KIK
Legend has it, it took the Beatles 18 hours to record their first album. In contrast its taken Sheffield electro/rock band KIK 4 years to add the finishing touches to the debut LP 'RockScar' and finally allow their ‘baby' out of the womb and into the world to KIK the arses of their musical peers!
The time line had nothing to do with over self-indulgence or too much studio budget. Its all been about getting it right, about a package of 14 slices of contemporary rock & roll cream cake, each one worthy of the quarter decade or more its taken to bake it. Over a 100 tracks were recorded for contention for this album. Indeed there could easily be a ‘RockScar' 2, 3 or 4 before KIK need ever enter a recording studio again.
Like Led Zeppelin no single release proceeds the album, the band feeling no individual track on ‘RockScar' can define their sound exactly. So the full KIK jukebox must be experienced in its entirety for the effect to be fully appreciated.
Kerrang! Radio favourites, KIK's 'Ecstasy' and 'Crack-Whore-Barbi' have already been classed as Kerrang! Classics.
Their latest song 'Sting' is available as a free download on their Myspace page.
KIK will also be returning to playing live with a whole new show, new songs and new staging in late September 2010.
KIK are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to 'RockScar' and will have new material out sometime in 2011

Soley Mourning
Five piece band Soley Mourning formed in 2006 after each member had already gained valuable experience on the local live circuit.
Their first album Mambo County received positive reviews throughout Europe particularly in Belgium which is where Soley Mourning embarked on their first tour abroad. Since then they have continued to sell out crowds throughout Germany, Belgium, Holland and Denmark.
Their second album ‘Remove, Replace, Rewire’ continued to impress crowds and critics and managed to get the attention of industry professionals who were impressed with their live presence on stage as well as their off stage music videos which can be found on youtube. This album paved the way for Soley Mourning to be paired up with local rock veterans Magnum which led to a tour that spanned throughout Europe and increased their already growing fan base.
The release of their third album , Zaire coincides with the first showing of their music video ‘Deadmans Town’ directed by critically acclaimed directors Mathew Cusworth and Aaron Sheekey. The video puts a whole new slant on the Wild West and is perfect introduction to the New Soley Mourning sound.
