Nova-Caine’s Close Encounter with AOF’s Summer Tour

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

So what do you do when you are an unsigned, independent band and the economy is in the toilet, the music industry has more or less gone to the wall, you haven’t played a show outside the local bar for over 12 months and the rest of the band are pulling full time jobs just to make ends meet?

Well, that all depends on your drive and belief in what you do. Some bands fold or settle down into being hobby musicians, others like our friends in Army of Freshmen merely book an overseas tour, put themselves into debt to get here and set out to kick some serious arse including rocking a stage at Sonisphere festival.

After an 18 month absence from these shores, Ventura’s favourite 6 piece returned to the UK, unsure of what sort of reaction they would get. With 4 club shows on the agenda, plus a slot on one of the lower stages at Sonisphere, it was always going to be a flying visit but could it revitalise a band that had been more or less dormant for over a year?

Nova was represented at the first and the final show and could bore you to death with tales of rock and beer, but this isn’t trying to be a review (far too biased for that), so we have managed to grab hold of Lead Singer Chris Jay to fill in the gaps on what this tour meant to the band

The first show was played after a gruelling 24 hour journey from Californian sunshine to typical Yorkshire drizzle in Leeds, but the welcome could not have been warmer; well, you know what they say about up north!

“It wasn’t hard to decide to come back to play in the UK, paying for it was the hard part! We’d be over every month if money wasn’t an issue.

We were bowled over by the reaction at the first show in Leeds. We truly didn’t know what to expect; to have so many people know the words almost made me a little teary eyed….hell, Aaron almost passed out onstage, supposedly from heat exhaustion but….we have our doubts.

It was great to see a lot of folks knew the new songs from the Close Encounter EP. We’re talking about a video for one of the tunes; we just don’t know what one, yet!

So all in all it was pretty damn punk rock. Those indie venues like the one in Leeds – it can get pretty insane!”

And after a raucous evening, topped off by karaoke enjoyed by all in the venue bar until the early hours, the guys set off on the drive south to Knebworth and the Sonisphere Festival.

Now the guys have played festivals before, Download here in the UK twice, Warped Tour in the US and just last year, 2 in China of all places; but Knebworth is the iconic venue of all things rock for the past 35 years: The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Oasis, Robbie Williams… over 100 major artists have played Knebworth festivals since their inception in 1974, in front of over two million fans.

So kind of a big deal really, but how does a relatively unknown non metal band from Cali get the gig?

“All props go to our agent and close friend, Ed Sellers. He really pushed to make it happen.

Festivals are always fun. This was different in that it was a metal festival all the way but that made the reaction [..we received] so much better in a way”

What it meant was going back to the old days of the Warped tour and having to walk the crowd handing out flyers before show time, to try and prise an audience away from The Cult no less. A daunting step?

Oh I like that. Great way to meet people. Keeps you humble. It’s cool when they actually show up- it’s like… I know you from the sausage stand!

Well all that time at the sausage stand seems to have paid off and the band defied expectation and filled out their tent for a raucous 30 minute set, which by all accounts has drawn in a good few new fans as well as 3K’s from Kerrang. And yes, there was still time to chill out and savour the full festival experience and catch a few legends whilst going about it.

Well Rammstein is something everyone needs to see once. Maiden, of course, out of principle. Was cool to see Madina Lake do their thing- didn’t catch as many [bands] as we’d like- too much to do at those things but some of the guys got their pic with Brian Posehn which they were stoked about. (American Comedian)

Flying high after Soni, but no time to rest on their laurels, the band had dates to play in Southampton and then London before heading up to Birmingham for the final stop on this mini trip around the UK.

Wandering into Academy 3 just 45 minutes after doors opened, there was already over 150 people in the venue, most of who seemed to be hitting the merch table with vengeance and a rapid turnover of shirts and cds was taking place.

And then Aaron, Chris, Dan, Kai, Mike and Owen hit the stage for their last show on UK soil and a great review can be found here:  http://the-music-review.tumblr.com/ (Review credit to Catie Martin)

But Chris’ reaction to the show, which, by request pulled some real old school tunes from the back catalogue, sums it up nicely:

Fuck yeah.

