Revoltage is proud to present Vertical Rush Tees, available in Black & white and also catch them on 2nd episode of Live n Loaded!

VERTICAL RUSH

do not adhere to your typical indie-band recipe. Take a good serving of gutsy guitar rock, blend it with intricate song arrangements, a large helping of catchy pop hooks and a pinch of tongue-in-cheek humour. Serve fresh with an intense live performance. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Vertical Rush have come a long way from their inception in 1998. Though they have experienced 10 years of lineup and stylistic changes, Vertical Rush remains true to their core passion: To make music that moves people.

Vertical Rush draw from a deep well of musical influences, ranging from classic to alternative rock, and it shows in their music. In a generation of bland imitators who scratch the surface, Vertical Rush are a much-needed voice of passion and maturity.

Whether they are playing to half a dozen people at an intimate acoustic performance, or to thousands at a rock festival and all points between, Vertical Rush never fails to give their all and deliver the goods where it matters!

Musical trends may come and go, but Vertical Rush have shown beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are here to stay. Few bands can lay claim to having as much staying power and continuous growth as Vertical Rush, and they look forward to many more years of making music that moves people.

Up next, We have A Vacant Affair. They will be featured in 2nd episode of Live n Loaded,Channel 5, Feb 3rd 8:30pm

A Vacant Affair

Evolved from genres such as alternative, emo, hardcore, metal and its variations, now comes the massive of A Vacant Affair.With well over 150, 000 plays and over 6000 friends on Myspace alone, A Vacant Affair (AVA) has certainly made a name for themselves in Singapore’s music circles. Come end 2008, this hard rocking quintet looks set to stir up the mainstream consciousness with their full length debut ‘Reasons to Leave’. Formed in 2004, AVA cut their teeth in the local scene and soon garnered buzz for their frantic live performances, steadily earning themselves more shows as they worked their way up concert rosters.

The band released their 5-track EP at Baybeats 2006; and their intense set at this acclaimed festival was the first time mainstream audiences were exposed to a band whose material balanced the uncompromising expression of underground genres together with contemporary melodic sensibilities. This pivotal performance also served to cement AVA as a band worthy of headliner billing.

Their rapidly expanding fan base was quickly recognized by the media, granting the band opportunities to work with companies such as Mediacorp(2007 New Years Eve Countdown @ Vivocity), Nokia (Flow! @ Ministry of Sound), The Esplanade(Baybeats 2006, Baybeats 2007, On the Waterfront shows), Midas Promotions(SingFest ‘08), National Library Board’s ‘Speak Good English’ campaign (School Invasion Tour 2007 & Timbre Bar shows), Lime Magazine(Lime Sonic Bang 2007) and National Youth Council ( numerous ‘Weekend Trip @ Youth Park’ gigs & *scape @ The Lab gigs).

AVA has also had the privilege to tour Malaysia (supporting Australian band Calerway), represent Singapore in the Invasia tour (featuring bands from Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia & Australia) and had the honor to be the opening act for their idols, UK post-hardcore legends Funeral For A Friend (courtesy of LAMC Productions).

On November 8th 2008, AVA will take the stage with international heavyweights As I Lay Dyingand Story of the Year, in the Singapore leg of the international Taste Of Chaos tour. This is the tour’s first presentation in Singapore and AVA will be the sole Singaporean representative featured with the popular American acts.

The band looks forward to delivering their best yet performance in a South East Asian tour as part of their album promotions, commencing early 2009

Wiley - The Godfather of Grime

Arguably the most influential musician on the UK Grime scene, WILEY has been either directly responsible for or indirectly influenced the careers of nearly every artist to come through the scene.

Whether it’s producing beats for, or nurturing younger talent like Tinchy Stryder, JME, Skepta, Doctor, Jammer and most notably Dizzee Rascal, or being involved in memorable clashes with sparring partners such as Lethal B, Kano, Durrty Goodz, Sharky Major, Bashy and Nasty Jack, Wiley has influenced a large number of artists who have gone on to make their mark in the Grime scene.

Crossing over to the mainstream and scoring a massive UK hit with the track “Wearing My Rolex”, Wiley has brought his unique Eski Beat sound to the world and cemented himself as one of the most innovative producers in British electronic music.

Force Vomit

The sordid saga that is the Vorce Fomit story started in late 1993 when four night-shift taxi drivers decided to take musical matters into their own hands and start their own band. This motley crue of treble spankers has had many line-up changes and messy misadventures since then - with one thing in common - they still can’t play their instruments properly.

Despite charming obstacles like being expected to play for free 90% of the time (and in the few instance when they do get moolah, get labelled ’sellout’ by dogmatic scenesters) and a media that tries its best to pretend ‘local music’ doesn’t exist (and in the few instance when they do get exposure, get labelled ’sellout’ by dogmatic scenesters), these style-deprived shenanigans are here to stay.
