Feature: Slam Dunk Festival 2010 Preview - Imperial Clothing Stage

Imperial Clothing Stage
Words by Liam McGarry

My Passion
A crazy a couple of years for Hertfordshire quartet My Passion shows no sign of slowing down. The band have honed their sound, concocting an electro, punk rock style, whilst blending in some devilishly poppy hooks and choruses. Backed to the hilt by a certain weekly rock magazine, the Hitchin mob have made a real name for themselves since forming from the remains of glam rock act Shard in 2005. After releasing debut Corporate Flesh Party to a good overall reception, no time has been wasted, with sophomore offering In This Machine, scheduled for release in October. Having toured with everyone from Jeffrey Star to All Time Low, My Passion may just have the cross genre appeal to make it big time, and Slam Dunk could just be a stepping stone en route.

Stage Time:
Hatfield: 9:45
Leeds: 9:30

Album Review: Flood of Red - Leaving Everything Behind

From the British alternative music hotbed of Scotland comes Flood of Red and their debut full-length ' Leaving Everything Behind'. 14 songs of melodic post-hardcore and nicely slides in with 'The Edge Of The World (Prelude)', a calm, somewhat slick intro track and is beautifully led by Jordan Spiers' soothing tongue with a slight Scottish twist.

The album then kicks into gear with tracks like 'The Harmony'; that sounds remarkably like Anthony Green-era Saosin, and 'A Place Before The End' with its subtle haunting tone that adds another element to the bands sound.

Thankfully the band avoid becoming repetitive quickly as 'Like Elephants' is well-structured at a nice, steady pace that leaves hooked. This is backed up with sweeping guitars that slide in and out subtly. Add to this Spiers' heartaching vocals and the track quickly becomes a highlight of the record.

Elsewhere 'Little Lovers' makes use of the bands slightly experimental side, with twining guitars leading up to a huge chorus; with thumping drums adding to the grand sound of the track. 'I Will Not Change' is captivating with guitar effects and smooth vocals. By this point you realise Spiers' soft Scottish tongue strongly compliments the bands robust musical approach, which on the whole leaves you satisfied.

'Losing All Balance In Fellis Point' is beautiful and haunting with soft guitars twinkling from a far, as drums pound there way through and try to distract from the track's feeling of complete bliss. Lyrically it is striking as Spiers' tells of his yearning to leave home. Whereas recent single, 'Home, Run (1997)' is strangely placed towards the albums later stages, as I feel the track would be suitable earlier as its mix of upbeat tempo and cinematic production sets the tone for the album. Nevertheless on its own it remains favourable.

Any pre-conceptions you may have of Flood of Red being just 'another British post-hardcore band' should definitely be thrown out the window, as the sextet have crafted a record that is structured well, with subtle characteristics throughout. It is a record that is layered and has a warm sound that adds character to the bands sound. In addition to this Brian McTernan's production work should especially be credited for this, along with the band together they have a record that flows nicely. Although there are a few tracks that aren't worth mentioning here, not because they are bad but because the bands ideas are, to an extent, recycled.

The downfall of the record is it's lack of variety and it's length. Flood of Red have been ambitious and they have no reason not to be. Musically and lyrically it works but for some 14 songs is a bit intimidating. However when it is played as a whole, 'Leaving Everything Behind' is a captivating records that deserves all the praise it gets.

Lower Than Atlantis Pull Out of Flood of Red Tour

Lower Than Atlantis have pulled out of their tour with Flood of Red.

Hi everyone,

Since day 1 Lower Than Atlantis have had a revolving door line up and it'll probably be like that until the end. We're once again bassplayer-less but have no intention of looking for a new member and are going 3 piece, recruiting fill ins for tours.

On that note, we're afraid that we've had to pull out of our October tour with Flood Of Red. We're really gutted about it because those dudes are good to be around but it would be impossible for us to find someone to step in with only a days notice.

Some good news to end on! We're about halfway through recording our debut album 'Far Q' and we're incredibly stoked on it and can't wait for you guys to hear!

Sorry to anyone this has affected and thanks for reading,

Lower Than Atlantis