Yeah it’s always interesting to see what songs mean alot to people. Some we figured but there were some surprises for sure. “It Never Rains In Los Angeles” and “Some Happy Ending” took us by surprise.

For a band that has always seemed to be having as much fun onstage as those in the crowd, this tour the ‘fun’ level seemed to have been ramped up another notch.

I think it was. I think we were just so happy to be over there again- the positive vibes were through the roof.

And so, despite financial stress and hassles in getting over here, a tour that could have been seen by cynics as a retrograde step – no tour bus, sleeping on floors, loading their own van appears to have been a resounding success.

We’ve never forgotten what it’s all about: Music, friends, family.

Judging by the reaction at the shows that Nova witnessed, Army of Freshmen will be more than welcome to revisit Blighty anytime soon and if the grins of the band, after the last show are anything to go by, they will be considering selling their own Grandparents to get back.

Razorbax release debut single Better Place 3rd August in support Polly Tommey and The Autism Trust

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

The band recently headlined The Punks Play for Autism gig that received the supported of notable punk acts such as Green Day, Frank Turner, Against Me and Billy Talent as well as the single receiving the backing of indie pop singer/songwriter Kate Nash.  Better Place to be released on the 3rd August 2010 …. Check out the video here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihia1EOFWSY

The Razorbax announce the release of their debut single ‘Better Place’ in support of Polly Tommey’s Autism Trust.  The four piece Modern Punk group from Wolverhampton have committed all proceeds from the sale of their debut single to The Autism Trust to help build centres of excellence for people who have Autism and their families. The band and their management are committed to raising Autism awareness and funds to help the 6 million people whose lives are affected by Autism in the UK alone, evidenced by the startling success of the recent Punks Play for Autism gig at London’s Premiere Live music venue The Luminaire Club, where fans came from the USA, Canada, Australia and across Europe to support the cause.  Band front-man Leigh Bucknall said that “the band we’re hoping that by releasing the single and getting local and national coverage they can help raise awareness about Autism and more importantly funds,  that will enable The Autism trust fulfil their commitment to aid the development of a network of consistently outstanding and innovative outreach centres for autism to provide help and support to individuals with autism but also to their families and those involved with their care, support, ongoing education and development.”

Punks Play for Autism – The Razorbax To Headline London Show

PROMOTION T-SHIRTS AVAILABLE FROM : http://www.nova-caine.com/punks-play-for-autism-t-shirt.html

The Razorbax will headline The Punks Play for Autism Concert at the Luminaire Club, the UK’s best Live Music venue, in Kilburn High Road, London.    The concert is in support of  The Autism Trust and aims to highlight autism issues.  With thousands of punks descending on London on the weekend of the 18th June to attend the Wembley Stadium show that punk legends Green Day are headlining, Nova-Caine Music and The Razorbax, wanted to take the opportunity to raise autism awareness by throwing a benefit concert for The Autism Trust, an excellent organisation we feel exhibits a punk attitude to getting autism into the spotlight and lobbying the Government to take action to help those within the autistic spectrum  and their families.  The founder of The Autism Trust, Polly Tommey, has challenged the Governments’ thinking with some radical, innovative and dare we say punkish campaigns. That is why we at Nova-Caine Music and The Razorbax are delighted to support The Trust and their work.

A ‘Better Place’

In addition to the benefit concert The Razorbax, will be releasing their debut single Better Place with all proceeds going to The Autism Trust.  Release date is to be confirmed but the video for the song can now be seen below.

“We are delighted to be associated with The Autism Trust” said front-man Leigh Bucknall, “We have fans that are autistic and these same fans helped spread the word when our album was released on the 15th March, which drove it up the download charts on Amazon”. When asked to explain further Leigh added “In addition to some of our fans, our Management team have nephews that are autistic and when we sat and talked after a gig one night it became a no-brainer, and from there it sort of took on a life of its own”.

