ROLO TOMASSI
Rolo Tomassi are a experimental metal band from Sheffield, England. Their name is taken from the fictional character Rollo Tomasi in the film LA Confidential. The band formed in 2005 and set their local scene alight by playing a synth driven technical mix of styles and genres difficult to define in a single word.
The band self-released their first demo shortly after forming. Shortly after the band pursued a tape release via danger!laser!phaser!razor! where only 200 copies were made. After a split EP with Mirror! Mirror! the band signed to Holy Roar records after building up a reputation for a fearsome, energetic live show.
With Holy Roar the band released their self titled EP. This EP featured re-recorded songs from previous demo’s and EP’s amongst newer songs. To support this EP the band toured up and down the country numerous times, mainly supporting bigger bands such as I Was a Cub Scout and 65daysofstatic.
In June 2008, Rolo played a very well received show at Download Festival. Currently the band have signed to Hassle Records, and released their debut album, entitled ‘Hysterics’, on 22nd September 2008.
In August 2009, Rolo played at Underage Festival, which on the whole was recieved well by the audience.
On May 24th, 2010, Rolo Tomassi released their sophomore album, Cosmology, the follow up to the bands debut Hysterics. It quickly recieved positive reviews from such reviewers as the BBC. The first single from the album; Party Wounds, was released on the bands MySpace a few weeks prior to Cosmology’s release.

Gacys Threads
Gacy’s Threads are a 4 piece hardcore metal band formed in late 2007. Each member is a seasoned musician, drawn together by the urge to create an energetic, confronting and non compromising style of music that seemed to be vacant from the scene all over Ireland. Taking their main influences from artists such as Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I die and Norma Jean but planning on infusing it with each of their musical roots and influences to create something unique.
To date, the band have been constantly touring Ireland and had a short tour of Hungary and have shared the stage with such acts such as Fear Factory, Cancer Bats, Fucked Up, August Burns Red, Horse the Band, IWRESTLEDABEARONCE, Carcer City, No Consequence, Orange Goblin, Primordial and The Luchagors.

They have performed “unhinged”,”chaotic” and “exhilarating” live shows, These have included: Transvestite Dancing, Broken Guitars, Cross Dressing and now Broken Bones. So far they have released their debut EP ‘The Football Season Is Over’ which has to date received airplay on BBC Radio 1 on the ‘BBC Introducing show with Rory McConnell’, BBC Radio Ulster/Foyle on the ‘Across The Line’ show and on various local FM and internet stations.
