In einer Zeit, in der bereits jede Nische lückenlos gefüllt scheint, durchbrechen BURNING DOWN ALASKA mit ihrem innovativen New Wave Hardcore scheinbar festgelegte Grundsätze einer Szene und schaffen es, die Grenzen eines klar abgesteckten Genres noch ein Stück weiter zu verschieben. Auf dem Debut „Values & Virtues“ präsentiert die Band traumhafte Melodien, komplexe, ausgereifte Gitarrenriffs, die man eher beim Indie vermuten würde, untermalt von tiefen Growls gepaart mit Shouts, die an Melodie und Gefühl, echtem Gesang zu jedem Zeit-punkt ebenbürtig sind. Am Anfang von BURNING DOWN ALASKA stand im Frühjahr 2012, nach Aussage der Band, „der Wunsch nach mehr, nach Wegen die noch niemand zuvor beschritten hat.“ Dass die fünf Recklinghäuser sich für diesen Plan eine prinzipiell schwierige Richtung ausgesucht haben, spricht deutlich für den kompromisslosen Ansatz der Band und für eine Furchtlosigkeit, die ei-nem wohl nur mit Anfang zwanzig zu eigen ist. Dass man aber keinerlei Probleme damit hat sich bereits von Beginn an aus dem Fenster zu lehnen und auch auf internationaler Ebene zu punkten weiß, zeigt zum einen die eindrucksvolle Gästeliste auf „Values & Virtues“, die Features von Michael McGough von BEING AS AN OCEAN und Michael Lawler zu verzeichnen hat, zum anderen werden die musikalischen und inhaltlichen Ambitionen auch durch den visuellen Out-put von BURNING DOWN ALASKA repräsentiert: So hat die Band nicht zuletzt den aufwendig in Szene gesetzten Videos einen Teil der großflächigen Aufmerksamkeit zu verdanken.
Acres are a 5 piece cathartic post hardcore band from Portsmouth, UK. After two years of relentless touring across the continent, the band have acquired a vastly loyal fan base. Lovers of emotionally fueled hardcore, atmospherically intense post rock or even lovers of anthemic melodic rock can all take something from their music. Having released 2 highly acclaimed EP's in the last 3 years, Acres are close to unleashing the next chapter for the band in the form of a much sought after debut album.
Casey are a band whose music is not defined by their image, or where they come from; how they met, or where they’ve been before now. Casey is a means of self-expression created with no underlying motive, only the wish to experience and relate. Music is their labour of love.
Debut single “Hell”, an intensely passionate composition describing the progression of grief and mourning in the wake of a failed relationship, is a flawless example of the bands commitment to producing music that is both as emotionally delicate as it is brutally relatable. Produced by Jonny Renshaw (Devil Sold His Soul, The Elijah, Rinoa) of Bandit Studios, who was enlisted to assure that the songs honest and raw aesthetic was embodied in its rich, authentic production quality, rather than a plethora of post-production effects that now seems commonplace in alternative music. “Hell” was
coupled by a beautiful one-take music video which to date has amassed more than 120,000 views; an achievement by which the band were completely overwhelmed and humbled.
Having only released one single, the success of their debut saw Casey requested for a 21 date
European tour with internationally acclaimed acts Capsize and ’68; a campaign which allowed to
promote their honest, unrefined passion for music in 8 different countries to hundreds of new fans. In
conjunction with the tour, Casey released a further two singles, “Fade” and “Teeth”, the music videos
for which have accumulated a combined total of more than 140,000 views in less than 6 months; opening doors to festivals such as Deadbolt, and the UK renowned metal and hardcore festival Ghostfest, and to interest from numerous independent label representatives.
The band are presently recording their debut album, Love Is Not Enough, at Monnow Valley Studios in Monmouth and Terra Firma Studio in Newport. The record is set for release in the first quarter of 2016.
