ROUND 1 IS OVER!!! CLICK HERE FOR ROUND TWO!!

We want you to help us pick the supporting cast for THE KOREANS at our label launch party and we'll give you a pair of tickets and a copy of the single for getting involved...

The DiS team have picked our favourite demos (/small releases/unknown bands) and we're having a poll. The winner of the poll will be invited to play the show. Simple, eh?

To make things easier (and to help you discover new music, which at the end of the day, is what we're all about!) we've included links to webpages where tracks are available.

Our label launch party takes place on the day 'Machine Code' comes out, Monday July 21st @ the Spitz in East London. Headlining will be The Koreans, plus we've got some special guest dj's and alsorts of extra stuff happening.

If you'd like to suggest a band to be added to this list, please use the comments board (click here) and we may very well add your chosen band. In a fortnight, we will cut this list down to the top 10 bands (and ensure all those bands can make it). The winner, then plays the gig.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

Querelle are well worth voting for. Great lyrics, wall of noise build ups, and a great drummer.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

The Rocks are awesome live - i wouldn't like to go on after them. They'll maybe getting a bit of attention by then, as well.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

i probably shouldn't mention anyone as other than querelle incase i get bitch slapped by gyspy but distophia, san luis obispo, the edmund fitzgerald, candy sniper and you're smiling now but we'll all soon be demons are all very good and someone from DiS should contact the bands and request demos. jx

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

Distophia were pretty good at the Barfly...

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

As were My First Knife Fight a couple of months ago,
well worth sticking on the list.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

yip, they're pretty good.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

mmmm, don't think much of them.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

hum, each to their own. i've only seen them once, late last year, but i thought they were pretty decent. not tremendously original [perhaps their weakest point] but good tunes.

gonna check em out again at some point anyway, see if i feel the same.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

- DiS have had a copy of Candy Sniper's debut album 'Low Art' for months but still haven't done a review... same with the SATM 7".

thanks for recommending them though!

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

anybody heard their demo or know when its going to be online ?

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

They've got a couple of tunes on the website, but they are a bit crunchy sound wise...
If you ask them nice they'll send you a cd-r, I reckon.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

I think The Dopamine Theory should play

..............yes, i am in the band

..........and?

grrr

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

I think orko should play? http://www.orko.co.uk they are really amazing i love them to bits!

DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

The Favours, new band from Hull would go fantastically well with The Koreans, mind you I haven't seen The Koreans play that recently but when I last did I was mad about them and I'm also mad about The Favours and the two sounds would sound good together! As would many of the ones already on your list I concede. How many supports you gonna have anyway?

Thank you.
Susie

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

Ask 'em to get a demo my way, pronto! (email me for current address!)

Probably going to have one reader voted support and one staff voted support. Maybe. Haven't totally made up my mind. Might just have one support band.

Runners up will more than likely be offered other dis gigs. :)

DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

Can I sugesst post hardcore noisemeisters Silent Front

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

yer silent front are exellent why aren't they on this list thing.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

cus the spitz isn't very good for loud bands. plus no-one suggested 'em.

DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

How about orko?

Andy Q reviewed it .... http://www.drownedinsound.com/article.php?id=6878

orko.co.uk

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

Good point except for the fact that orko are bad. Really, really bad. Sorry.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

Nothing wrong with Orko, that was a good CD I reviewed. Some ropey little indie labels are talking to them as well so it would probably fit nicely...

only kidding sean ;o)

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

Thank you for that, when/where did you hear them?

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

I'm local to them, as I'm sure you are. So you should know better - kapowski, fimbria, er, ok I'm running low now, but they're much better anyways. Orko are seriously fucking bad.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

Thanx for being so constructive and open. Where was it you heard them? Come down to The Roadmender Friday 4 July and try again...

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

I heard Orko about 2 years ago and thought they were terrible but then i heard them a few months back and they blew my socks off. I think they've got sooo much better and are really starting to get people interested. I know the Northampton scene and i've noticed that fimbria and kapowski get most of the good gigs there........maybe because they're either managed by the main promoter in northanpton or work at the venue, i've seen them both a few times and find them dull. so yeah, give Orko a chance, at least they're doing it by themselves

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

yesh! ORKO is a must!

and to that person that doesn't like them, fair play... so you don't like them..... doesn't mean that you have to say they suck.... and even if you do post that (which is very immature and inconsiderate) there is no need to come back and repeat it again. if you hate them so much then why waste your time trying to inform other people of your opinions? if people don't like them then they do have the ability to find out on their own... and anyway... i think they are truely radulous....
think before you post next time.... you may think that trying to make orko look bad is rightious or whatever but really no one cares what an annominous person says and it just makes you look stupid posting words of deteste when obviously people who like the band will vote for them, and people who don't wont waste their time like you... they probably wont even open the topic.

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

orko have to play the launch party they rock so hard. i never stop listening to their tracks on my comp and i think your a fool if you dont want them atthe party

Re: DiS Label Launch Party: Help Us Pick The Bill

Come on anyone for an ear for a good indie/rock tune will know these guys fit the bill..........go on, go on, go on, go on.....ahh you know you will..........................LET THEM PLAY!!!!

Cheers, BoB xx
