What was supposed to be a canceled 6 band line-up, was brought back from the dead by Big Al and Phil. With the venue almost crammed to max capacity the night proved to be a huge success! The night put back together and promoted in under three days was testament to these guys promoting skills and the bands that pulled together and made the night.
Kick starting the night off was one of our rehearsing bands (and all round good eggs) Signal:fire. In their matching stage outfits, they got the crowd going and are always a great band to see live. Playing one of our favorite songs ‘Tribute to a Gunshot Bride’ which always sticks in your head – they did good. Check out their myspace here and get a copy of their demo!
Next up were Traitors pull triggers – despite a couple of technical hitches – they went on to play a blinding set. With some awesome breakdowns and tasty riffs. Its a real shame that we didn’t manage to get any photos of the band as the bar was crammed – many apologies guys! But hopefully they’ll be back so we can snap some next time. Check out their myspace here
Third on the bill were Chase the Sunset – this five piece brought a more technical progressive feel to the night. Wickedly tight as a band and very talented these guys have re-invented themselves and have done it well! Check out some photos below and make sure you get a look at their Myspace here
Fourth up were Hey! Tonight With the addition of the synth we thought we were in for the regular pop punk, but NO – these guys write catchy tunes that cross music genres. Its fun, catchy and thoroughly enjoyable. Check out their Myspace page here for a taste of their punky-anthems and some excellent reviews.
The penultimate band Monday Massacre fronted by Phil (also the co-promoter of the night) brought some massive progressive-hardcore and really got the crowd going. Stamping his authority in the crowd, Phil and gang started an awesome mosh-fest. These are a really awesome band that should be seen live and have just been signed to Blue Sugar records. Check out their Myspace page here and get hold of their EP as its great!
Last but not least were the immense Through Solace. With the release of their Album ‘The World on Standby’ they thrashed the Green Rooms with their melodic hardcore blended with early metal-core. There was a real buzz for this band and the crowd went into overdrive for them. An excellent band with a lot of promise – check them out at their Myspace site here, buy a copy of their new album and grab some merch whilst you are at it!

First night of the year for Rhys Waterworth (collectively known as Just Mosh) and a fine night he put on too! Due to the white fluffy stuff one of the touring bands had to pull out, but this didn’t dampen the spirits and a fine night was had by all.
Storm the Walls started in fine form by getting everyone up and moshing. These guys make you break out in a sweat just watching them. High energy, hardcore metal at its finest. With the basist swinging wildly and the singer circling the crowd -the band are awesome to watch live – for all you hardcore metal fans these are the ones to watch. Check them out here!
All the way from Somerset, Allure in Grace came determined to give a good show and that’s what they did. An intense band to watch live with the singer at one point abandoning the mic in favour of shouting at the top of his lungs – amazing! Intricate riffage and angry beatdowns these guys are good! Recently signed to Transcend Records check them out here!
Having travelled all the way from South End the day before and hailing from Liverpool these guys are releasing their album with intent. They finished the night on a major high, they got everyone moshing, banging heads and even crowd-surfing. They are releasing their music on the world and paving the way for bands of this genre. Brutal vocals, awesome riffs, precision drumming and forceful energy – what more do you need from a Harcore band! Check them out and get their new album ‘The Life We Have Chosen’ here!

Back in the swing of things for 2010, and our first one blasted out the Christmas cobwebs with three wicked bands!
Proper old school punkers Struck out certainly know how to thrash out some classic punk. From their look to the sound and their attituted they are a band that are sticking to the punk heritage, and doing it well! You have got to see this band – check them out on myspace (click here)
Next up were Panicbasket from the depth of the Rhondda Valleys, they describe themselves as Harcore/ Jazz/Pop – this doesn’t even begin to describe this band. Not only are they super-energetic, they have some mental songs such as Nine Eyes and an amazing stage presence. If you like something a bit different this is the band to go and see. They finished off their set with a song called Who’s the greatest Geoffrey? -Check it out on myspace here
Headlining we the spectacular Jack knife Fight who are destined for greatness this year – and you can tell they are determined to make it! Get their demo, join the groups and go see them live because they are great.

