   About Bruise
Wij zouden bezoekers uit Nederland willen welkom heten. Wij zijn zeer verheugd om op Appelpop 2009, naast de andere geweldige bands met inbegrip van legenden Golden Earring, te spelen! Wij kunnen niet wachten om in Tiel te spelen en wij verheugen ons op u daar te zien!! -----------"I'M A FAN.... A GLAD FAN TOO, AS YOUR SONGS HERE ARE JUST LOVELY." – NICK HEYWARD------------“BEAUTIFUL” – TOM ROBINSON-----------------“ASTONISHINGLY GOOD” - DANELLE MILLEA, YORKSHIRE EVENING POST-------------“THE BEST DRUMMER AND THE BEST FRONT WOMAN WE’VE EVER HAD ON THIS STAGE” – FIONA, THE RUNNING HORSE, NOTTINGHAM----------------"SIMPLE, RASPING AND GLORIOUS” – GREAT INDIE----------------“THE HOTTEST NEW BAND ON THE UK FESTIVAL SCENE.” – REALFESTIVALMUSIC.COM---------------"I'M LIKE THE SOUND OF HER VOICE AND THE COMBINATION OF FOLK ORIGINS AND INDIE-ROCK. AM I HEARING A TOUCH OF THE BETH ORTONS?" - DAVID SINCLAIR, THE TIMES----------------------BEN VORIG JAAR NAAR ENGELAND GEGAAN ALLEEN OM HEN TE ZIEN-JAAP---------------- Bruise met in Jim’s mostly derelict home in the East End of London, a little bit further east of the fashionable east end. That says more than it might, Bruise are just that bit further east of fashion, Bruise exist where inspiration starts. With two very separate ideas of what was music Isobel and Jim’s taste collided to form progressive folk like it had never been heard before. From a background of folk clubs and festivals, unacompanied singing and opened tuned guitars, Isobel had a catalogue of melodic and lyrically intense songs, Jim brought production sensibilities from early Genesis and pop genius not seen since Cindy Lauper. Their first album was much loved, critically acclaimed by The Times, The Wire and played on BBC6 Music. It opened a door to venues all over the world, from Europe to the US, their live shows gathered a momentum that left audiences slack jawed in amazement. This strong recorded presence and growing reputation as live performers won them repeat appearances at Glastonbury, support slots for cult space-rockers Hawkwind, play on US college radio, positive review after positive review and many delights on their way there. Bruise consists of Isobel Morris and Jim Kimberley, they perform as an acoustic duo, an electric two piece, then with the addition of Bob Kelly on bass they make a three piece. In any guise this band moves people, they move their feet and sometimes they’re moved to tears. Their self assured second album ‘Nobody Else’, underpins the creative impact that this band have got to make. Listen, it’s emo for adults, it’s not ‘pop’ it’s ‘bang’ and though you can’t see the future you can probably hear it…   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

The Bearded Theory festival is in trouble and needs help to survive. 

There are many things happening to try to raise money to repair the damage the tornado did and our Forum Topic 'Anyone want to help save Bearded Theory' started by Will in General Discussions has the latest updates on what SoundAwesome members are doing.

They need your help. Bands are required for a benefit gig being set up. SoundAwesome would like to support this in any way we can, so if there are any bands who would like to join in, please see the forum posts.

Also, if you don't know the Bearded Theory festival, pop along to http://beardedtheory.co.uk<font color="&amp;&#035;035;000</strong></div></font></div>