“Our Management team contacted The Autism Trust who expressed an interest in what we were trying to do, so once we had the charity support the team started looking for suitable venues and the support acts.”

“It’s an even bigger buzz knowing that The Write Offs have a member in the band who has Asperger Syndrome (part of the autistic spectrum) and that they’ll be sharing the stage with us, it’s sort of the cream on the top for us, and breaks down stereo-types and starts a conversation with a message that maybe we think we’re aware of autism but really we just know its name. Hopefully it will add to the interest and awareness surrounding autism and encourage young people to find out more.”

At Nova-Caine Music the job is a simple one, when you have great music and a great cause; all we have to do is join the dots and spread the message, autism isn’t just about the ‘Rain Man’ image of a high functioning ‘oddball’ or about a non-communicative child. It affects many different people in many different ways.

What we wanted to do with the aid of The Autism Trust is raise awareness that Autism is a highly variable disorder, and the effects on the individual and the families are equally varied.

The question may be – so why “Punks Play for Autism”? Well frankly, it was things like the common misconception that autistic children prefer being alone, when the reality is often very different; whilst making and maintaining friendships maybe difficult, it’s the quality not quantity of friends that dictate how lonely they feel.  Not to trivialise autism in any way we could see similarities when a lack of information and awareness lead to  the situation of front-man Leigh Bucknall being told at the Job Centre, that ‘his’ sort (punks) don’t make friends or mix well with others, which of course couldn’t be further from reality.

We think this lack of understanding and awareness is something that will resonate with a lot of the fans of The Razorbax and of punk music. We have the feeling that if we can educate and inform the up and coming generation then maybe like we’ve seen with The Autism Trust, those young and aware voters will also force the issue of Autism support and care up the political agenda.

Razorbax Album Launch ‘Something To Believe In’

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

So here it is,  months of hard work from all sides is about to pay off (and not just in a monetary way for the band). When we started this venture we had many ideas as to what Nova-Caine Music would be about, it was revolutionised by one band, a band with guts, with heart, determination and passion for everything they do.

The Razorbax are an inspiring bunch of young men, who put everything into their music, they leave you feeling breathless when you see them live and they leave your ears and mind stunned with their message.

Tonight our site goes live for the first time and we have dedicated our entire store (yeah we know there’s not a lot on it right now, give us a chance) ;) To The Razorbax, their self-funded debut album ‘Something To Believe In’ is a 12 track wonder, a  journey into their hearts and minds, they leave nothing hidden, everything is laid bare before us, whether that be the struggles of the unemployed, drug/alcohol addiction, love, lust, heartbreak, life and death. The songs range from melodic epics (Don’t, Couldn’t Wait) to 2 minute rage filled snarls (Wake Up! Wake Up!, Stupid Boy!) and an incredibly radio friendly acoustic ballad (Better Place).

We just wanted to say good luck to the boys, and thank them for putting their music in our hands….

Part 2 of our Exclusive Interview with Razorbax Frontman Leigh Bucknall

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Yesterday we spoke to Leigh in depth about the history of The Razorbax, his childhood and the future. Today he takes us through a track by track breakdown of the Album…

What is the inspiration behind the album? Tell us about it!

The only way I have ever been able to describe the album is by doing a list and saying what each song is about so here it is.

Wake Up! Wake Up!

It’s about that moment when you realise that if you want to do something with your life, you’ve got to make it happen yourself. You haven’t got time to just wait around for it. There are a lot of personal lyrics in the verses of that song but the chorus is just a blatant kick in the face for everybody I guess…

Something To Believe In

It’s about pressure and trying to find the time to find something real that’s going to help you in life. Trying to fit it in between working those dead end jobs to pay off your debts and keep everyone happy.

You find yourself asking ‘’am I really going to do this for the rest of my life? What happened to my dreams?’’

Little Needle

Little Needle is about cracking under that kind of pressure. A lot of my friends who I used to skate with were under that kind of pressure and eventually they started injecting themselves so that they ‘’didn’t have to feel the pressure’’…  That just seems stupid to me. I wrote that song when I was 16 but it still feels relevant to sing about that kind of thing. It’s an anti drug song. I am anti drugs… music is my drug…

Stupid Boy!