End of the noughties and what better way to see in the New Year with some local bands, lots of food and loads of drink! Although our first New Years Eve party run far from smoothly and without hitches (mentioning no names!) It was nonetheless an amazing evening thanks to the band of the night – The Secret Enemy!
Blasting through some classic punk covers such as early Iggy and the Stooges the DTeez set the night off in true punk fashion. With some amazing vocals from their leading lady Alyson, some banging drums and amazing tunes they set the bar high for the evening. Check out their myspace here!
Last but by no means least were the ever-energetic and thoroughly entertaining The Secret Enemy. With their awesome band of hardcore fans leaping and dancing like loons all night their definitely a band to catch live. To see in the new year they removed their tops, ripped through a punky rendition of Auld Lang Syne leading straight into their version of Killing in the Name of. Thanks to the guys and their fans for making it an awesome night, shame the other bands couldn’t stay around to see them in action ‘cos they were great! . There will be another chance to see The Secret Enemy at The Green Rooms on the 27th March with three other bands on the bill! Definitely check these guys out at their myspace site here!

Christmas is almost upon us and the fat man in the red suit will soon be making his appearance! The Green Rooms celebrated their first Christmas with a Christmas party and although slightly marred by a missing band the night nevertheless was a good-un !
Up first were the grunge-tastic The Ruins of Us with guitarist Josh taking the lead vocals and doing a mighty fine job (good mince pie eating effort as well there Josh!) As well as being incredibly entertaining, it was a joy to have them at the Green Rooms and we’d like them back again soon. Check out the pictures below and their myspace (click here) is worth a look (and a listen) too!
Headlining the evening was the mighty-fine Eject Pilot Eject who’s mellow indie-rock tunes were enjoyed by everyone. A super talented band that could even get a crowd going in an old peoples home. Thoroughly enjoyed by all these guys need to be checked out – we’d have them back anytime! Check out www.ejectpiloteject.com or www.myspace.com/ejectpiloteject

An interesting night for a particularly awesome line up- but a gig on a Sunday did not stop High demand, Captain Fantastic and His Three Funky Beans and The Secret Enemy playing an awesome gig!
The Secret Enemy kicked off the evening with some high-energy, punk-tastic original tunes intermingled with some fantastic covers that got everyone up and ready for action. Finishing off their set with an explosive version of Bonnie Tylers ‘I need a Hero’ they are catchy, entertaining, confident and are due to be back on new Years Eve – we are looking forward to it! Check out their myspace here
Captain Fantastic and his Three Funky Beans were true to their name – fantastic! They are an amazing band to watch live, they are not only incredibly tight as a band, perform some fantastic songs, entertained the crowd with witty banter and are very obviously a mature band that has played well together for years – the band have an awesome rapport with each other that stems not only from three of them being brothers but also all four being good friends. They have an interesting range of material and getting their EP is a must! check them out here
High Demand ended the night with a bang – a band who although they are young have a lot of talent and should be looking forward to great things in the future if they keep going at this rate! They are not only making some really interesting music but are creating a name for themselves and gaining a strong band of followers. Footstomping catchyness, a mixture of heavy, mellow, pop and everything in between. Apparently they were minus a bassist – (we didn’t notice) the band were confident and talented enough to pull this gig off. Check them out here!

Although the line-up was one band short due to a last minute cancellation – it didn’t stop the night being a good one! Athena kicked off the night with some well put-together hardcore-deathcore. They were a tight band who play well together and entertained the crowd. Check out their myspace here
Levianth finished the night spectacularly- an amazing band that can not only play some really meaty metal but are really energetic on stage and are a fantastic band to watch live. Also a nice bunch of guys – we are looking forward to getting them back again at The Green Rooms! Check out their myspace here
