BEST OF THE SIGNED AND UNSIGNED
* * * * *
7 IN ADVANCED - 8 AT THE DOOR
They are all under one roof with different appeal. That's Gridfest'Evil, an event that showcases the best of the signed and unsigned alternatives. It starts off heavy with the likes of Vanity Beach, pure industrialists and hard-core-synth freaks. Still on the heavy, we head straight into cult glam with Slipping Stitches, which is then followed by gloomy synth pop from Viola on If Society. We chill out mid-way with the "one-man acoustic killing machine", Paul James Berry from the UK. The grand finale brings you the best British pop sensation to come out of Finland, Flannelmouth.
ABOUT VANITY BEACH
Industrial Goth
Hailing from Helsinki, Vanity Beach mix the best of Industrial and gothic sounds where screaming chants and hardcore beats verge upon the world of electronica. They are motivators of dance hence the focal track "911" found on their self-produced album called, "Night of the New". Skinny Puppy would certainly "Dig it" too.
"The battery is obviously electronic, the guitars transformed by technology..."
Liability (FRA)
"But equally as striking are the effects of "711" or the power of "The Synthetic". Vanity Beach has excelled in creating a style of music all their own, while effectively not falling into the sin of boredom."

"Melody Cruise" and "No Privacy" are two releases both produced in part by Michael Monroe and house all elements with "She's No angel" and "Every Time" being two killer hits. Energy define SS!
"...one species combining Hanoi Rocks, T.Rex and Hardcore Superstar!..."
The Rock Explosion (IT)
"Slipping Stitches produces a poppy variety of the Skandi avalanche that is taking my, by now legendary, desk by storm the last year."
(BEL)
"...a mixture of pop and hard rock typified of the Eighties. the trio has good qualities of combining the slow as well as the energetic..."

ABOUT VIOLA
Synth Pop
The reminiscent future certainly maintains the world of Viola, a Helsinki based band whose upbeat disco'ish tempo drowns itself in sadness. Melancholic yes but it is of the nu order. "Escapist Pioneers" and "Tear Candy" released on If Society fully demonstrate the catchy spirit of Viola. Be prepared to dance a way your sorrow!
"Viola combines pop melodies, electronic beats, sad sounds, bittersweet dramas and haunting melancholic atmospheres."

ABOUT PAUL JAMES BERRY
Pop Rock Acoustic (UK)
On Supermusic, PJB is a solo singer/songwriter who has an impeccable talent for simplicity and the acoustic guitar. Berry's last album 'Ginnel' utilized many electronic sounds in order to achieve a richness of emotions, which differentiates itself from "Nations", a 2004 release. Be prepared for an acoustic set from "the one man killing machine".
"Paul James Berry seems to able to put so much different emotions into even one song and a soft and tender verse can suddenly burst into an angry and frustrated chorus and vice versa."
One Chord (FIN)
"Ginnel is one trip after another with fragile and peaceful humming-ballads; such as "The Velvet Ground" where lazy electronic beat transfer us subconsciously to "Windermere" and then to a sunny roller coaster ride with "Fierce Eyes".
Desibeli (FIN)
"Paul is the Singer/Songwriter of modern times - beautiful acoustic guitars and wonderful songs, in addition to electronic sound equipment. Paul James Berry sings so sensitive and urgent..."

"Flannelmouth have hit a scene where their warm pop rock sounds just might cut the mustard...expect all hands to be on deck for their debut..."
Anemic Magazine (AUS)

Soulshine - CAN - 2004
"(What A) Comeback" uses raw, unaffected electric guitars, with some slight distortion added to a rhythm guitar, which creates the glistening, sparkling quality that marks Flannelmouth as true alt.indie masters..."
