nhoj Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Right what 5 bands local and signed bands should we watch out for?And remember its only in your viewLocal1) Enrapture2) Debassed3) Abdysma4) Tears of Grace5) Seventh CircleBTW look out for Which Way Now - obviously its my band but we have a new E.P coming soon! Signed1) Strapping Young Lad2) Poets of the Fall3) Mendeed4) Bullets and Octane5) AnemicCheersJohn - Which Way Now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 BTW look out for Which Way Now - obviously its my band but we have a new E.P coming soon! Why does every local band call a demo an EP these days? It's still just their friends and a few others who buy it and they'd probably still buy it if it was a demo. Or is it so they can add a couple of quid to the price?BTW I'm not having a go, this is just something I've been wondering about for a while.

Sam 45 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 We had an "EP" back in 2005. We spent 16 minutes recording the instruments, it costs us 56 pounds and we sold over 40 at 3 quid a pop.I feel guilty for everyone of our friends who bought this.
