I chat to Aiden, The Answer, Breed 77 and Shadows Fall. It's a quick little report, but still fun! Go check it out..

My fave band this week...

Are Californians Underminded. I had a CD of theirs a few years back, and really liked it.. but didnt really chase them/it up.. cos they were so small and just starting.. now it seems that things are taking off for them. They have got a new record out through Uprising Records... and it's really good. I stuck their song on my Myspace profile a month ago, and now the record has shown up on my desk, and the rest of it is really good too.. which is nice. Go check them out at www.myspace.com/underminded.... nice work. Metal and Hardcore styles with chuggyness (my fave).
