GIRLS ON FRONT
SKULLS'N'BONES
Punk / Hardcore

The skull n ' bones est un petit groupe formé depuis juillet 2005 . A la base il a été crée par Mathias , Allan , Mérybelle et Audrey . Ensuite est venu un deuxième guitariste , Max . Max jouant déjà dans 2 autres groupes , il était difficile pour lui de venir aux les répétitions ce qui fait qu'il a alors été remplacé par Thomas. The skull n ' bones adopte un style plutôt punk-hardcore malgré quelques nuances

L'idée de former Mad In UK apparue pendant les grandes vacances 2005, Adrien et Alice veulent monter un groupe différent de ceux qu'ils ont chacun de leurs côtés . Au départ , ils prennent Robin pour la batterie mais vu que Robin ne sait pas jouer de batterie , il deviendra le deuxième guitariste . En octobre 2005, le groupe commence donc les répètes dans la cave d'Alice sans batteur. Fin novembre 2005, suite à une recherche d'un batteur par internet, ils tombent sur Miguel qui devient directement batteur du groupe. Après 5/6 répétitions avec celui-ci, Mad in UK fait son premier concert à la Péniche Fulmar. Après quelques autres concerts , Mad In UK va enregistrer sa première démo le 18 mars 2006 au Home Drumming (www.homedrumming.net) (à écouter sur www.myspace.com/madinuk) .
Mad In UK c'est :
- Alice au chant et à la guitare
- Adrien à la basse
- Robin à la guitare
- Miguel à la batterie
Mais Mad In UK c’est surtout :
3 paires de couilles dirigée par une main délicate (sauf dans les pogos) et une mascotte nympho . Un contact avec les gens avant tout à travers la musique et par les textes , des compos au rythme rapide , le tout avec une bonne ambiance (pogos et bières compris ^^) .
This world gives us a serious Social Headache. A long time ago... Band really started in 1988 as any other band back then, recording demo tapes and never finding gigs or being able to play them. No interest in punk at this time where we were living - small cities - and almost no scene. A new demo tape in 1990 called "War & Peace" had a better impact and sold around 500 copies plus lots in other eastern countries (we'll never know how much, though). When I relocated in Limoges I found new people and the line-up moved quite a bit through the years. We had a drum machine back then, I guess Metal Urbain were too much of an influence. More tapes, a lot of comps around the world, some songs on CD comps too, and finally our first vinyl release - a live recorded split 7" with SCRAPS, a damn fine HC band of the time. There's been more changes in the band in 1997-1998 and we finally brought a drummer in the band, as well as a new male singer. The sound considerably changed. Vocals still were dual : female / male. We recorded and released a split 7" with NEGATIVE I.Q. (local mates), then a 10" called "Social Headache". Check the discography part for more info ! Lately, Marie decided to quit the band to concentrate on other activities, and Murielle is our new vocalist. Laurent is our new bass player too. We recorded a 7" which will be released by Strongly Opposed, Maloka and ourselves ! It's called "Barricades 1905" as an homage to the rioters of 1905 in our town, Limoges.
THE HELLIES
Garage / Punk / Rock

The Hellies for dummies!!!
<br><br>
Lesson 1 - Some Genetics = their prenatal / postnatal episode: A 1977 gene flow ... had its late 2004 outcome: The Hellies were born, a Trinity!
· Annie Hellie: lead vocals + guitar
· Freaky Hellie: bass + vocals
· Daffy Hellie: drums + backings.
Because of this ‘77 gene flow’ it shouldn’t surprise you that these KIDS are blessed with some RAMONES chromosomes!!! Moreover it seems that Annie Hellie and POLY STYRENE (X-RAY SPEX) must have the same ancestors since people keep telling Annie’s and Poly’s voice are very much alike, something the Hellies won’t deny off course!
<br><br>
Lesson 2 – Statistics
Lesson 2.1 – Gigography: Since 2005 the Hellies have been gigging all over Belgium, the Netherlands and in the near future Scotland and ... your country! They are truly proud to have supported some of the greatest ’77 punk rock acts around:
· L.A. finest: THE SKULLS (us - RIP),
· Punkrawk Madam Deluxe: TEXAS TERRI BOMB!!! (us),
· Penelope Houston’s: The AVENGERS (us),
amongst others: Dead Identities (uk), The Apers (hol), Total Chaos (us), Leftöver crack (us), Funeral Dress (b), the Dirty Scums (b), Groovie ghoulies (us), Bad Preachers (b), Hudson Falcons (us), Drugstop (ger), ...
<br><br>
Lesson 2.2 – Olympics: The Hellies ‘medal/metal’ collection:
· Silver metal at the Free Riders stagerally (2005)
· Gold metal at the Sample This Rock’n’roll Demo Poll (2006)
· Bronze metal at the Sjock festival: Sjowcase (2007)
<br><br>
Lesson 2.3 – Rock’n’Roll Radio:
· Radio Urgent (Gent): 30 minute live set + interview
· Radio Libertaire (Paris): our song ‘Wendy’ got some airplay on this Paris Anarchist radio station
<br><br>
Lesson 3 – Funny anecdotes:
· The longest running Belgian punk band the Dirty Scums (since 1981) wrote a song about Annie Hellie!
· You can hear Annie Hellie sing along on the new 2007 ‘War Risk 3’ (WR3 = Belgian punk band since the eighties) album ‘Reloaded’ (Song: Run)
· We once dedicated our song ‘Evil Hugo’ to a total stranger in the crowd: afterwards we found out the guy actually was named Hugo, a broccoli farmer!
· A Hellies T-shirt has been spotted overseas in San Francisco, worn buy Greg Ingraham original guitar player with The Avengers!
