Howlin' Widow 2007 - 2011

The sound of Howlin’ Widow was inspired by the spirit and attitude of their late
60s and early 70’s influences. There is a clear heavy 70’s vibe, overdriven valve
amps, understated fuzz tones with rolling and inspired drumming pinned
together by a weighty and groove laden bass. The vocals range from clean
howling/growling to harmonies and a gruff narrative often with influences from
Ozzy, Waits, Rollins and Cornell.

Howlin’ Widow was a short lived band from Belfast, Northern Ireland formed by
guitarists Jason Hendry, Gary Spence and bassist Chris Burns in late 2007. Tony
Murray joined on drums in early 2008 and they would remain a 4-piece, finding
their sound and without gigging or recording for just over a year.

Tom Clarke announced the break-up of Bad Boat (12” also available on Freak
Flag Recordings) and was invited to sit in on Howlin’ Widow rehearsals which
led to him joining as vocalist and lyricist.

2009 Demo:
"No Trial Run", "Narcotics & Gnostics" and "The Dystopian Blues" were demo'd
at Railway Studios, Lisburn. Not long after these recordings the band made it’s
live debut and played six shows during the course of 2009; a highlight being the
support for Chicago doom legends Trouble. Howlin’ Widow was quickly
establishing itself as a band to watch within the Irish Metal and Rock scenes.

Unreleased 7" / CDEP / shows 2010:

A line-up change at the end of 2009 saw Dave Boyd joining on Bass in early 2010
and the band entered Lib Lab Studio, Belfast. Recordings of “At Peace at War”
and “Davidian Strut” had been intended for a 7" however these would be shelved
and left unreleased.

Four songs were then recorded at My First Recorder, Belfast in mid 2010. Three
of these "Painted Spell", “Mass Appeal Martyrs" and "At Peace at War" would
appear on the bands first EP while the fourth song, a re-recording of “No Trial
Run” from the 2009 demo, was left as an outtake.

2010 saw the band playing more gigs than in the previous year most notably
scoring support slots with Garcia Play Kyuss, Lord Vicar (both in Dublin
and Belfast) and to finish the year off a gig with Diamond Head. Filmed for
posterity this show would ultimately be the bands last:

Final Recordings, Hiatus then Split:

By Dec 2010 Howlin' Widow teamed up with Mudd Wallace to produce some
fresh recordings at the Culturlann Theatre. The band was in good shape for the
sessions and recorded the entire backing track for “Exorcised Accidental” live on
the first take.

“Son Shine” followed quickly and with some time in hand “Narcotics & Gnostics”
from the 2009 demo was re-recorded. Vocals were completed at Mudd's own
Homestead Studios shortly after and the completed tracks were left with Mudd
to mix while the band took advantage of a self imposed holiday.

The band regrouped in May 2011 but by this time guitarist Jason had decided to
leave. A replacement was quickly found in Neill McIlfatrick (ex- Hungers Mother) although this proved to be short lived as drummer Tony also left shortly after and the remaining members called time on Howlin’ Widow.

Formed in Maynooth, Co Kildare, Ireland during the great depression of 2010 these three musicians have only one thing in mind,creating crushingly slow,heavy riffs at ridiculous volumes through insane amounts of amplification for their own sick pleasure.

Electric Taurus formed in 2010 as a recording project by Matt and Rob before evolving into a full gigging band.
After various member changes throughout 2010/2011, the line up settled down with Mauro Frison (Alternative 4) on the drum stool.
In April 2011, Rob left the band to move to England. Over the next 4 months, Matt and Mauro kept on writing songs as a duo and came up with a totally new set of gloomier and doomier songs.
September 2011 saw James Lynch joining the band as bass player. Matt then took up vocal duties and this formation started the recording of their first E.P.
In May 2012, Electric Taurus was offered a record deal for their first album by Italian indie label Moonlight Records. The album Veneralia was recorded in July and will be released mid-October 2012.

Since forming in 2002,Derry's TRIGGERMAN have been single-minded in their mission to deliver to the world the heaviest,grooviest music possible. With the release of their new CD, BRAND NEW DAY, they have added 7 songs which put their message across in it's purest form.

After taking time out in 2009/2010 to record their lastest CD,TRIGGERMAN are ready to play these songs on stage. With their own headline shows and also having played both local and national support to the likes of FIREBIRD,ORANGE GOBLIN,MASTODON and DRAGONFORCE,TRIGGERMAN are a powerful live force.

Their appearance at GLASGOWBURY 2010 was one of the sets of the day,and was captured on film,along with the recording sessions for the upcoming movie/documentary, BRAND NEW DAY. Due for release later in 2011,the film charts the progress that the band has madeover the past 12 months,and the emotional journey that the album became.
