NeverScreamNever!

A woman shrieking; and to my knowledge the husband isn't even taking the picture...
Have you ever had that moment on MSN happily chatting away about how you fought off 30 ninjas today with a frying pan? If so then more often than not a cataclysm is preempted. The person you dread pops up with a new YouTube link for you.
Don’t worry. You’re not alone.
No, it seems to be a common occurrence for me:

Originally published on July 21st 2009 one of our most popular posts was riddled with font errors, old pictures, mis-alignment and general annoyances. However, today I finally reached boiling point. After pouring a cup of Coffee I started to rejuvenate an old interview with one of today’s hottest bands….
*Bear in mind this interview was conducted last-year so not all of the information may still stand*
1. Undoubtedly the majority of rockers will have heard of My Passion by now. Yet, for those who still haven’t, what are your main goals as a band?

*This article is written from a third person point of view.*
Miss B0mb’s career began in 2004 whilst at University when, fed up with the Rock nights that were on offer in Derby, she took it upon herself to do better and she set up and managed a ‘B0mbshell’ weekly night successfully for four years. Being a big music lover, she regularly attended gigs where she met a local promoter who was involved in an Internet Radio station called Rock 247 Online. He asked her to join the Rock 247 team, which eventually became Phoenix Radio, where she is currently based. Having a totally blank canvas for every show, Miss B0mb comes up with all segments for the show, conducts all her interviews and dedicates a section of her monthly show to the promotion of unsigned artists, as these are a strong element of the Rock scene.
Reachback – Will They Shake Up Your 2010?
Feb 19th
Peppy Foursome Reachback.
“What makes us different is that we combine all different styles from rock, pop, punk and heavier music into one” explains Reachback dynamo pocket-rocket vocalist Ruby. “Also having a girl fronted band pulls us apart from the others!” Although in today’s age it’s often hard to decipher whether a female fronted band is trying to copy that Hayley Williams-esque Ruby was quick to state: ” personally Paramore have had a massive influence on me but to stay away from the cliche Hayley williams I’ve brought my own style.” True to her word Ruby can be seen sporting an Iron Maiden jumper on the image to the left, a garment that’s totally opposite to what pop-rock princess Hayley portrays herself as.
Kill Casino’s Karen – Was The Kerrang Tour A Jackpot?
Feb 17th
Guest Post by Karen - Kill Casino Vocalist.
So I’ve made it to the Roundhouse for the annual Kerrang! tour and it’s really encouraging to see so many British bands on the bill. I’ve known the My Passion guys for a few years and whether you dig what they’re doing or not, you cannot deny that they work incredibly hard. I know they’ve sacrificed a hell of a lot to get this far and it’s great to see everything coming together for them. Tonight they rock it!
Kerrang Tour 2010 – Unsigned Band View

Guest Post by Jay, bassist of Colour Me Stupid. Images taken by Jodie Cunningham.
This was my first year for the Kerrang! Tour, I went on the 30th January to Birmingham Academy, I could talk about my journey there (which was terrible by the way) as none of us had ever been to Birmingham before so the usual satellite navigational device was needed. But I digress. We were a tad late for Young Guns which I was disappointed 
about, but we did catch the last two songs which I must say were simply amazing to say the band had never really performed in this type of venue before; I was very impressed with Gustav (Vocals) who commanded the crowd brilliantly. After their set me and the guys moseyed on over to one of the ATL merch stands which I must say, were amazing; they had screens behind them detailing the line up which I thought was awesome, I’d never been to an 02 Academy before so all this was new to me.

Dear Jamie #2

Dear Jamie: The article where every social group, band and person gets the p**s taken out of them – in the nicest possible way of course!
You know, many people would think that writing articles daily would get tiresome. I’m safe to say the answer is yes, yes it does.
But it’s you little bundle of joys my readers that keep me motivated. While you’re all playing on your Xbox 300′s, and PS10′s I’m slaving away underground producing articles day in day out. However luckily I do get snippets of information from the outside world; the reason I was so accurate in naming today’s technology!
