About this Event

Freeze The Atlantic



Since the band started in 2009, originally by Andy Gilmour (Hundred Reasons) & Guy Davis (Reuben), Freeze the Atlantic have seen three different vocalists and two different bassists. One would think these changes would destabilise a band?s motivation, but with version 4.0 of the band FTA are exactly where they want to be.



2012?s debut effort ?Speakeasy? was an 11 track pop-rock powerhouse, featuring many faces from the band member?s histories; and subsequently its future. It was a statement of intent for Freeze the Atlantic and, whilst critically acclaimed, was a sign that there was so much more to come. Numerous UK & Ireland tours followed, with breakthrough performances at prestigious festivals and plays by Radio 1 & Xfm further developing their sound and growing fanbase.



Now, with renewed vigour, 2015 sees the band release their second,self titled album. Writing a brand new record with a new line-up has brought fresh ideas and new elements to a refreshingly British sound.Heavier, smarter and more accomplished; it encompasses all of this bands writing abilities and represents their yearning for more

More Dangerous Animal



More Dangerous Animal formed from the ashes of Kerrang! Award Nominated Brit Rock band Brigade. Born from a desire to return... to the simplicity of five guys making music in a rehearsal room, they wanted to capture something more exciting, aggressive and challenging.



“One night on tour a band we know joked we should man up and write some riffs, which made us chortle as Brigade wasn’t shy of them. So we thought let’s do something which sounds even bigger and more intense. We asked an old school friend to join us and it was awesome to get back to basics and jam like when we first started playing together 10 years ago. Once we’d written some songs we played them to our guitar tech, asked him what he thought and he said, ‘Well…it’s less fluffy bunny, more dangerous animal’…and we knew we were onto something.



It’s been really refreshing to leave behind all the bullshit of trying to make a business out of being in a band and get back to what’s important – the songs.” (Will Simpson - co-singer & guitarist)



Like other British rock powerhouses such as Muse and Biffy Clyro, More Dangerous Animal have the impeccable ability to write titanic riffs and rock songs that balance universally appealing tunes with musical ingenuity and intricate song structures that are greatly accomplished.



Heading to Mwnci Studios in West Wales to record in March with Gethin Woolcock, who co-produced Brigade’s debut album ‘Lights’ and EP ‘Love is A Duel’. Catch them now before everyone else does.



“…formed from the ashes of previous Kerrang! Award nominees Brigade, hammer fiercely through some wonderfully gnarly and intricate riffs, demonstrating definite future potential.” http://www.theedgesusu.co.uk





“The ex-Brigade lads played their debut show for us opening the Freeze The Atlantic show in May and blew everyone away. No one knew what to expect and they arrived with a truck tonne of riffs and charmed us all.” Brain Wave Promotions