This is about the kids who fall in with the wrong crowds. The ones whose Daddy’s are asking ‘’what the fuck are you going to do with your life you slob!?’’ and while their reply is ‘’I don’t know and I don’t care’’ because it’s cool to rebel, really inside they are scared to death because they have no idea.

Waste Of Time

This is about when you get that 9-5 job but you don’t really want to be doing it. All work no play makes living a waste of time…

Better Place

Better Place is a love song… I suppose it’s when you meet that person who makes you feel that no matter how much of a mess you are in, everything is going to be alright. You fall so in love that when that person is gone you feel like you need them back to keep you sane. Or insane…

Rip Me Apart

This song is about being addicted to someone or something and though you try to give it up because you know it’s bad, you just can’t do it.

I Liked You Better

Bitchy song! It’s like, you finally feel like everything is alright, you’re out on the town having a few drinks and then out of nowhere BAM! You are completely drunk, you say a few bad things and your girlfriend leaves you and tells you all the things that you don’t want to hear, about how pathetic you are and how they never really cared about you etc. The lyrics are pretty self explanatory.

Couldn’t Wait

This is the hangover. The level headed response to the song before. It’s about understanding why some things are never meant to be.

Don’t

Don’t is the epic song. It is the beginning of the end of the album. Its 2 songs in one. It’s about a guy who has been trying so hard to find himself that he’s lost everything else in the process. It was inspired by a friend of mine who felt like he had nothing to offer to anyone, so he joined the army and went to fight for his country. It was going to help him fix his broken heart. Then just before he left, the ‘girl’ left him a message about how she couldn’t bear to see him go, and that she screwed up etc. But it was all too late, he couldn’t change what was about to happen… It was definitely the hardest song to write, I knew what I wanted to do with the song but it took a while to get to the point where I was happy with it.

Picture On My Wall

This one is a song that I wrote about how I would cope if I was in that guy’s position. There’s a lot of ways that people can relate to this song. Whether it’s a friend, a family member or a lover that you have lost or you are missing, you’ll always have your memories.

And it’s my Mommy’s favourite song too. Ha.

Shot Down

Musically, the song was inspired by reggae; I think we all secretly love reggae… The lyrics to the song were inspired by an old man I was talking to at a bus stop. Some of the things he said made me realise that life is short and can be taken away from you at any time. You never know when your time is up, so make the most out of your life; it’s not a dress rehearsal. This is the real thing! And that just felt like the perfect way to finish the album.

In the end it doesn’t really matter what happens, because we all end up underground anyway. But is that a reason not to try and make something out of your life?

The Razorbax Debut Album ‘Something To Believe In’ is released Monday 15th March and is available from The bands own official website and Nova-Caine.com in CD and download and download only through iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Play, HMV, Spotify

Exclusive Interview with Razorbax Frontman Leigh Bucknall Part 1 of 2

Friday, March 12th, 2010

With the release of The Razorbax Debut Album ‘Something To Believe In’ only a few days away Nova cornered front man Leigh Bucknall this week to get the ins and outs on the man the band the and the album…….

Name: Leigh Andrew Bucknall

Age: 20 years young

Where did you grow up?

I grew up (and still live) in a little village called Wednesfield which is in a small town called Wolverhampton.

Who in the band have you been friends with the longest?

That would be Mr. Louis Bowen

How long have The Razorbax been together/How did you meet the other band members?

I met Louis and James at school, and I met Jack from playing gigs together but we were in different bands. Originally I started The Razorbax in late 2005 with Louis on drums and a kid called Joe on bass. A few years and a few changes later we finally settled down as the 4 piece we are today.

At what age did you first pick up the guitar?

I do believe I was 11 years old when I finally got my hands on one that I could call my own.

What inspired you to pick up the guitar?

