Music events in Bournemouth & Poole.

Art Is Hard Records is a new independent record label based in the South West. Their first release, Brink Of The Clouds, is a compilation of local alternative and indie bands with a twist... they are releasing it as a t-shirt! The shirt comes with a download code for the compilation sewn inside.

Why are they releasing it as a t-shirt?
"We're trying to give people something they couldn't get just from downloading whilst also reflecting the fact people buy cassettes, cd's and vinyl without even listening to them so is there any real need to release music on a musical format?"

Brink Of The Clouds is £9 and available from their website.

ECHO

"The south coast town of Bournemouth is hardly what you'd call a hotbed for producing epic music, but great bands rarely appear where you'd expect and that's no different with Echo, the best band to emerge on the south music scene for years. Taking their lead from the great British bands of the past, they fuse frantic thrashing of guitars and drums with great melody and soaring vocals." - from their myspace

Echo are THE most consistently gigging - up coming - local band, in the music scene; with a jampacked schedule of shoes over the next months, including:  

 The Winchester, The Green Room, The Joiners, Athelstan Pub, The Joshua Tree.

Check their websites for more information, gigs and music.

Not Advised, a 5 piece rock band from The New Forest, Southampton.

"The kind of shout-along hooks that will ensure blowing your throat out was never more fun" - Kerrang!

"These Southampton based tykes could be giving Lostprophets or Funeral For a Friend a run for their money pretty soon. With bags full of energy, enthusiasm and a plethora of shamelessly addictive pop-punk gems in their musical arsenal, we reckon there’ll be no stopping this lot on their quest for success" - Rock Sound

"Glossy pop-punk with angst-soaked vocals so catchy they beg you to sing along" - Total Guitar

"Their huge choruses are sure to implant themselves in your brain in no time."- Big Cheese

“Watching them onstage is a punch-your-fists-up kind of sing-along experience” – Punktastic

“After seven songs they’re done, and it’s over far too quickly” - Black Velvet
