song is different. The lyrics written by Nick
J.Townsend are always filled with subliminal
messages, personal experiences and harsh reality,
always taking full advantage of poetic freedom.
One thing that

this is in large part due to having an above average
rhythm section. Their spine-rattling, pounding
heaviness will make an impression on you. "Savage

of 3 lead guitar players to create a crushing wall
of sound backed up by a tight and intricate rhythm
section,
Tenth Aggression
who sound like an experiment in torture on Guitar,
Bass and Drums, with a dramatic overlay of vocals,
plus the youthful but talented
Shirukume
who are like the musical equivalent of having your
face smashed in with a hammer, only with more
ambience. Also on the bill are local amazing local
trash metallers
Fury,

and heaviness of
Figures of Hate
and from Stourbridge

Host
/ BlueRADIO
The Fire Fly (54 Lowesmoor, Worcester, WR1 2SE)

Host are a
Worcester
based indie rock band with more than their fair of
funk fuelled basslines and pounding guitar riffs.
But that is not all. Add to the mix a extremely
talented vocalist, a tremendously gifted guitarist
and a heap of quality tracks, this band are worth
looking out for. Blue radio are more of a
collective of different Worcester solo artists(shane
husbands, clueless dolby, devils with clean
faces,chris marron five) and the list is growing.
The idea of the project is to get a bit of a network
of local Worcestershire bands to play their solo
sets then at the end they do a BlueRADIO song or
two as a band.
