Euroblast 2011 Needs You!

Jul.05, 2011

It’s now a mere three months until one of Europe’s best small metal festivals, and with all but one of the slots filled, the organisers have left it up to YOU to decide the final band on the lineup!

The ever marvellous Got-Djent? are running the show on this one, and we understand they’ve had a massive influx already for this, but they want more of you to go and vote for the bands you think deserve that last golden spot.

There’s a pretty big choice – fifty bands in all – but you’re allowed up to five picks, so go nuts for your favourites.

I’m not exactly sure who I’m voting for yet, but my home town boys Chronographs are sure to get a look in, as well as the incredibly fun Mishkin, jazzy horn-dogs RXYZYXR, and Basick boys No Consequence.

They join a bill already brimming with talent, including TesseracT, Monuments, Chimp Spanner, Textures, Vildhjarta, Aliases, Uneven Structure, and our competition patrons this week Visions. I’m not even sure if I can make it, but I’ll be making every damn effort to try. Excite!

Best of British: Kailin

Yet again we return to my home town of Worcester with the mighty Kailin. This is honestly news to me, but it was a pleasant surprise to find they are contemporaries of such Midlands greats as Mother Dirt, AZWAI and Chronographs.

They also list such other British bands as Volumes, Devil Sold His Soul, Architects and The Arusha Accord as influences: keeping it in the family – we like this!

There’s also definitely a djenty tone to them, but I can definitely hear some God Is An Astronaut-tinged soaring guitar lines in this track too:

Best of British (Isles): Hero In Error

I’m cheating a little bit with Hero In Error, as they actually hail from Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. Although not actually British, the poor bastards are stuck having to look at our ugly backsides so it’s only right that they get a bit of recognition.

They came to my attention through a recent tour with Chronographs which, although I missed, I kept a weather eye on, and was impressed by the tunes – like a cross between The Dillinger Escape Plan and the vocals of Norma Jean/The Bled.

They’ve got a seriously mighty history of support slots on tour too, having backed up the likes of Mastodon, Architects and TesseracT. Definitely worth checking out further.

It’s about time I gave these guys their due. They’re actually from my home town, so it’s a bit of a crime that I haven’t already, but you know – favouritism and all that! Still, better late than never, eh?

The guys recently belted their way around the UK with Ireland’s Hero In Error, getting up to all sorts of shenanigans I’m sure. These chaps have managed to put together quite the fanbase in a few short months, so make sure you give them your support if they’re your particular brand of tipple!
