Deaf Havana and All Forgotten are joining forces and traveling the length of the country to prove that, although they may be newcomers to the Britcore pack, they certainly know how to rock.
Deaf Havana have heard every band from a rural area throw about the old cliché, "there's nothing to do where we come from, so we started this band." However, these boys guarantee none of those bands have experienced life in Norfolk. For the kids growing up there, the vast flat lands of the East coast provide no hope for inspiration.
With no particular music scene to grow up in or having a specific musical trend to inspire them, Deaf Havana make the music they want to hear. An eclectic mix of the music they love, culminating in a barrage of tasty rock riffs, a dual vocal attack and enough pop choruses to make 13 year old McFly fans blush!
All Forgotten a 5 piece rock band from Woking in Surrey found their roots quickly in the local scene. The band began to tour the country in early 2008 after establishing themselves amongst local fans.
Their high energy, perfectly executed blend of post-hardcore has already dealt them a very impressive year, completing 5 tours in the space of 9 very short months with the likes of You Me At Six, We Are The Ocean, and Forever The Sickest Kids and rounding up their year with an incredible appearance at the London Astoria date of the Taste Of Chaos Tour alongside Atreyu, As I Lay Dying and Story Of The Year, and an opening slot at the Leeds Slam Dunk festival.
There seems to be no stopping All Forgotten, and after beginning the year with a bang by supporting Escape The Fate on their UK tour, 2009 promises to see them shoot to the forefront of the UK scene. Their forthcoming EP is called 'Transitions' and it's being recorded early '09 and planned for release in time for summer.
