FLY BY NIGHT, Warwick

“Fly By Night officially formed in October 2009.

We play a mixture of catchy pop punk and straight up rock. Our influences include You Me At Six, Blink 182, Go Radio, Mayday Parade, Brand New, Foo Fighters, and Wolf Am I. Whilst our music may not be the most technical, we enjoy what we play and have a great time playing as many shows as we can.”

There were moments.
I was slipping in and out of moments.
I was hazed by the stacks of lights that swung above me
and my eyes were forced to re-align themselves.
The air was worn out, ragged, heavy air,
it was the kind of air you found on planes;
Re-cycled and reverberating through your lungs,
the capillaries in my chest stretching in an attempt to push it round my body.
There was white noise coming from straight a head
but eventually I managed to focus and begin to read the autocue.
The message was simple.
The message was translated through years …

I’ve seen you standing on the balcony. The house is gone but you’re still there. Its raining but it not just rain.
Three feet of cable round your neck and the weather still has the last word.
Its always February when things end. Somewhere in the middle
not of winter but of words. Not everything is as it should be.
The snow goes up and the birds come down.
The water won’t come and play
The jets are flying underground.
We feel them shake beneath our feet.
Where is the war? How can they launch …

THE BLACK DOGS, Warwick

“So… What do you get when you cross an angel-faced singer with an Indian, two guys with varying amounts of afro, and a bass-playing corporate sell-out?

Turns out, not much… except for some seriously fun rock n’ roll! It sounds like what’d happen if Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd really were friends, and liked to jam on Zeppelin tunes, while living as hobos getting hung for murder, yet finding the time to drive fast cars…”

LILAC JOKE, Warwick/Reading

Lilac Joke are a conundrum. At one moment they are balladeers writing melodious acoustic contemplations, and the next they are producing party-banging-dancefloor-fillers. Most people enjoy both. Labelmates with the infamous Ctrl. and chrisnjack they are highly influenced by life, approaching it from a party perspective…

THE FANCLUB, Brunel/Warwick

“”Underdogs Music’s love affair with The Fanclub began back in May, when top Underdog Faye Hunter came to be on the panel of JD Unsigned. The Fanclub made it all the way to the finals, by which point Faye was utterly hooked on the band’s sound, and determined to be involved in seeing the Bournemouth 3 piece’s potential unveiled…”

KEITH BAXTER, Edinburgh Napier

“Well what to say except that I’m a musician from Edinburgh and I’ve been song writing for as long as I can remember. I’ve played live gigs extensively within a band dynamic but as a solo artist I’ve only played a few times (but with an willing attitude to remedy this!). I greatly appreciate any attention to my work so thanks if your listening!”

“I’ve been studying Creative Music and Technology at Brunel University (NW London) for three years, and am continuing with a Masters in Contemporary Music next year. Dubstep is a sound that I’ve been exploring alongside more experimental course related work for the last year or so. The slow tempo and brooding atmosphere lends it a weightiness that is hard to find in other genres of Electronic Dance Music…”

Hi everyone!
Yesterday I tootled across Surrey in my Clio to Bletchingley for a few hours of MATTfest 2009, a “private party” in aid of the Meningitis Research Foundation and The Children’s Trust. Having arrived safely, without causing any injuries to the hundreds of cyclists who seemed to all have chosen the same day for a nice ride, I was armed with our new B-Side Empire Flip Ultra HD, my BlackBerry and suitable autumnal attire, and was ready for some music.
Our good friend Lucy joined me. You’ll be hearing more about …
