O.K seen as the last advert was about as much use as an ash-tray on a motorbike i thought i might as well try again, if at first you don't succeed and all that... So, i'll start by telling you what the bands influences are: Rancid, NOFX, bad religion, dropkick murphies, flogging molly, the refused, R.A.T.M, Millencoln, Mad Capsule Markets, Sublime, Incubus and various other artists across the musical spectrum. We are mainly influenced by punk but are looking to explore a more unique sound. Current members are Stu(Bass), Dave(Guitar), Roy(guitar) and me Jamie (Lead Vocals). We are looking for a sound individual who has a little bit of time to commit to this band. Preferably into same sorta music and smoking the reefer. Are you what wre looking for?>P.M me if your interested, or e-mail me at u01jag3@abdn.ac.uk respect, Jamie

Think the Refused meets R.A.T.M, although however the band gells is really what were looking for. Something original in the veign of the afformentioned bands. Well if your a drummer and are looking to join a band that will thrive on intensity then P.M me and i'll get in contact with you about practise arrangements, usually practise room. We have frontman, Lead Guitar and Bass. Respect, Jamie

If you work in Topman i can see his point.

Charlie's totally into his Indie, i've read interviews where he quotes loadsa bands that you wouldn't liken to busted in the slightest...but i just think, if that's the case, what a fucking sell-out knob-head

hmmm hard to decide: the anal invadors snot machine the smeg collectors minge-rats squirting puss puke eaters that about sums it up though...so many names so many vile memories...oh and the diarhoea bandits

so are tattoed hairy men

i don't care how famous somebody is, i don't want nobody penetrating my asshole...maybe i'm 'wierd' or just straight

controversial

And for your information missie you followed me around moshulu...and so did M.A.R.T! scandalous lies i tell thee

The office adress for sending stuff in is: Gaudie music, luthuli house, 50-52 college bounds, old aberdeen, AB243DS Gig/E.P review (possible interview) this week will be Small Encolsed areas E.P launch with eric ewan. If you wanna get in touch with me personally my e-mail adress is u01jag3@abdn.ac.uk or just P.M me!

Ok all you local bands who feel you don't get the press publicity you deserve, the aberdeen university student newspaper "the Gaudie" this year is going to try to dedicate at least one story a week on local bands gig/ep reviews. On the side of gigs it will be easy enough for myself to attend the gigs that everyone is hyping up, its gonna be hectic so try not to cry if your gig in your granny's garage is missed out! However, for E.Ps you really do need to send a copy to the Gaudie office with a nice wee cover letter explaining influences etc. and any other bumf you want the student community to know aboot thon band. Also if you take the trouble to send in your E.P please P.M me to arrange an interview time. Remember no publicity is bad publicity, the student community (particularly non-aberdeen based frshers) is a massive area that needs to be tapped. Think of it like there are over 200 people who know nothing about you but could be your next biggest fans. yours, Jamie(Gaudie music debt)

Linkin Park...for the simple reason that imagine the number of people who watched linkin park explode and said "if those fucking buttmunchers can make money doing that then everybody can...lets form a band and take over the world!...and then get linkin park to eat our faeces for cheesy puffs...yeah they'd like that...those fucking bitches...BITCHEEES"...goes to buy Fender...and find some friends...but not before he shaves his 6ft long beard...and has a wash cos he's been watching mtv for 5 years straight since he killed his whole family and disposed of their bodies in fred dursts garden...because bob fucking hates fred durst...and so do i...i really really do!

Is this still happening?

jus waitin for 'so tai chi' to make the journey over to the mirky depths of the granite city and i'd be as happy as mr happy on happy day in happy-land.

She was probably saying something, like 'i'm sure that girl is on the boards' or 'i think i've seen that girl at gigs i've been to'

Personally i don't agree that people should attempt to be innovative just for the sake of it. People pick up guitars, basses, drum sticks etc because they want to play music that they enjoy listening to. If people enjoy playing what stripey describes as bland mtv rock then what's the problem with that. I don't think the fact that there aren't as many innovative local acts reflects badly on the scene i think if anything its basically because there isn't a market for it. What there is a market for is the type of stuff that people are playing. If there really were loads of people crying out for cutting edge stuff then they'd get off their arses and do it themselves wouldn't they? The fact that this isn't happening shows that there really aren't that many people wanting to listen to that kind of stuff. The kind of bands that exist reflects the music that the majority want to listen to, basically because its the people that go to gigs/buy music that create the bands.
