we shine, our gigs are full of energy, sweat, blood, and many other fluids.
You have a new release coming out soon – without giving too much away tell us what listeners can expect from it.
We always try to ensure no two tracks on one of our releases sound the same. With that being said however we felt our lead single “SevenThreeOne” just about managed to represent all the elements we feel make up most of the music, that is: Frenetic techy sections, epic/large sections, lots of time signatures, lots of key changes, and some quiet bits so you don’t get too much of a headache.
After recently signing on with Possessive Management for management and booking, we plan to tour the shit out of “We Build Mountains”. We’d love to make a progression from the toilet circuit gigging wise, although we realise it’s going to take time. Maybe in 12 months we could progress to the sink circuit. (It’s not the toilet, but adjacent to it. Same room though)
Tell us a bit about what it’s like to experience your live show.
Its loud, energetic, depending on what sort of mood Dave’s in you might experience any number of things you probably wouldn’t expect to experience when you thought to yourself “hey theres a gig on tonight, I’ll go to that why not”.
We DO get described as “tight” but honestly, it doesn’t feel like that on stage, it feels like chaos. We generally take “tight” to mean: “I’m surprised you guys managed to still make a noise that sounded like a band whilst behaving like you did on stage, well done”.

How does the band prepare for a gig?
Sacrifice a virgin. Just kidding. Anyone who looks at a member of TSE instantly loses their virginity. And if you’ve lost it already it grows back, and then you lose it again. What was the question again. Oh yeah, usually what happens is Al attempts to organise everyone, Jamie attempts to unorganise everyone, Dave panics a bit, Mike and Alex play it cool.
Name 3 bands you would love to tour with and why
Oh shiiiiiit this is hard. Let’s start with:
Arcane Roots, we played with them a year or so when they were on the up, they’re creating some ace original music and they’re spot on guys. Also their engineer Chris Coulter mixed our album and did a fucking excellent job of it.
TesseracT. Because James might read this…Also they are exceptionally good and would teach us a thing or two.
Andrew WK. Because he likes to party hard.
Name a band you’d love to give a shout out to and think people should listen to (not your own band)
Our friends from Blackburn called “Falter”. If you see that name on a poster, give the doorman whatever amount of sterlings he wants and we guarantee you’ll have a good time.
It’s difficult to say, the internet/social media has been ubiquitous pretty much since the inception of the band. So it’s difficult to imagine life without it, all I can really say is it’s definitely part of our daily lives and part of the routine in terms of promotion. It’s certainly very easy to get yourself “out there” these days, but as a result of this, there is a veritable sea of mediocrity “out there”. So in order to get noticed you still have to be captaining a very big and shiny ship. These aquatic metaphors doing anything for ya?
What’s in your cd player right now?
Honestly we all listen to such different stuff it’s a really hard question. (And by hard, I mean, its 8 o clock in the morning and none of the others are out of bed yet and won’t be for hours). Some of us are really digging Mallory Knox’s new album, we love what Aliases are doing, Queen greatest hits never leaves the CD player, debut album from our friends in 22, amazing.
Ok you have a few lines to tell us why people should listen to your band. GO.
If you made it to the end of my shit interview then you surely have time to click a YouTube link and find out if we’re shit or not?! Honestly as long as your favourite band doesn’t have “bieber” or “brides” in the name you should be fine…

Born of Osiris – The Discovery
http://www.facebook.com/bornofosiris
Record Label: Sumerian Records Release Date: 22.03.11
“Born Of Osiris have constructed their strongest record yet” - Richard Cartey, Rock Sound
This dynamic extreme progressive juggernaut smashed 2011 with the release of their 3rd and most successful album to date. It was heavier but still with the infectious groove and challenging technicality that BOO fans have come to know and love. Well received by the press worldwide, the band toured the album throughout Europe with Darkest Hour and Protest the Hero and are shortly due to tour again on ‘The Discovery’ tour.

https://www.facebook.com/thehypetheory
Record Label: Small Town Records Release Date: 10.10.11
“Bubbling with sunshine, melody and above all, talent” Jennyfer J. Walker, Kerrang
The Hype Theory have had a storming year, concluding their whirlwind summer by announcing the release of their highly anticipated debut album ‘Glory Days’ which was quickly followed by a UK tour in October. The band hit the festival circuit during 2011 with appearances at Download, Sonisphere, T in the Park and many more, winning over thousands of new fans with their catchy songs and charismatic performances. The album grabbed the attention of the heavyweights of the music media including Kerrang! and NME who loved the Essex based bands unique brand of uplifting pop punk.

