True North (us) + Wäldchengarten (lok/Årh)
Endnu et after-dinner-show med Amerikanske True North, som spiller melodisk emo-hardcore. Udgivet på No Idea Records, som huser andre dejlige navne som Atom and His Package, Against Me og Fifth Hour Hero, for at nævne i flæng. True North kan placeres et sted imellem Lack og... Noget lidt mere melodiøst. Det amerikanske punk-magasin Maximum Rock´n´roll har kaldt True North for "...the future of hardcore..", og det ser vi ingen grund til at modstride...

Med i sækken er de næsten lokale helte Wälchengarden, som ikke er bange for at kombinere lidt noise med noget guitar...

Husk at komme tidlig, for vi stopper tidligt. Der er jo også en dag i morgen.

og lidt biografi...

"....In the summer of 1998 Ryan and Mark, after the break-up of Palatka, decided to begin writing songs with Matt who at the time was also playing in Strikeforce Diablo and Asshole Parade. Things started going well so they decided to bring in good friend and bass player Dave Diem from the band Twelve Hour Turn. Immediately a band was created and they called it True North. Song writing came easy and they soon began recording. First came a demo that was quickly followed by a full-length LP/CD on No Idea records entitled "We Speak in Code". This recording proved that they truly were a melding of influences from all their previous bands. True North played their first show in the spring of 1999 in Gainesville, Florida with Yaphet Kotto and Discount. They played several more shows before deciding to tour. Over the next couple years, True North toured the north-east and south-east extensively with bands such as the Red Scare, Orchid, Blood Brothers, Lightning Bolt and Twelve Hour Turn. In the last couple years, they have toured all of the U.S. as well with the Blood Brothers and Red Light Sting. True North has taken several breaks over their five years in existence but now are in full momentum and after having three recordings under their belts, are back in the studio recording for a new full-length and other various projects. They continue to stay true to their roots but have matured musically and vocally. They continue to travel, doing brief trips around the south-east with the Blood Brothers, Storm the Tower, Against Me!, and Army of Ponch. In the very beginning of 2004, True North will tour the U.S. again and then in March/April will tour extensively in Europe."
