MONUMENTS ARE NEXT ON THE #SW15 LINE UP

8/8/2014

UK’s MONUMENTS bring new life to the progressive metal scene. They push the envelope with complex instrumental metal grooves and are the fourth band to be announced on the Soundwave Festival 2015 line-up.

Now with Chris Barretto (ex-Periphery, Ever Forthright) on vocals, they have forged their own path staying ahead of the pack with their mind-bendingly progressive tech-metal artisanship. From a surprise appearance on BBC Radio 1 to countless international tours with bands such as Periphery, Tesseract, Born of Osiris and Protest the Hero to name a few, MONUMENTS earned a spot at Donnington Park's historic DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL 2014 alongside Aerosmith, Avenged Sevenfold and Linkin Park.

“Monuments are stellar.” – Post Blog As

“The mosh pit exploded almost immediately and they kept the crowd jumping for the whole set.”
– The Circle Pit

“Chris Barretto’s inclusion has taken Monuments to the next level. Luckily, for us, the next level kicks ass.” – This Is Not A Scene

BUTCHER BABIES added to the SOUNDWAVE 2015 lineup

Hailing from the City Of Angels, BUTCHER BABIES offer redemption from the overplayed underground, exorcising internal demons with a visceral sound matched only in scope by their explosive stage show. BUTCHER BABIES are set to bring their high-energy live show to Australia as we welcome them as the third band added to the Soundwave Festival 2015 line-up.

Frontwomen Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey, guitarist Henry Flury, bassist Jason Klein and drummer Chris Warner juxtapose brutal, aggressive riffs with beautiful melodies that wail with anguish and a shattering stand for the message at hand.

“This band kicks ASS! The Butcher Babies are definitely a show you need to catch.” – Metal Master Kingdom

“These gals can sing and growl unlike anything else in the metal scene.” – Examiner.com

“ The Butcher Babies turn in a spirited performance, choc full of raw energy and punk spirit, that surprises and impresses in equal measure.” – ThisIsNotAScene.com

“…These ladies never fall short to engage the crowd with killer vocals and a heavy-riffed backbone from the band.” – hardrockhaven.net

The five-piece began their unstoppable journey in late 2009 and after years of the bands relentless grind, world tours, humble determination and a ferocious debut album; BUTCHER BABIES are seemingly an unrestrained force to be reckoned with.

PATENT PENDING are locked in for SOUNDWAVE 2015

PATENT PENDING is an acrobatic gang of musical misfits from Long Island, New York. With a never-say-die attitude and enough live energy to power Times Square, we are proud to announce them as the second band to be added to the Soundwave Festival 2015 line-up.

Growing in size from basements to amphitheaters, from VFW Halls to sell out headlining shows in the United Kingdom, their live shows are psychotically fun and dramatically moving. Bowling For Soup gave them an opening spot on their massive UK tour in 2012, which led the band to return for multiple headlining tours and earned them a spot on DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL with the likes of Slipknot and Iron Maiden.

“These dudes have got spunk and energy, Patent Pending are super entertaining - boy do they put on a show.” – Vulture Hound

“Patent Pending delivered a fun, energy packed, spot on show.” – Birmingham Live

“Patent Pending are a fun live act from start to finish.” – Moshville.co.uk

“Patent Pending hit the stage running jumping and didn’t stop for the entire set. With an amazing stage presence and a array of jokes, stunts and cheesy boyband style dancing, they captured the crowd and set the tone for a lively, fun evening of pop punk tunes.” – Brumlive.com

PATENT PENDING have enjoyed the success of three music videos reaching the coveted #1 spot on MTV.com, with state side rotation on MTV, MTV2, MTVu, Fuse on Demand and Scuzz TV. “Dream Seeker Of The Year” video won a Billboard Music awards trophy and afforded them the honor of delivering a ground-shaking performance of their song "Dance Til We Die" in front of a National Television audience of over 8 million home viewers.

Nagoya rockers COLDRAIN have already made their mark in becoming a household name in their home country Japan and after building their international footprint with their blistering live show, we are thrilled to announce COLDRAIN on the Soundwave Festival 2015 line-up ahead of their debut international album, The Revelation out August 8.

After already conquering Japan, COLDRAIN have set their sights on the rest of the world with their massive riffs, brutal breakdowns and their energetic, high-energy live show.

They’ve toured with metal titans Bullet For My Valentine in February/March 2014, co-headlined the completely sold out Monster Energy Outburn Tour with Crossfaith and Miss May I, then continued on to perform sets around the globe at the likes of Download Festival (UK) and Rock am Ring/Im Park (Germany) and performed at Japan’s major rock festivals including Summer Sonic, Rock In Japan, as well as Ozzfest Japan.

Word’s spreading about their awesomeness and Australia is next on their world domination list!

“…tonight proved just how brilliant they are in a live environment. COLDRAIN deliver massive riffs and even bigger choruses by the bucket load” – UK Scumscene

“It’s all systems go from the opening chugs of No Escape, and the quintet mark their London debut with 60 minutes of intense sonic battering” - Kerrang

“…the Nagoya-based quintet make it virtually impossible to simply sit still and listen.” – Rocksound