I used to air guitar in front of the mirror to every single song on Dookie by Green Day. It was my first record and I was about 6 years old…  I wanted one as soon as I saw the video to the song Basket Case… I wanted that guitar right then. My mother dearest had a jumbo acoustic guitar but that thing was literally twice the size of me and my parents weren’t exactly in a financial situation where they could just go out and get me a guitar so I had to wait it out…

What age did you write your first song/What was it?

I was about 13 years old, and I wrote a song called ‘’When You Were You’’. I recorded it on an acoustic guitar using a digital camera. At first I just left it and forgot about but then a few years later I found it out and decided to work on it with an electric guitar and BAM! We had our 1st Razorbax song…

How do The Razorbax construct their songs, i.e. is it a collective effort or done by just one or two of you?

It all starts in my bedroom… I’ll write a song, take it to a band practice and record Louis’ ideas on the drums. Then once we have got something we like, Pez and Kitchen come in, learn the basics and throw their ideas into the mix. Then we just work on it until we all like it. Then we move onto the next song.

How long did it take to record the album?

Well it took me about 4 months to write all the songs, and then we spent about 4 or 5 weeks rehearsing it all and recording demos in my bedroom before taking it into the studio.

We already had it planned how it was going to turn out.

Once we got into the studio the actual recording process was over pretty quickly, if we got a good take on something then we would keep it and move on. I think we spent about 4 weeks spread out over 6 months. I’m glad that Andy (sound engineer Andy Taylor) talked us around to doing it that way. It meant we could go home with rough mixes of songs and really think about what to do next. It also meant we could have time away from the record. If we were in there for months on end, day in day out, I think we would have got sick of the songs before we even finished it!

Andy Taylor engineered and mixed the whole thing. He worked his ass off on it. Some days I would go down to the studio at about 1 in the afternoon and he would have already been in there since 10am tweaking things. Other days I would just show up with a guitar and we would spend hours just goofing around with amps and sounds. It was the best experience I’ve ever had, I learned so much from it.

Overall it probably took about 27 days or so to get from starting to record the tracks to actually having them mixed. And then a week or so having them mastered and all ready to go.

Do you have more songs ready to be recorded?

I’m always writing songs and recording demos in my room. But right now I think we want to get out and tour this record and push it as far as we possibly can. We are all really proud of it. There are a few new songs I have written but we will wait and see what happens with those. If we somehow fall into some money maybe we will follow this album up with another one next year. Who knows? I don’t.

How many gigs have you played to date?

Hundreds.

What’s the best big you’ve ever played?

We have played loads of amazing gigs. I think one of my favourites was playing at The Asylum which is a big venue in Birmingham. It was a Kerrang Radio gig, The Automatic were headlining and we were supporting, when we played there was about 400 people in there jumping around having a great time. We had a blast! It was all over too quickly. Then a few other bands played and by 11pm the room was empty and The Automatic were singing their god awful monster song to James’ dad and our band… maybe a few other people. They treated us like shit so I’m glad they had a crap gig… Good times.

How many gigs have you played/who have you played with?

Hundreds!!! We’ve played with some pretty big bands like The Wombats, Hadouken, The Automatic, My Passion…; I wouldn’t say any of us were fans of those bands though. They wouldn’t even talk to us. The Wombats just wanted to hang out in their big fancy tour bus and listen to shit like Joy Division and The Smiths…

The Automatic took all the other bands out for dinner when we were due on stage…  Oh well.

We do have some good friends in an awesome band called Sharks who we play with every now and then. We played with Beat Union once a long time ago… other than that there’s no-one really worth mentioning…

Who are your influences?

We are all influenced by different music. I listen to anything with loud guitars, loud drums and lyrics that mean something. Obviously bands like Green Day, The Jam, The Clash, The Who, Living End, Alkaline Trio etc. None of that dance shit…

I tend to relate more to the lyrics of the early Jam and Clash songs. Paul Weller’s writing in The Jam was absolutely amazing.

Musically I love the huge sonic quality of bands like Green Day. Their last 2 albums sound fucking massive! And Billie Joe’s writing is amazing; he is clever with his words.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

On a poster on your daughter’s bedroom wall biatch!!!

