YBE, Mogwai, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Joy Division...Countervela - www.myspace.com/countervela - Four men with an unhealthy love for all things music got together to create some, including a member of the fabulous Stand-Up Guy. "Crunchy, dome-crushing, chugga-chugg riffs forge a destructive path into your psyche before swirling, slinky guitar motifs work their hypnotic magic" - Alternative Ulster Magazine. "By merging dark vocals with rich, soaring instrumentals that segue through heavy guitars and gently contained picking, Countervela manage to keep it engaging and tight" - Rock Sound Magazine.Triggerman - www.myspace.com/triggermanrocks - “The soundtrack to beer,” they claim - and not without substance. Deep-fried southern boogie-metal,travelling to us with Countervela all the way from Derry in Ireland.

Flash@TMB Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I first encountered Addlestones back in 1993 in The Tilted Wig. The only places that stocked it were The Wig, The Bobbin, Number 10, and The Marine in Stonehaven. It had a big following at all those places. Then in 1997 the Wig swtiched brewers and stopped getting it in, much to the relief of the barstaff, as it meant they got rid of us. We ended up booking taxis to take us to Stonehaven, until ultimately we'd puked in all of them and nobody would agree to take us home.One of the first things we did after taking on the Moorings in 2002 was to place an order for Addlestones in order to obtain a long overdue fix.Addlestones big appeal was that it was the closest thing to real scrumpy that had national distibution in casks.A couple of years ago I started searching for a way to get a genuine Somerset scrumpy shipped up to Aberdeen in casks... and that's how, after a lengthy search we finally sourced Thatchers Heritage. Heritage IS the REAL DEAL. Is only contains 1 ingredient:Cider ApplesThe yeast that naturally occurs on the apple skin ferment the apples into scrumpy. It's made entirely out of fresh whole apples. There's no added concentrate, or water, or preservative, or flavouring, or enhancers, or anything else.You get exactly the same effects as Addlestones, only much more pronounced but minus the unpleasant and unwanted side effects.Drink a couple of pints of Heritage, then switch to Addlestones and you'll see what I mean. Its just not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be trying the good stuff.I don't like the cider poops in the morning though.They hurt.These'll be fine, they just slide out on their own lubricating agent. Wait till you've been up and about 20 minutes and a strong urge will come over you. The process is so quick, clean, and painless that it's usually not necessary to wipe afterwards.

michael countervela Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I think Triggerman and Countervela will have to sample this cider. On that matter I must tell you that Triggerman truely are the soundtrack to drinking!Had a listen to Kartta, many similar influences to ourselves. K R recordings sounding great too. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