Visions - Home
https://www.facebook.com/VisionsUK
Record Label: Basick Records Release Date: 18.07.11
“For a band still in their early twenties there is musicianship on display here which is truly impressive”– Thrash Hits
With an eye for spotting and developing young talent, Basick Records released the debut album ‘Home’ from UK based tech metallers Visions in July this year. Keeping it all very much in the Basick family – the album was engineered by John Browne and Neema Askari of MONUMENTS and mixed by Paul Ortiz from CHIMP SPANNER. The result was a stunning debut of well-considered yet truly organic tech aimed at fans of modern metal who believe that quality in music is delivered through skill and ability. Visions then took to stages across the UK in support of Emmure and later in the year Aliases, rounding off the year with a stellar performance at Euroblast Festival in Germany.

TesseracT - One
https://www.facebook.com/tesseractband
Record Label: Century Media Release Date: 22.03.11
“One is certainly going to be in this year’s end of year polls, guaranteed” - Darren Sadler, Terrorizer
It’s be a rollercoaster year for TesseracT. Their debut album released in March via Century Media swept the board with critical acclaim heralding a new era in British progressive metal. The band experienced multiple sell out tours throughout the year in the UK, Australia and USA supporting bands such as Periphery, Protest the Hero and Between the Buried and Me and also managed to fit in their first headline UK tour and an appearance at Download Festival. Riding high on a wave of very positive reviews the band announced that singer Dan Tompkins was leaving, to be replaced almost instantly with Elliot Coleman. Unperturbed the band headed off on tour of the USA and released a stunning video for Eden, featuring new vocals from Elliot. TesseracT have proved to be a progressive titan that will not be stopped and 2012 proves to have even more in store for fans.

Mishkin – Row Away From The Rocks
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mishkin/9832875887
Record Label: Self Released Release Date: 06.06.11
“ROW AWAY FROM THE ROCKS is one of the most polished releases by an unsigned act that you are ever likely to hear” –Grumpy Rocker
Unsigned and self funded, Leeds metallers Mishkin released an EP of epic proportions in June this year with stunning artwork completed by Ralph Steadman. The EP received rave reviews across the board, aided by a cartoon video for the song ‘Good Day to Die’ which charted on the Scuzz TV airplay chart. During the summer the band entered and were shortlisted for the top ten bands in the Red Bull Bedroom Jam which won them an appearance at Hevy Fest. Fuelled by their summer success the band took off on a headline UK tour to promote the EP further and finished the year with an appearance in Kerrang! magazine.

Blotted Science – The Animation of Entomology
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blotted-Science/78922582770
Record Label: Basick Records Release Date: 28.11.11
“This is progressive music at its finest. Not just in metal. Not just in the subgenres that spiral out of it, but across the board. “ – Metal Reviews
As supergroups go, Blotted Science presents one of the most technically proficient entities out there. Featuring members of Watchtower, Spastic Ink, Cannibal Corpse and Obscura, the band are set to release their second CD ‘The Animation of Entomology’ on 28th November via Basick Records. Already receiving incredibly positive reviews globally, this instrumental project likes to experiment with writing complex pieces of music to sync up with movie sequences using 12-tone writing systems. If you like the idea of extreme progressive instrumental metal delivered with intensity and complexity but more over, inspired by bugs and horror films, then this is the release you’ve been waiting a lifetime to hear.

Red Enemy - What We Are Contained In, Is What We Are Worth
http://www.facebook.com/RedEnemy
Record Label: Self Released Release Date: 10.10.11
“Unadulterated metal served as it should be - loud and angry!” - bbc.co.uk
Having conquered their home land, Irish hardcore/tech metallers Red Enemy stormed through the metal press this year with the release of their killer debut EP, ‘What We Are Contained In, Is What We Are Worth’, on 10 October. The band spent a lot of time touring their homeland in 2011 making sure no corner of Ireland was left unturned, supporting bands such as TesseracT and more recently Parkway Drive, as well as their own highly successful headline tour followed by a UK tour.

