i'd have thought KNW and AIW would have been on same dates together as they did that split on Firefly. Well, i HOPED they would. Now I have to see HIFH twice to get to see these much superior support bands.

Re: Hell Is For Heroes Transmit Tour

I saw Alamos in Hartlepool a couple of months ago supporting The Sound Explosion. I was quite impressed with them. Thought they had some pretty stong songs, and can see why people say they are a harder/thrashy Franz.

The only critisism i can offer is that the band is a three-peice and the vocalist is taking on too much playing guitar too. He seemed to struggle through most of the set. I think he is a much better vocalist than guitarist, and maybe they would be better suited with a fourth member. This would allow the vocalist to really shine... things could really bloom for this band!

Would love to hear some studio tracks from this band!

KIDS NEAR WATER are not playing the show on the 9th. They are doing a headline date at the islington bar academy (6-9.45 £5in, supported by the best hardcore band in the UK NOVEMBER COMING FIRE, a band that will make your eyes and ears bleed CHARIOTS, and some band called THIS MOURNING AFTER). So go to it losers.

tix.

Pah, Hatherley was the downfall of Ash and you know it (:

I thought Nu-Clear sounds was the downfall of Ash.
At least she gives them sex appeal!!!
Besides, it's a welcome distraction from comedy drummer haircuts.

*ahem*

back to the topic - looks like a great tour

HIFH are without a doubt a must see band!!! They remind me of Pearl Jam circa ten and vs in vibe and wee Justin is a shit hot frontman!!!

KNW are shit hot too shame they're not playing Gloucester,Simon is a good guy and well Brian maiden is one of the best names in rock init ;~)

i think nu-clear sounds is one of ash's best albums, i don't think it deserved all the harsh criticism it got. charlotte is good on her own, but sometimes i wish it was just the three ash boys on their own so they could get back to trailer esque stuff (which probably won't happen but hey). back on the subject, hell is for heroes are rockin'. you knows it.

Nu-clear sounds = 10p Chomp Bar (bargin bin job)

HIFH = Snickers (satisfying)

Charlotte from Ash = Caramel Magnum ice-cream (!!)

mmmm.

Re: Hell Is For Heroes Transmit Tour

as if you dare criticise the chomp bar like that...
chomps are way above Ash...Ash are not worthy of any chocoloate.