Ha-ha, no I honestly have no idea. But I know for a fact I will still be writing and playing music.

Which is your favourite song from the album and why?

That’s like picking your favourite kid…

Don’t is the song I’m most proud of just because musically, it pushed us to somewhere we never even thought about going. It’s probably my favourite too. Recording the vocals to that song was the best fun I’ve ever had in a vocal booth.

There is a part in the song where it all breaks down to just a piano and vocal, and there was just one word (HOPE) that was just screaming out for a choir harmony. Andy Taylor (our engineer) said to me ‘’man if you had the money you could get a choir in for that one word and it would sound ace’’ but obviously we didn’t have the money or a choir so I just said fuck it, I’ll be a choir. He got me to do about 10 different harmonies, I was hitting notes so high it hurt!

At the time it seemed silly and in my head it sounded awful, but when we played it back it sounded like a gospel choir. It was awesome. For all of us I think that one word made the song into something else. I love that song.

If you were offered the chance to headline your first tour but at the same time Green Day wanted you as support for their tour, which would you take?

Easy. We would support Green Day for the following reasons

1. We would get to watch them every night and believe me, I can tell you from experience, and it doesn’t get boring               ;)

2. When else would we ever get to play to that many people?

3.I don’t think there is a band that looks as much fun as they do.

I think if there was ever a band that could teach us anything, it would be them.

How would you describe Razorbax music?

Honest to god rock n roll music that anybody can relate to.

You’re going to be playing the first ever x109 Festival are you looking forward to it? Any surprises for the audience and listeners on line?

Yeah I can’t wait for it!!! The bands that are playing sound great. I am actually looking forward to seeing Kuda Bux. And obviously I’m looking forward to playing our music and seeing all our friends.

Any surprises? I don’t know yet. We’ll see…

Is there one song from your childhood that still hits a chord with you today?

When I Come Around by Green Day…

What message are the Razorbax trying to get across?

Just be honest with yourself.

Sum up your Album in 5 words.

Completely honest rock n’ roll!

Anything else you want to say?

Erm… Our record comes out on 15th March. Completely self funded and self released, it will be available as a digital download through iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Play, HMV, Spotify and of course Nova-Caine Music and many more places.

Could This Be The Most Important Album Release In the past 30 Years?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 09, 2010 – Championed by legions of devoted local, national and international fans, the band has performed live with some notable names such as Gaslight Anthem, The Wombats, Hadouken, The Automatic and many more they’ve also utilised social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter so successfully, that they recently saw their debut single “Wake Up Wake Up” go straight to the top of the Overplay chart.

The Razorbax are Leigh Bucknall, Jack Perry, Louis Bowen, and James Kitchen, who could just turn out to be one of the most revolutionary and important bands of the last 30 years…..

Razorbax Debut Album Something to Believe In

Together for over 2 years the band have grown and bonded into a solid unit;

Every song possesses the signature sound associated with the powerful Icons of the late 70s, early 80s and the modern day.

Something To Believe In, is a completely self written, performed, and funded Album and has been promoted and distributed by a new, energetic and savvy music start up Nova-Caine Music.

The record is a 12 track bombshell of pure honesty and rock ‘n’ roll!

It deals with the struggles of the unemployed, drug/alcohol addiction, love, lust, heartbreak, life, death. The songs range from melodic epics (Don’t, Couldn’t Wait) to 2 minute rage filled snarls (Wake Up! Wake Up!, Stupid Boy!) and an incredibly radio friendly acoustic ballad (Better Place).

There’s even a bit of reggae (Shot Down) thrown in for good measure. This is not an album written around 2 or 3 singles… and despite the difference in styles, somehow it all fits together as a piece of music, a real album, and all the songs are strong  lyrically and musically.

The album bucks the trend for manufactured and ‘image over content’ based music and delivers honest to god rock n roll, a sound track to fix Broken Britain or a rare social commentary to speak to the disaffected and isolated.