Aliases – Safer Than Reality
https://www.facebook.com/aliasesband
Record Label: Basick Records Release Date: 15.08.11
“Safer Than Reality is a clinically-executed exercise in technique, melody and groove: the ultimate in guitar geekdom and a musical masterclass.” – Smashed Music
Aliases achieved more in their first year as a band than most achieve in a lifetime, including signing to Basick Records, having their debut gig at a large European Festival, writing, recording and releasing a debut EP and touring the UK extensively. Their debut EP ‘Safer Than Reality’ was released in August and inevitably drew comparisons to guitarist Pin’s Sikth heritage. With a Scuzz TV airplay chart position, a channel take over and a video premiere on USA site Metal Injection, the internet quickly exploded with conspiracy theory that there was a girl in the band, and she was playing a guitar (imagine the horror!). Unperturbed, Aliases EP again swept the board with glowing reviews, features and a double page spread in Metal Hammer. Finishing off the year with a UK tour in support of Textures and The Ocean, Aliases came, saw and delivered and are ready to do it all over again, but harder, in 2012.

https://www.facebook.com/listentocircles
Record Label: Basick Records Release Date: 16.05.11
“Circles manage to seemingly effortlessly strike a balance between muso-stroking technical facility and crowd-pleasing accessibility - resulting in a record that could well vault them into ‘djent’ superstar status.” – One Metal
Progressive metallers CIRCLES exploded from the depths of the Australian underground in 2011 to hit the Scuzz TV chart at no1, with two releases in the Australian iTunes chart at no1 and no5 simultaneously and the release of one of the most critically acclaimed debuts of the year with the ‘The Compass’. Features in all major UK and European magazines followed, as did a single and debut video release which was premiered on Metal Hammer. With singer Perry Kakridas likened to a modern, more progressive (is that even possible!?) Mike Patton the band enjoyed a year of positive reviews, worldwide interviews, video debuts and lots of drunken texts and phonecalls to their record label. 2012 is proving to be even bigger for the antipodeans with rumours of a summer UK/European tour in the works; however this may be delayed due to the impending apocalypse which is set to destroy up to 80% of humanity.

Betraeus – Towards The Sun
http://www.facebook.com/betraeus
Record Label: Siege of Amida Release Date: 14.11.11
“It’s great to have underground bands like Betraeus breaking through” - Kerrang! Radio
Manchester based progressive death metallers Betraeus have gone from strength to strength in 2011, developing their unique brand of melodic death metal and releasing their EP ‘Towards the Sun’ on Siege of Amida Records. Fusing brutality with beauty the EP debuted to an array of positive reviews which was the perfect end to an already blistering year. Appearing on the Pepsi Max stage at Download Festival this year and with several high profile support slots with the likes of Blaze Bailey and Beholder under their belt, the band are set to tour the UK in November and December in support of the EP.

What happened in the world of Hold Tight! PR this week - we bring you a brief look at what our clients have been up to.
Another busy week in the office for all of our clients. We’ve helped to launch a new record label, Ghost Music, we’ve been booking our touring clients with tour press all across the globe for their autumn and winter schedules and we’ve been falling heavily in love with the forthcoming release from Uneven Structure which we think will hit many of the albums of the year lists, because it geniunely is that epic. Floyd meets Meshuggah via a small cuddle from Devin T. All this and we’ve still found plenty of time to seek solace at the bottom of a barrel of Jagermeister, get some old school surfing in and also do epic shit like playing the Top Gun theme tune whilst heavily drunk at a wedding. Yeah, you heard. Here’s James HT!PR sozzled out his twang and pulling many Vai faces.

What happened in the world of Hold Tight! PR this week - we bring you a brief look at what our clients have been up to.
WOW! It’s been a week full of drama, tears, tantrums, break ups, wars and internet implosions. We kicked off the week watching the Internet rumour mill going into warp drive with the shock appearance of Elliot Coleman at TesseracT’s show in Milton Keynes, cue the Internet exploding in conspiracy theory, by Tuesday it became clear that the beautiful Dan Tompkins had left, leaving a giant hole to be filled by none other than Haunted Shores own Elliot Coleman - cue mass fan hysteria, then we watched as Metal Sucks vs Century Media vs Sumerian Records back and forth war of words erupted around the Spotify debate, meanwhile Storm troopers, rebels, Klingons, and the fashion police hunted rubber faced dicator Muammar al-Gaddafi in Libya - it’s all going on. Luckily we were face down in the Dillinger Escape Plan and Scale the Summit, busy working on tour press for all our Autumn tours, booking some fab new clients and generally figuring out that if you mix ginger beer with a cosmopolitan cocktail it becomes the stuff that legends are made of. So internet, chill out a bit, it’ll be ok. It’s Friday, chow down on our bands, get a ginger cosmo on the go and just relax.
